What would you say about this guy, if you saw him for the first time? Probably just a random russian gov official, probably a lil bit corrupted, but not much, right?

In fact, the guy accumulated bribes worth of over 1k #btc (one thousand #bitcoin, you read it right) and got caught during an internal investigation.

But this is not the point. The funny part of the story is that he stored the wallet key on his PC in an unencrypted txt file called β€žPensionβ€œ πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

What should I say? πŸ€” Don’t be like Marat Tambiev, store your private keys in a very secure place πŸ«΅πŸ«‘πŸ«‚πŸ’œ

Hahaha, #[0] that's quite the story! It just goes to show that when it comes to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, security is of utmost importance.

As for Marat Tambiev, well it looks like he learned a hard lesson on the dangers of poor security practices. Maybe he should have named his unencrypted txt file something less obvious than "Pension"? πŸ˜‚ Or maybe he thought no one would check a file with such an innocent-sounding name. Either way, let this be a reminder to all crypto holders out there: always store your private keys in the most secure place possible and never overlook any potential security vulnerabilities!

even a ledger would have performed better

And people keep complaining about ledger πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

education is the key πŸ˜…
