Keith McGee is desperately trying to make his new Shiba Inu fortune
NASCAR driver Keith McGee woke up to quite a surprise on Thursday: $181 million worth of Shiba Inu tokens on the balance of his Coinbase account.
In a tweetMcGee claims this money doesn’t belong to him, and now he wants to give it back.
While he is yet to hear back from Coinbase, the 40-year-old racecar driver from Alaska told TobyChristie.com that he would keep trying to right a wrong for “as long as it takes.”
McGee’s persistence in returning his accidental Shiba Inu fortune is undoubtedly commendable, but it’s unclear if he’s actually able to withdraw the money as it could simply be a posting error.
In June, a man from Georgia who goes by the name of Christopher Williamson made headlines after discovering $1.4 trillion in his Coinbase account. His exorbitant wealth came after he invested $ 20 in a questionable token called Rocket Bunny.
However, Williamson was not able to sell his tokens, which he intended to spend on “a megayacht shaped like a penguin.” A few days later, Coinbase explained that it was simply a display error that affected some ERC-20 tokens.
When it comes to Shiba Inu, those who have held Shiba Inu long enough could have already made an actual fortune with the cryptocurrency. An anonymous investor who bought for $ 8,000 last year is now sitting on $ 5.7 billion in what appears to be the fastest growing wealth-building story of all time.
