Hi,
i have found a wallet with 40 BTC.
The last transaction was 2011.
Can i take the money?
Or is it not legal?
Please Help!

Best Regards!

You found the keys to a car. Can you take the car? Is it legal?

I guess here in bitcoin the situation is not same because we are supposed to keep our private key in safe place and one who get the private key is considered as the owner of wallet. Its not the fault of julempX to get  the private key of that particular wallet.
