Comment on 3.4B in stolen Bitcoin inside Cheetos container

Comments

2 interesting things for me:

you can hide $3.4 billion in a cheetos can
the feds tracked him down 11 years after the event

also interesting, but i would rather have known how they tracked him...

A photo shared by the department shows that the crypto tin originally contained Cheetos-brand popcorn in both Flamin' Hot and Cheddar flavors.

I think they didn't really track him. I think he drew suspicion by being filthy rich without official source of income. But not sure how they got a warrant for his house

Tax evasion?
