Jimmy Zhong Stole $3.4 Billion

Jimmy Zhong Stole $3.4 Billion But Made One Mistake.

The true story of James Jimmy Zhong. In 2012, while studying Computer Science at the University of Georgia, he found an exploit on the most notorious darknet market allowing him to take Bitcoins directly from the site.

As the years went on and Bitcoin soared in value his loot had increased to a staggering $3.4 billion dollars.

For nearly a decade he avoided the FBI & IRS, but in 2019, he made one single mistake leading them directly to his door. Jimmy’s case is the second-largest seizure in the Department of Justice’s history.
