Former Mt. Gox CEO proposes Bitcoin hard fork to recover 79,956 BTC worth over $5.2B
Former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès proposed a Bitcoin hard fork to recover roughly 79,956 BTC, worth more than $5.2 billion at current prices, according to a proposal he published. The plan targets a long-dormant address linked to the exchange's 2011 hack. The coins have not moved in more than 15 years, which the proposal says may indicate the attacker lost keys or chose not to return the funds.
