Seems too unsophisticated if you had 4 years to plan it.
Plus, the attacker could have just randomly robbed over time and probably gotten away with it
But now it became a race against the clock thanks to AI.

Could be a state (or corporate) level actor. Quantum computer tech should be able to easily hack Bitcoin encryption.
I have begun to think that it's even more likely that the a customer or two produced a wallet and found it already had coins in it and then moved them.
I think I saw someone say the math on the collisions is one in 1.8 million or so. That's a lot of keys, but considering a lot of people might create several wallets...
