Salomon’s brother says the process of notifying the “abandoned” crypto wallet has been completed

The resurrected Salomon Brothers announced on Thursday that they have completed the process of inserting an op_return notification into Bitcoin

The wallet was supposed to have been abandoned.

According to a press release shared with Coindesk, the New York-based investment bank has sent out notifications to prevent “criminal organisations with fraudulent states and criminal organizations with critical resources” from the possibility that they will access these wallets in the future.

The process itself led to a wealth of debate with speculation suggesting that the Salomon brothers had connections with people like Craig Wright.

“[They]use Bitcoin’s own infrastructure as a message board,” David Carvalho, CEO of Naoris Protocol, told Coindesk. “It’s very smart. And they’re targeting some infamous wallets, like the ‘1Feex’ address, which is getting bigger and holds around 80,000 BTC. ”

According to the Salomon Brothers website, assets that have been touched for 14 years may be considered legally abandoned under the “doctrine of abandonment,” and therefore the front door remains open in terms of foreclosure.

How to gain access to these wallets remains unknown, Carvalho told Coindesk that the Bitcoin community “is not doing what it has to do” to prevent methods like Quantum Hacking.

“The draft of the BIP proposal is completely insufficient and it takes the time to achieve consensus on a hard fork.

Salomon Brothers said the client, who remains anonymous, will allocate some of the recovered Bitcoin to a fund aimed at owners of wallets that have lost their keys.

Notices sent to the wallet holder give you a 90-day deadline, within which you can “claim” your wallet “ownership” by submitting a transaction on the Salomon Brothers website or filling out a form.

The press release states that “some owners responded to notifications by moving their digital assets to a new wallet.”
