A very terrible way to begin the new year, although has this been the first time he lost large amounts of Bitcoin? Imagine a Bitcoin dev lossing such what would be said if same got lost by a rookie. I feel so sad for the loss because that is more than enough for anyone.
I hope everyone learns the lessons here no one is above mistakes like this all one has to do is to make sure you are well updated about the current security to back your wallet.
I hope the news does not affect newbies and rookies entering the crypto space.
