Pretty big gamble. He still has to find it and the code has to be recoverable.
- I think this is a gamble type thing. No win, no fee investors, but they'll make a killing if it pays off.
  
  I imagine if he actually did find the drive and recovered it, the crypto bros would put a hit out on him to avoid him tanking the value by selling it.
  
  Doubt it, and he'd not want to tank the value for himself, so he'd likely go for a slow, steady sale.
- It probably will be sitting at the bottom
