Who wants to buy some of my magic beans?

Only a thousand bucks will secure you a large quantity (ok, actually three) of them. Totally absolutely completely one zillion percent guaranteed. What do you have to lose?

$1000 for 3 bitcoins? I thought they were selling at $20,000 a pop not too long ago.

I'll take 1,000. My rich uncle-in-law's heiress will contact you shortly.

I like this comment someone else made[0]:

For some reason this sounds like the plot of a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

CEO of Crypto Company...

1) Takes time off to build orphanage in region noted for fake deaths.

2) Subsequently dies unexpectedly.

3) Is immediately cremated.

4) Wife waits a month before saying "oh by the way he is dead"

5) Wife claims all keys on encrypted laptop

6) World watches as wallets mysteriously empty

7) Experts crack laptop

8) All wallets turn up in fact empty

9) $140 million disappears into the ether

Don't forget:

11) Co-founder of troubled crypto-exchange is a convicted Identity theft felon - who spent years creating & living under false identities..

12) Guy who dies/disappears is a pilot who after practising low flying in his (very expensive) small fast Cessna 400 Corvalis TT (CDN reg. C-FTMW)- abandons it outside at a small rural airport and never goes back.
