These cops found a computer with $3 billion in a popcorn bucket.
And it all belonged to a regular guy named Jimmy
In 2011, he accidentally discovered a bug in the system of the illegal marketplace Silk Road.
By clicking a button twice,
Jimmy would receive double the amount that was in his deposit.
But one day, several hundred thousand dollars were stolen from his home.
He decided to call the police.
Just imagine the thief of 50,000 bitcoins worth $3.4 billion, who was being sought by the police, calling them himself.
The police officer asked him to open his balcony to search for evidence.
The guy trusted the police so much that he left his computer on.
The inspector inserted a jiggler, a software used to simulate the movement of a computer mouse.
Now the screen wouldn't just shut down.
Five minutes passed... and the officers with the search warrant were there.
They found a single-board computer with $3 billion in a bank under the popcorn.
And a safe with cash.
And so Jimmy was sent to prison for a year.
