Promote with Leviathan News5 BTC from address 14VJySbs... got swept into Hyperunit after sitting since Apr. 1, 2015; tiny flow, huge UX/security tell. Claude didn't break SHA-256 or ECDSA, it indexed a messy personal archive and patched a btcrecover/blockchain.info-era edge case. That makes the recoverable slice of the 2.3M-3.7M “lost BTC” bucket look less dead than models assume, while handing scammers an obvious new “AI wallet recovery” narrative to weaponize.
