Chapter 740: Chapter 456: Is This Considered as Good Luck or Bad Luck?_3

Is this guy... a money-giving child?

My friends, can you guess what that thing is?

Well, some of you may already know, it’s a Bitcoin wallet key!

As we all know, when Bitcoin first came out, it was worth only a dime a coin, and very few people collected it.

Then it gradually rose, reaching a high of over 60,000 dollars per coin!

A few years ago, when it wasn’t banned in our country, many people used illegal programs to speculate on it.

Many unscrupulous platforms also treated Bitcoin as a popular trading project, even deriving many other virtual currencies.

However, most people have little understanding of blockchain, digital currency, and mining, or they are half-understanding, or very confused.

But that doesn’t prevent them from trading coins.

Many people even fantasize that if the coin they are trading now were to be traded at the price back then, wouldn’t they be rich now?

But there’s also some education about it.

Trading coins today, you don’t really own digital currency, you’re just trading its price.

Some illegal platforms, especially those that are eager for quick success, or semi-fraudulent ones, invest in trading coins, but in fact, their accounts have never really owned digital currency, they are only trading the price.

Those Bitcoins are stored in a digital wallet. Digital wallets require passwords. One package, one password.

Once upon a time, someone bought 7,500 Bitcoins, but the wallet password was too cumbersome, so he stored it on a hard drive.

Back then, the coins were very cheap, just a few cents each, so the person didn’t care.

Then one day, he suddenly realized that Bitcoin had skyrocketed, surpassing 20,000 dollars.

Only then did this person remember that he had all this wealth, and hurriedly went to look for it.

At this point, he found that the hard drive containing his Bitcoin wallet password had been thrown into the trash can four years ago!

And now, this wealth worth hundreds of millions of dollars lies in that bottomless garbage heap.

The owners of the Bitcoins raised several million dollars, hoping to deal with the landfill, but were refused by the local authorities.

Although the true identity of the person who designed Bitcoin is still unknown, it must be said that he is a genius.

Currently, due to the protocol, the total number of Bitcoins cannot exceed 21 million.

But in fact, nearly half of the Bitcoins on the market are in a dormant state.

A large part of it has been lost.

In various ways of losing.

Many people, in the early stage of Bitcoin development, felt that it wasn’t worth much and didn’t care much about it. When the price went up later, they had already forgotten the password to the package.

Others wrote the wrong password, inputted it wrong multiple times and the account was cleared.

Now Sean Knight is sure that the USB drive in the deceased’s box contains the account and password for a Bitcoin wallet!

Isn’t this like giving away money?

He calmed himself down and walked out of the room.

"Boss, I’ve already reported the plane crash to the authorities on our island," Elijah Hastings told Sean Knight when he came out. "They said they would send professionals to deal with it as soon as possible."

"Well, hand over the bodies when they arrive. Leave the professional stuff to the professionals; we shouldn’t get involved."

Elijah nodded.

Sean Knight continued:

"Alright, I’m not going out anymore. You guys are free to do whatever you want. Just don’t leave the island for now. We’ll go back to our country when this is all over."

Staying on the Big Island has a big advantage: you can make your own decisions in case of any problem.

If you go back to their country, they could easily be troubled by problems.

Some issues are hard to sidestep, but they are annoying.

But on Big Island, with inconvenient contacts and control over their own affairs, they can avoid a lot of trouble.

That’s why Sean Knight and the others flew straight to Big Island after leaving New York.

If the people in New York suspected Sean Knight because of Gross’s case, Sean Knight might have trouble if they found him in his country.

Not to mention arresting him, but if they asked him to cooperate in the investigation, it would be quite troublesome. After all, there is an embassy over there that can coordinate.

But if he’s on Big Island, Sean Knight can totally ignore them.

The local authorities here are quick to act, and within a day, a boat has arrived at Big Island.

Elijah Hastings went to negotiate, handed over the bodies, and then took them on a trip to the plane wreck site. He watched the people diving and salvaging the wreckage, and then came back.

"Strange, it’s not on the news!" Douglas Cooper had been following the news closely. Surprisingly, neither the internet nor the television reported any details of the plane crash.

It was all covered up.

Was it because the owner of the plane was very powerful, or for some other reason?

In the end, it was Elijah Hastings who had come with the Indonesian authorities and the salvage boat that revealed the truth of the matter.

"The ownership of this Gulfstream aircraft is problematic. They haven’t found the exact identity of this person yet, so they didn’t report it."

Sean Knight nodded slightly.

So that’s what happened.

"Also, they said that, judging from the wound on the man’s head, it is a high probability that he was murdered. That’s why they didn’t report it to avoid alerting others."

"What’s there to be alarmed about? Many people know about it." Douglas Cooper was puzzled.

Sean Knight, on the other hand, was thinking about another problem:

"Just think about it. Isn’t there something wrong with our island? This is the second plane crash here in less than a year. If this continues, will it scare the tourists away?"

"You’re right!" Elijah and the others also realized at that moment, "How could this be such a coincidence? They all fell on top of Big Island; it doesn’t look like they were attacked by missiles or anything. What’s going on?"

Sean Knight wasn’t sure either, but he secretly decided that he must get to the bottom of this!

Joking aside, he still has three planes. If he can’t figure it out, who knows when his own plane might fall out of the sky, and he might have a big problem falling from it?

He thought about the USB drive in his hand.

There are tens of thousands of coins in it!

This dude is a big fish!
