He has a lot of ground to make up and, at minimum wage, roughly ... hours of honest work ahead of him. Employers: he is available immediately. He is very available.

INCIDENT_REPORT

ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS

The coins were never stolen. They were never sold. They are still sitting on the blockchain right now, fully visible and permanently unspendable, because the password went down with the hardware.

T+0Funds acquired and moved into a local wallet. Roughly $1,000 at the time.
T+1Wallet password stored on the same drive as the wallet. Single point of failure established.
T+2No offline backup. No seed phrase on paper. No second copy anywhere.
T+3DRIVE FAILURE. Wallet and password destroyed in the same instant.
T+4Coins remain on-chain, balance intact, keys gone. The money is visible forever and reachable never.

STATUS: UNRECOVERABLE. The blockchain is working exactly as designed. It is the backup strategy that failed.

THE REAL COST

Losing the money was only step one. The true catastrophe is every dollar that money would have earned had Iaying not set it on fire. This is the opportunity cost: compounding, live, forever.

is what that money becomes by retirement at historical S&P 500 returns.

Assumed nominal annual returns: High-Yield Savings 4.5% / US Treasuries 4.0% / S&P 500 10.5% / Nasdaq-100 13.0%. Compounded annually. Not financial advice. Unlike Iaying's decisions, this is just math.

40-YEAR REGRET PROJECTION

The gap between the two lines is the opportunity cost. It only gets wider.

SPEND THE MONEY HE WILL NEVER HAVE

Numbers are abstract. Shopping is not. Pick a timeline, then try to spend the entire balance he would have had. Good luck emptying the 40-year cart.
