🪙 In Ethereum a "stash" was found from 2016 — 1,003 ETH, which had been locked for 9 years in a broken HongCoin ICO smart contract.

A white hat hacker found a way to carefully bypass the bug, the project team conducted 41 on-chain transactions, and now 48 participants of the failed ICO will be able to get their money back almost a decade later.
