Unfortunate choice of words for the first post. While he meant he decrypted the mnemonic file (with which he then recovered the wallet), the otherwise happy news were interpreted by some portals as "Bitcoin has been Cracked!!!111!!!"...
I made my part and clarified the issue on at least one argentinian financing X account (https://x.com/LisandroIaffar/status/2054672800569323606).
Anyways, brace yourselves for another wave of FUD...
Who knows, this guy can just be fucking with us. A long con for notoriety. But I'll take the cheaper sats.
Honestly a part of me hopes this indeed causes FUD for this same reason😅
Wow, the comments seem to show a lot of ignorance about what actually happened.
Sad thing is that most of the public of such posts is people already "acquainted" with bitcoin. What's left for the nocoiners?...
On the other hand, the OP couldn't have chosen a worse wording...
his tweets were honestly kinda hard to understand... even using the word "pneumonic" instead of "mnemonic"
LOL yes I laughed at that. Checks out with the guy's personality. Won't be surprised if he loses the wallet back again in the same way :P
Here comes a loyal member of a AI company marketing team.
You really think an AI chat just actually cracked a wallet? Cracking a password is possible, but not a Bitcoin wallet.
And that's exactly what happened and what didn't happen, respectively.
Bullshit.
This is no bullshit. Did you read everything?

Tweet wording: he had an encrypted mnemonic backup and used Claude to decrypt the file locally. Standard AES, not any BIP39 weakness.
The real story here isn't the AI-it's that someone kept enough documentation to make recovery possible at all. Most wallet loss isn't a technology failure, it's a record-keeping failure that happened years earlier. Claude just helped connect the dots that were still there. The lesson is probably: what would a future version of you need to find this?
