Bitfinex Hack

The Smithsonian Institute has obtained the laptop owned by former IRS agent Chris Janczewski which was used to track down the 2016 Bitfinex hacker who stole 120,000 Bitcoin.

An Internal Revenue Service agent’s MacBook Pro that traced and seized 120,000 Bitcoin stolen from the crypto exchange Bitfinex in 2016 is now in the collection of Washington, DC’s world-renowned Smithsonian.

“The laptop is the centerpiece of a criminal case that shows an evolving understanding of cryptocurrency,” Ellen Feingold, curator for the National Numismatic Collection (NNC), explained in a Nov. 18 article for Smithsonian Magazine.

The laptop was owned by former IRS Special Agent Chris Janczewski, who now heads global investigations at blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs. Janczewski helped discover the keys to the 120,000 Bitcoin (BTC) stolen from Bitfinex by Ilya Lichtenstein, who was sentenced to five years in jail for the hack earlier this month.
