They have friends in high places, or they themselves reside in high places. No one forgot — it was covered up

Kira I encourage you to make another video on this topic and go deeper into the aspects that you deemed to be too much for this video. Your research on this is great work and could reopen the discussion on this along with this video

Particularly excellent graphics on this one. Obviously a lot of work has gone into this. Well done!

someday, someone will brag about it to the wrong person. that's how they'll get caught.

What if the goal was never to cash out the bitcoin, but instead make it seem like it was being laundered, and the reason it's sitting spread out across multiple exhanges is for the purpose of market manipulation? With amounts that large, you would be able to pump any coin you wanted, if you didn't care about losses on the accounts with stolen coins. Not to mention the tag alongs would end up holding some of the bags, thinking they were trading legitimate price action. You could coordinate to trade in the same coin pairs, and with outside crypto and clean wallets move the value without a direct link to the dirty coins. Just food for thought.

the fact the hackers weren't caught without even trying to use tornado cash makes me think its some kind of CIA op where they're above the law

I like that Kira tries to solve crimes without his Deathnote.

What makes this amazing is that in Japanese business you are expected to apologize publicly (a volunteer embarrassment) and you would never see any other crypto exchange do this.

It's interesting that despite the many examples of people losing Bitcoin through their own stupidity the amount of Bitcoin stolen through hacks is significantly higher than all of the Bitcoin lost due to ignorance and mistakes with self-custody. Self-custody is always the answer, not your keys not your coins

Dang it! I just found your channel and I'm glad I did. Love every bit of it! Thank you!

[Stratxgy.]

Amazing video, and I love the editing style!

I don't NEED to remember, I have Kira to educate me.

My brain couldn't parse "five hundred million, " thought it was "five hundred thousand." 💀

The efficiency of this *sentinel Recover* is next level. To juggle walk throughs of various angles on the topic delivered to-camera, differnet content per topic from various folks underneath the umbrella of the track list of the larger big band concert itself is engaging and refined. To make a dense taccess like this so digestible is really something. Awesome work *sentinel Recover* !!

I had problem comprehending trading in general. I tried watching other YouTube trading channels, but they made the concepts more complicated. I was almost giving up until when i discovered content and explain everything in detail. The videos are easy to follow

They’re waiting for 7 years to pass for the statute of limitations in Japan.

As far as I can tell, looks like an inside job. One wallet, one coin, one malware, it almost sounds too easy.

Hey, remember the guy buying 2 large pizzas with bitcoins?

10, 000 BTC... Let that sink in...

Friends of mine went from good people to NFT shillers, to AI techbros, and now these shitcoins are here again. Safe to say, they aren't my friends anymore.
