A guy was locked out of $400,000 in Bitcoin for 11 years. Last week he got it all back.


Not because AI cracked Bitcoin's encryption. Because it found a file he forgot existed.
He'd changed his wallet password drunk in college, tried 7 trillion password combinations over a decade, paid recovery experts. Nothing.
As a last resort he dumped his entire old computer into Claude and asked for help.
Claude found an older wallet backup from before the password change. Then it spotted a bug in the recovery tool he'd been using for years.
It was processing the password in the wrong order. Fixed the bug. Ran it. Keys unlocked.
The password he'd been searching for was written in a notebook the whole time.
Claude just found the right door to use it on.
