The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History is set to showcase a MacBook Pro used by former IRS Special Agent Chris Janczewski, pivotal in solving a major cryptocurrency case. The laptop helped trace and seize 120,000 Bitcoin stolen from Bitfinex in 2016, marking the Department of Justice's largest financial seizure. The case, involving hacker Ilya Lichtenstein and his wife Heather Morgan, highlights evolving methods in tackling crypto crimes. Curator Ellen Feingold emphasizes the importance of documenting Bitcoin's history, as the museum aims to expand its collection of Bitcoin-related artifacts.
