If a vault buried somewhere you don't remember is unearthed by experts decades later, I would argue it isn't yours.

"Two years ago when “Michael,” an owner of cryptocurrency, contacted Joe Grand to help recover access to about $2 million worth of bitcoin he stored in encrypted format on his computer, Grand turned him down.

Michael, who is based in Europe and asked to remain anonymous, stored the cryptocurrency in a password-protected digital wallet. He generated a password using the RoboForm password manager and stored that password in a file encrypted with a tool called TrueCrypt. At some point, that file got corrupted, and Michael lost access to the 20-character password he had generated to secure his 43.6 BTC (worth a total of about 4,000 euros, or $5,300, in 2013). Michael used the RoboForm password manager to generate the password but did not store it in his manager. He worried that someone would hack his computer and obtain the password."

The password was forgotten and he asked 2 famous hackers for help, who took a fee and gave the wallet back to Michael. So, ownership is sort of loosely defined at this point. Sure, Michael probably had legal rights to it, but it held no actual value until taken by somebody else.

So you're saying it's even more ironic?

I could spare some hundreds of Gigs but I don't really have the bandwidth to support it, personally.

Well if the witness accounts are true then he sounds like Kanye West if he didn't own a record label.

Sure thing, got room for 100PB?

Here I thought they already announced a release version, but it turns out it was just another layer of grift in their infinite grift sandwich.

Only just a little ironic that the Israeli Flag anon writes a short fiction of an arrogant upper class getting their comeuppance.

Or Archaeologists.

You can't steal what nobody owns.

This year 30 Million Anons died in a single stream due to pesticide runoff in Australia.

Australian EPA saw the warning signs of this in prior years but claimed it found no correlation between fish death and chemical use on nearby agriculture. The chemicals in question are banned in most other modern nations.
