It's less that "white people never say the N word" and more that you absolutely should not be following someone if you believe they're as racist as that.

I'm not saying Buddhists never have ambitions, but they're definitely doing buddhism wrong if they do.

I highly doubt they did anything remotely like "hacking" the seed phrase. I don't care for cryptocurrency, but I hate cop bullshit even more, so here's my 2 cents.

or just found it written somewhere in the house?

this one.

A seed phrase is just an encoding of a long binary number which can be used to derive the secret key. Trying all the possibilities probably isn't possible, and I think it's also unlikely that they found a way to weaken it. What they probably did is find it and type it in. They DID raid the dude's house, where he was probably keeping a copy of it.

"Twenty or thirty years ago, police did not hack, that was not a thing that they did, but that's very much part of the bread and butter of a modern police force nowadays," Mr Uren said.

LMAO fuck off with this. I don't doubt they have some tech guys on hand. I don't think they have access to the quantum computer you'd need for this.

Well did he smash the CD insert? He should do that. That would definitely make the whole thing worthwhile.

Best I came up with is "Ataris" but I'm pretty sure that's not a Bible

I don't care for a lot of what Apple does, but there's no denying they understand how to make money--and how to avoid losing it.

So what did you do with them once they were trapped? I imagine lifting that box would be putting your own life at risk, but even if you survived that you now have a feral cat to deal with.
