Many were trolls who lied, IMO.
A password hash does not allow you to login.

60000 password hashes, where 26 of them used the password "password", 11 used the password "abc123", 7 used the password "bitcoin" 3 used the password "secret" and 1 used the password "fuck" - that lets you log in.

I don't have a GPU, and my CPU is slow, but it's still trivial to find (some) passwords given enough hashes.  With a little more effort it's possible to find the combination of weak password and high balance.
