If the OP's wallet turns out to be one of the same batch and it's just some trickery or worse, then we got punked just the same. It would also mean these last 10 pages and deep discussions of ethics and mushrooms was all for nothing.

Hey I like good quality mushrooms, they are multipurpose and you can make pizzas with them, plus I can destroy all evidence of ownership really quickly.

Very interesting! I just went back to re-read the few replies after easternklaas made that post; it seems like all of us missed the implications of the "concealed code" he referenced. In light of what dkbit98 found on reddit, it seems like the OP's wallet is just a ruse.

You want to hear one of my wild theories?
What if member easternklaas was actually creator and maker of this fake paper wallet, and he used bitcointalk forum just as promotion for his ''product''.
I can't prove anything and it's juts my speculation, maybe because I had funny (detective) feeling about this subject all the time.

This would mean that the Reddit OP has no idea about Bitcoin though, right? I mean: 'access the account'? Which account? There are no Bitcoin accounts.
It must be targeted at people who don't actually know this. People who think a website saying: 'here is an address with X Bitcoin on it, send us $50 to access it' isn't something out of the ordinary. Roll Eyes

There was probably a link or a QR code that was opening some fake exchange with account and fake balance.
Like I said before, something similar is available online for years, and they distribute links with discord, telegram, etc.
