Informational only. This is an open source collection of what others have published about the incident, together with an explanation of it. It is not financial, security or legal advice, and not a substitute for professional advice about your own situation. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or speaking for Coinkite. Material is attributed and quoted as published; where sources disagree their scenarios are kept separate with their assumptions rather than reconciled into one answer. Everything is meant to be checked against the linked evidence rather than taken on trust. Act on your own judgement about a particular situation. Editorial standards and corrections.

Do not disclose recovery material to a website, form, message or support account. This site never asks for it, and contributions containing recovery words or private keys are not accepted.

Erik Cason joking that Mark Karpelès should take over Coinkite. Kept as a dated marker of the gallows humour around magicaltux-2083966069124014412, which is the post it plays on, and of how the community was reaching for earlier custody failures as comparison.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
