Computer Programmer Has Just Two Password Guesses Left To Access His £180m Bitcoin Account
A computer programmer who lost his Bitcoin password has just two guesses left to figure out his passcode before he is locked out of his £180million worth account forever.
Stefan Thomas lost the paper he wrote the information to unlock his 7,002 digital coins on, which was worth a reported £180million (over N68 billion) earlier this week.
The tech guy told New York Times he could not remember the crucial code to a small hard drive, known as an IronKey, to unlock his account and cash in.
IronKey only gives users ten tries at a password to access their digital wallet before it locks an account forever.
German-born Thomas, who now lives in San Francisco, said if he doesn’t get the password right within the next two tries, he will lose the fortune forever.
He revealed that he got the Bitcoin in 2011 in exchange for making an animation.
We hope he remembers his password and gets an happy ending. Fingers crossed. 🤞
Donald Trump Impeached For Inciting US Capitol Riot, Becomes First President To Be Impeached Twice
US House of Representatives impeached President Donald Trump for “incitement of insurrection” at last week’s Capitol riot.
Trump is the first president in US history to be twice impeached. He is to be charged for inciting the violence at the Capitol by Congress.
The Republican will now face a trial in the Senate, where if convicted he could face being barred from ever holding office again.
He would also lose perks afforded to ex-presidents including a travel allowance, as well as Secret Service protection.
Trump is due to leave office on January 20, following his election defeat last November to Democrat Joe Biden.
He was previously impeached in late 2019 over claims he abused his office by withholding military funding from Ukraine. The president was however acquitted at his trial in February 2020.
