🚬 Investbank Salomon Brothers claimed rights to "abandoned" Bitcoin wallets by sending notifications via OP_RETURN in the blockchain.
The basis is the doctrine of abandonment: if funds have not moved for 14 years, they can be considered ownerless. Owners were given 90 days to confirm their rights — either by transfer or through the bank's website.
The initiative has sparked controversy: it could create a dangerous precedent, legitimizing claims on others' assets.
It remains unclear how the bank plans to access the funds if the owners do not respond.
