3 Of The Top 5 Crypto Rich List Lost Forever
Arkham took to X (formerly Twitter) to the top 10 richest individuals in crypto ranked by the net worth of their wallet holdings. But the most interesting bits actually lay in the list of the top 5 richest individuals, which included the likes of Tron’s Justin Sun and Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin.
According to the by Arkham, Justin Sun emerged at the top of the list with a wallet balance of $1.1 billion, followed by Rain Lohmus, the Chairman of LHV Bank, whose wallet is worth $793 million. Next in line is Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, with a wallet balance of $782 million.
As Arkham notes in its report, two out of these five individuals are no longer able to access their wallets anymore. The first of these two is . Lohmus’s allocation came out to 250,000 ETH, which has appreciated greatly over time. However, he can no longer access the coins.
According to Lohmus, he had lost access to his Ethereum wallet and was unable to find the key to the wallet. Given this, the coins are presumed to be lost forever, but Lohmus has offered a 50-50 split to anyone who can access the wallet and recover the funds.
The other three on the list still have access to their wallets and are still involved in the crypto space to varying degrees.
