It will be interesting to see/read about the wif500 and if they solve it.

I think it's just a clever scam.
The author claims that the photo is from a burnt diary in 2017, but the Ethereum address in the same photo was used in 2021, and just one day.
Why write this address and key in a diary if there was no balance on it at the time?
And even more so to use it after so many years..

Well, outside looking in, whoever's address, they could still use it because they had the full private key and normally you create a wallet before there is a balance on it, whereas the btc address in question is missing the first part of the wif private key. I dunno...it will be interesting to see if the coins move anytime soon. As well as #64 and #120
