On January 10, 2026 at around 11 pm UTC a victim lost $282M+ worth of LTC & BTC due to a hardware wallet social engineering scam.
The attacker began converting the stolen LTC & BTC to Monero via multiple instant exchanges causing the XMR price to sharply increase.
BTC was also bridged to Ethereum, Ripple, & Litecoin via Thorchain.
Theft addresses (2.05M LTC, 1459 BTC):

@ErnieBrownII That's the David Whitney Building and it's actually not a project own or developed by Dan Gilbert and Bedrock. The building was designed by Daniel Burnham who is one of the forefathers of the skyscraper.

You beat me to Heinz Lofts! We completed the 267-unit adaptive reuse of five former Heinz factory buildings along the Allegheny River in November 2005. From our initial walkthrough, we recognized the project’s feasibility. Critically, we identified the opportunity to convert part of the structure into an integrated parking garage — a rare and valuable solution in historic redevelopment. While many industrial buildings have floor load capacities sufficient for vehicle parking, they’re often inefficient to convert due to irregular column spacing or challenging floor plates. At Heinz, the structural grid and column spacing allowed for optimal stall layout, and the uniform floor plates facilitated efficient ramping.

Literally my dad (but in 1982)
Despite the immaculate vibes, Pittsburgh was not doing well. Unemployment in Pittsburgh was 17%, almost the worst ever in history for a major city (only the pandemic and Detroit in 2009 were worse)
There were no jobs. A generation of young people left. Though my parents loved Pittsburgh, we had to leave too (but were able to come back a few years later).
The comeback has been great though. Pittsburgh is the rare example of a post-industrial city that actually diversified successfully.
From that 17% in 1983, Pittsburgh's unemployment is now 3.5%, among the lowest in the country.
A lot the transformation has been driven by Pitt and CMU. There are 7 unicorns (more than Miami!), 5 of them are AI companies (Skild AI, Abridge, Stack AV, Gecko Robotics, Aurora). Old factories that were vacant for decades have literally became robotics labs and Google offices.
The photos below:
LTV Coke works, formerly employing 12,000 people, now housing CMU robotics labs
An old Ford factory that made Model T's, now a cancer research center.
A small part of a steel mill where they serviced train engines (remember those things were vertically integrated), now a coworking space
Lots of cool adaptive reuse in Pittsburgh for people who love that sort of thing (like me!) - check it out!
