@investmenttakes: A man walked into a New York City police station, handed an officer a USB stick, and said, "Everything on here belongs to me now." He was trying to claim a fortune that belonged to thousands of strangers. And it might actually work. #finance #investing
can he borrow against the bitcoin in the judge order?

Bitcoin arbitrage, he can at that point have legal claim on the wallet; and he can send the previous owner a message and say hey I own your BTC wallet, want it back; cut me in for 20% and you can have it back 😂

lost property, but it wasn’t lost in the state of New York. So it won’t work

Not really... Bitcoin is just a ledger. he owns the record of Bitcoins. That's like finding a bank statement and trying to say you found the accounts and now you own them.

how the fuck would NY judge have jurisdiction over Bitcoin? it could be owned by a guy in China, why would he care about a nNw York ruling?

user3317895429566 :
Just because these wallets are dormant doesn’t mean they are “lost” so the entire premise of this scam is BS

Would be so funny if he got taxed on it 😂

Bold to assume that US, or more specifically NY state law has jurisdiction.

he never "found" the bitcoin, cause he doesnt have access to it; the general public is in the same position as him.

There’s no way he can prove they are abandoned! Just because nobody responded to his ads does not make them abandoned. They have no obligation to respond because they know they have the keys!

You can't lose bitcoin. It's virtual and listed publically. You can lose the private keys, but that's not what he found.

Matt Hartman :
If he owns the bitcoin wallets, can he use it as collateral for low interest loans like Musk?

So I can take a picture of the mona lisa and then claim I own the Mona Lisa?

I disagree. I believe the embodiment of bitcoin is it’s an asset without borders. No country has jurisdiction over it. Only the Bitcoin owners should be able to decipher ownership over the “lost” assets.

Why is not ownership of the private key the basis for ownership.

He doesn’t own it anymore than someone owns an NFT. The court shouldn’t recognize ownership of a copy of data.

so if I take a photo of a house in Switzerland that has no activity I can claim it?

If someone knows my bank account number on an account where I just park my money but don’t use at all and then claims that if I don’t respond by ex-date he would own the account makes no sense.
