I absolutely love stories about people that bought a load of bitcoin years ago but can’t access it now for whatever reason and so are missing out on millions of dollars and this one is no exception.

I dunno what this guy’s name is but he decided to logon to TikTok to vent his frustrations about the situation and boy is it a hoot for us watching at home. Take a look at the clip below (make sure you watch it because there’s a lot more than the summary I’ve put below):
@conspiracycubed #lawyersoftiktok #microsoft has blocked access to my email address.. that contains the info to my crypto wallet with over 100 bitcoins #helpme #findersfee ♬ original sound – Wubalubadubdub
Guess who’s got 1.8 million dollars worth of Bitcoin sat in a dead wallet? Me.
Guess who can’t get into this wallet because the information is stored on their Hotmail account? Me.
Why can’t I get onto this Hotmail account? Is it because you lost the password? No, I know the f**king password. It’s my account.
So why can’t I get on it? Well, it appears that somebody has tried logging into my account.
Now it’s asking me to send a text to verify that I am who I say I am, even though the profile picture on the account is of me.
So I say to them, I don’t have this anymore, because I had this f**king phone number back in 2010.
I bought the Bitcoin on a whim and just forgot about it.
I bought at least 100 Bitcoin. Now that is the equivalent of 1.7million or 1.8 million dollars. I spent 40 quid on it. Maybe 60? I don’t know. It could have been as much as 200 pounds.
I cannot access my account. Is there any lawyers out there that can help me?
Can I do a subject access request? You know, force them f**kers to give me my data it’s my data.
My f**king face is on the profile picture. I’ve got emails from my girlfriend, who I’m still with 12 years later. And that’s not proof.
That doesn’t count as proof to them. I can show government ID, I cannot remember who the f**k my best friend was from 2005.
And I no longer have access to this phone number. I’m actually trying to buy my old phone number just so I can get on my own Hotmail account.
If there’s any legal help out there. Please get in touch with me. I will cut you in. I swear to god.
Lol. It feels like there should be someone he can talk to about that to get it unlocked, especially if he just offered to pay them some of the money that he would be sitting on once he gets the details. Seems like there must be a way around it?
He says in the comments that he’s looking at getting his own phone number back and hopes that he’ll be able to get into his account that way. Here’s hoping hey!
For more of the same, check out KSI explaining how he lost $7 million investing in Bitcoin. Ouch.
