🤖 Claude AI recovers $400K in lost Bitcoin

A user known as Cprkrn lost access to 5 bitcoins bought for about $250 each after changing his wallet password while drunk. The bitcoins were locked in an old file on a forgotten laptop for 11 years, now worth around $398,000.

He fed the old wallet files to the AI Claude, which did not crack encryption but found an earlier wallet backup predating the password change.

Combined with his saved recovery phrase, this allowed access without breaking any crypto security.
