Apple co-founder was defrauded of 7 Bitcoins in an unbelievable way

Wozniak

According to CNBC Beijing time on February 27, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak revealed at the Global Business Summit hosted by India's Economic Times that he was defrauded of seven bitcoins, which are now worth more than $70,000.

"Someone bought these bitcoins from me with a credit card, but they later canceled the credit card payment. It's that simple. It was a stolen credit card number, so there's no way to get it back," Wozniak said.

Wozniak remains a supporter of the virtual currency today, and he initially bought Bitcoins for $700 each, according to The Economic Times.

Last year, the price of Bitcoin increased dozens of times, from less than $1,000 to over $10,000 currently, reaching a high of about $20,000.

“To me, Bitcoin is a currency that is not manipulated by governments. It’s digital, it’s pure, it can’t be changed,” Wozniak said.

It is estimated that Wozniak is worth about $100 million.
