Reward password. A banker lost the password to a crypto wallet with $470 million

The founder of the Estonian bank LHV Bank, Rine Lihmus, owns a crypto wallet with 250,000. ETH is approximately $470 million.

However, the husband does not have access to them because he lost the password to them.

Coinbase Head of Business Operations Conor Grogan found an address with 250,000 ETH back in February 2023. However, at that time it was not known who owned the crypto wallet.

Now, according to him, it turned out that the asset belongs to Lykhmus. Earlier, the director of the Estonian bank LHV Bank announced the loss of access.

” One secret has been revealed. Unfortunately, Ryne Lichmus has lost the keys and can't access those hundreds of millions. If you can somehow help him get them back, he's willing to share them with you,” wrote Conor Grogan on the X social network.

Lychmus bought the cryptocurrency in 2014 during the Ethereum ICO, when the value of 1 ETH was about 30 US cents. And on November 10, 2021, the asset traded at $4,878, according to CoinGecko. If the founder of LHV Bank sold 250,000. ETH, he would have earned approximately $1.22 billion.

The director of an Estonian bank admitted that he often loses passwords. He did not deal with restoring access to the wallet, but he is ready to use the help of experts.

” I cannot solve this problem alone. If anyone thinks they can help me get the money back, I'll consider all offers ,” he was quoted as saying by Incrypted.
