š The Smithsonian is adding a new piece to its collectionāa MacBook Pro! But not just any laptop; this one helped crack the case of 120,000 Bitcoin stolen from Bitfinex in 2016. Former IRS agent Chris Janczewski's laptop, now a museum artifact, played a key role in nabbing the crypto crooks.
- Janczewski treated the blockchain like a digital crime scene, leading to the arrest of Ilya Lichtenstein and his rapper wife, Razzlekhan.
- The Bitcoin, worth $3.6 billion, marked the DOJ's largest financial seizure.
- The laptop will be showcased in "The Value of Money" gallery, highlighting Bitcoin's evolving role in finance.
