Controversial figure Alex Jones, who was once dubbed America’s leading conspiracy theorist, claims to have lost a laptop containing 10,000 Bitcoin. Following Bitcoin’s renaissance this week, that would equate to a value of $560mn at today’s price.
Speaking on the Flagrant 2 podcast, when the host broached the topic of crypto, Jones initially feigned ignorance. But then immediately enticed the audience by saying, “do you want the secrets?”
In answering the calls for yes, he responds by claiming, “Bitcoin is totally controlled.” Jones continues by bringing RT host Max Keiser into the story. Adding it was Keiser who gave him the laptop containing the 10,000 Bitcoin.
“I’m at Bilderberg, north of London, wherever that town was ten years ago, and Max Keiser comes up to me and said I have 10,000 Bitcoins for you. This is the future, it’ll be the new global currency…”
However, other than saying, “I lost the laptop,” he gave no further details on the events surrounding the loss of the laptop.
