One of the wildest OOPS moments in crypto Back in 2017, Parity wallets were all connected to one shared smart contract Problem is the contract was never initialized properly random user accidentally became the owner, triggered a kill function, and permanently destroyed the contract 💀 Over 500,000 ETH instantly locked forever If we saw that in terms of today’s prices, that’s more than $1.1B frozen in time Craziest part is after realizing what happened, he simply wrote “I accidentally killed it.” Lmfao this was very painful(Justin Wu)
