According to the story, he changed his wallet password while drunk in 2015 and forgot it. He spent years trying brute-force recovery, paid $250 to professionals, and tested trillions of passwords. Nothing worked.
As a last resort, he uploaded his entire old college computer files into Claude. The AI found an older wallet file, identified a bug in the btcrecover tool, and cracked the password.
hehe see that's a bit scary as the way to recover it was through an exploit
but not as scary as I thought it would be because there are ways to avoid that so happy for him
