So anyone willing to help be aware.  Angry
Help with what exactly? It's a bought fake wallet with no actual private keys, I just don't understand why people keep such large amounts on a single exposed public key.

When you want to be your own bank, you should also do what bankers do, doing some work to keep the money safe, in bitcoin is as simple as holding the coins on a fresh address with no exposed public key. But we don't really know what has happened to some of these wallets and their owners.

With recovering the funds. Read the thread, there are people actually volunteering to help.  Grin

As to keeping huge amounts in a single wallet, if it was created back in 2010 it's possible because 8k BTC was peanuts back then and there was no reason to split or somehow protect it additionally.  Grin
