Discrepancy in regard to the amount of the stolen bitcoin
Curiously, some sources give the amount as 119,754 and some as 119,756. US Gov says 119,754 https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/two-arrested-alleged-conspiracy-launder-45-billion-stolen-cryptocurrency, but the Guardian, supposedly quoting a Btifinex representative, gives the amount as 119,756 BTC. 

This is weird, even though it's not a large difference. Perhaps the representative took the 2 BTC and lied about it? But seriously, I think the US govt is probably more reliable in this case than the Guardian, so perhaps the amount should be changed accordingly in the article? Maybe someone feels like looking into this further. Cowabunga101 (talk) 17:32, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
