What the dumbest way that anyone has gotten rich from crypto?

With all of the bad news at the moment and the failure of a project which many considered to be technically sound, I thought it might be a good moment to reflect on better times and shake our heads with jealous dismay.

What’s the luckiest, most thoughtless, idiotic story of self enrichment you’ve heard from this community? Some guy who bought at the top on a blatant rug pull, but only because he had an emergency and needed to pull the money out? A uni student in 2011 who used Bitcoin to buy drugs and forgot all about her wallet until 2021? Someone who bought a picture of a dog (or a jpeg of an ape) and rode it to the moon?

No memorable story? No problem. Just make something up, and we can decide if it’s bullshit or true.
