I was reading some old posts and came across this thread where a user named Kevin(toasty). In the thread, he shared the incredible story of how he bought BTC259684.77 for just $2613, essentially acquiring them for a mere fraction of a cent each. It is a remarkable stroke of luck, and it got me wondering if he still holds onto those bitcoins.
Kevin also provided a detailed explanation of how he managed to obtain such a substantial amount of bitcoin at a lowest cost, including his strategy to buy from MT Gox exchange.
this story is like you won and all your funds robbed.

Wow that is a fascinating story indeed and more than the story I believe it show's how bitcointalk is a treasure to a bitcoin's history. This MT Gox Exchange itself was born here on bitcointalk by one of bticointalk's VIP member MagicalTux. then the term HODL is from bitcointalk, the great Bitcoin Pizza sale there are many more.

Anyway thank you for sharing the story and if you want to read the story this event and the what Mt Gox have to say then no further bitcointalk is here to entertain you

A security breach of the Mt. Gox bitcoin exchange caused the price of bitcoin to fraudulently drop to one cent on the Mt. Gox exchange, after an unknown hacker allegedly used credentials from a Mt. Gox auditor's compromised computer to transfer a large number of bitcoins illegally to himself.

In order to prove that Mt. Gox still had control of the coins, the move of 424,242 bitcoins from "cold storage" to a Mt. Gox address was announced beforehand, and executed in Block 132749
