Funnily enough around the time this incident first happened, there were rumours swirling around my extended friend group that I had a substantial number of BTC. It was all untrue and I made sure to shut down the rumours ASAP since there were politician's kids in the circle and I was afraid some might take notice.

Glad I took those steps because who wants to get roughed up just for them to find out the rumours held no water. I never found out who started the rumours either.
