How about this little theory:

A hacker has commited a grand bitcoin theft a while ago and is now trying to clear the trails to these Bitcoins through a puzzle. The one who will win the grand prize is the hacker himself, who can now hide behind the claim he has won the Bitcoins with his sheer knowledge.

Edit: Maybe the victims can ask for a subpoena to check a certain Binance account? Maybe there is another account at Polo, that might be interesting for LE.

A few addons to my theory:
(OP's wallet from 04-04-2018 until now)

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/13hLyfRHg7p9Zw7WHToRT67JR1HR92Mvxw (OP's wallet until 04-04-2018)




Just quoting myself. Well played, OP.

Ok, so you still think it was just money laundering?

I hope the winner makes a video on the solution. Would be glad to learn Smiley

I guess for privacy and tax reasons.. we might never really hear of the winner....!

I think that someone who was able to solve the puzzle know how to hide his identity  Wink
Congratulations to the winner Smiley

Let us know the solution.

I think I had solved 60-70% of the puzzle.


Coral, Item, Half, Road, Cry, Gun, Dumb - I guess these were the 7 words of the BIP39 Mnemonic

Loop, man, foil, baby, bag, zero - of these 5 words could be the remaining



I hope the pip or the winner makes the final solution public (if not the method used).

Awaiting the next puzzle:)

Oh man, any idea how many more words you needed?
Congrats on being so close  Smiley

if you look at adress its getting split in 25 btc seperates wallets. hmmmmmm Huh Huh

Maybe a team solved the puzzle and they're splitting the reward.
Or the winner doesn't fell secure storing whole amount in one wallet.

I see that people are enthusiastic about donating. I can suggest that in the future you leave a btc address for donations from people. Then when it's full enough, put together another puzzle to solve. So it helps keep the community entertained by solving puzzles, so I see this keeps everyone at ease. Thank you very much


Yeah, for sure, people will donate tens of bitcoins for puzzles, OK  Tongue
