The following part caught my attention while I was reading through the description part of the video in question:
"I am the only human alive that knows the bitcoin private key hidden in this video series. I will take the secret to my grave if I have to." J.R. Forsyth
- That name looked familiar to me, so I did some digging and I was right!
From what I've read so far, they refunded
[coin value] those that approached them, but despite that, I'm not sure if I could trust his ability for keeping that private key safe
[perhaps it's just me but good luck to anyone that would try solving it].
