what are you going to do if you figure out the public address's private key?  how does one go about claiming the BTC in the address?
thx

If you have the privkey you open Bitcoin Core, open the debug console, type "importprivkey keykeykeykeyhere", and wait for your monies to appear.

What arg said...

There are other ways to do it depending on the wallet you use.  You essentially look up info on how to import the private key into the wallet of your choice.  Not sure if you can do it with an exchange account like Coinbase.
