The subpoena asked for first and last names, GitHub usernames, and email addresses of viewers with the stated purpose of investigating Dashjr's allegations. Schmidt, guided by legal counsel, complied with the request, although he added a confidentiality clause that expired a year before the disclosure.

Brink's co-founder blamed Dashjr for failing to protect his own bitcoin holdings. By publicly disclosing his Bitcoin theft, Dashjar unwittingly exposed conference attendees to an FBI investigation, resulting in their personal information being revealed to authorities.

“The guy who wants to tell you how to use Bitcoin can't even protect his own Bitcoin and because of that he got everyone at the FBI meeting. Good job Luke!

Dashjir revealed that the money was stolen by the Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) key agreement on December 31, 2022. Developed by Phil Zimmermann in 1991, PGP is a data encryption and encryption program that provides data encryption confidentiality and authentication for data communications. And it is generally used for e-mails, and digital signatures, as well as file encryption.
