>Collins told gardaí he has had time to come to terms with the loss of the money and regarded it as punishment for his own stupidity.

poor weed dealer couldn't give up his 6,000 bitcoins to the authorities to confiscate because he stored the only copy of his keys with his fishing rods that his landlords discarded. fortunately he came to terms with his loss pretty quickly. true proof of character.

boating is dangerous though, this unfortunate man amassed a huge fortune from dealing weed and the authorities couldn't confiscate his bitcoins because he was storing the private keys with his fishing rods which were lost.

what would you do if you lost all your wealth because your fishing rods got disposed of? fortunately he's a very strong character and is already over it

>Collins told gardaí he has had time to come to terms with the loss of the money and regarded it as punishment for his own stupidity.

but not many people could take it so lightly. poor dude. and the state is also poorer because they can't auction away those illicitly acquired bitcoins. huge loss for everyone. don't go boating.
