User regains access to $4 million worth of Bitcoin

He sold 127 BTC through an OTC platform at a price of $33,439 per coin. The commission was 0.15%, and net profit was $4.24 million. Part of the funds will be invested in shares of companies in the S&P 500, and he will continue to ‘live an ordinary life’.
