FBI Investigates Bitcoin Developer Event Linked to Luke Dashjr’s Hack FBI Subpoenas Mike Schmidt for Event IntelThe FBI has turned its attention to a
Bitcoin developer event in Atlanta, with suspicions of a connection to the
Luke Dashjr Bitcoin theft. Co-founder of Brink, Mike Schmidt, revealed that he received a subpoena demanding details of attendees from the October 2022 CoreDev gathering.
Schmidt's Compliance and Limited DisclosureUnder a year-long non-disclosure order, Schmidt had to keep mum until now. He complied with the FBI's request, sharing not only full names but also
GitHub usernames and email addresses. Schmidt clarified that he was in the dark about the specifics of the investigation.
Irony Strikes: Luke Dashjr's Costly LossIn a twist of fate, it was none other than
Luke Dashjr himself who suffered a major blow. The prominent Core Bitcoin developer admitted that his
PGP key was compromised, leading to the pilfering of over 200 BTC—worth a staggering $14.2 million today!
