In August 2010, Bitcoin’s source code was exploited by someone who to this day remains anonymous. Enter block 74,638, the fateful block that created 184,467,440,737.09551616 Bitcoin, with two addresses receiving just over 92 billion Bitcoin each—92,233,720,368, to be specific.

The bug was found and patched within 5 hours, and the faulty BTC removed.

It's actually quite amusing to know that in one point in time the person with the most bitcoin wasn't Satoshi, but some random hacker dude.

For fun, at $64k apiece, the hacker would have a worth of $5 quadrillion worth of bitcoin.
