Summary

This is not your everyday bitcoin heist. Instead of hacking the Gibson and stealing encrypted bitcoin wallets, two Icelandic bad boys named Thor and Haffie the Pink, took an old school approach. In fact they didn't actually steal any bitcoins, they stole the mining machines that produced them. Steal a bitcoin you eat for a day, steal a bitcoin mining machine you eat for life.

And I think we're kind of in a bit of a way, we have way too many heist cycle right now. I'm glad you feel that way because I'm doing the next episode. I'm slightly concerned about what that's going to be. Well, we got like honestly, pennies from heaven because our amazing article came out about a very recent heist that I'm very excited to talk about today. But you know what we always got to do first.
