About this video

Stefan Thomas, a German-born programmer living in the U.S., made headlines when he forgot the password to a hard drive containing the private keys to 7,002 Bitcoin—worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The drive uses IronKey encryption, which gives users just 10 attempts before it permanently locks the contents. Thomas wrote down the password years earlier, but lost the paper. After eight failed attempts, he’s left with only two chances to unlock his fortune. Despite offers of help from hackers and cryptographers, Thomas has accepted his situation, using it as a lesson in the dangers and responsibilities of digital ownership. His story is a cautionary tale about cryptocurrency: without a password, there’s no recovery, no bank to call—just irreversible loss.
