TechFlow news, October 29 — According to CoinDesk, Georgian billionaire and former leader Bidzina Ivanishvili rejected a $50 million Bitcoin mining investment ten years ago, missing an opportunity now potentially worth up to $21 billion. As his personal wealth has declined (currently estimated at around $2.7 billion), Ivanishvili is taking extreme measures to recover the Bitcoin he claims was "stolen." He accuses his former financial advisor, Bachia Shavliashvili, of using loans obtained from his bank to mine 24,000 Bitcoins and refusing to share them. Shavliashvili was abducted in Abu Dhabi in May and forcibly returned to Georgia, where he is currently serving an 11-year prison sentence.
