TFTC relaying an account of a COLDCARD user who generated weak entropy at the bottom of the last bear market, unknowingly collided with another wallet, and had bitcoin stolen at a time when nobody could explain it. If accurate, this describes a loss from the same defect years before it was identified, which bears directly on when the exposure began. Second-hand, undated as to the specific event, with no transaction identifier attached; the video is not captured by this tool.

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