Someone wrote a fake EULA into Bitcoin. Two hours later they revoked it.
A fake End User License Agreement (EULA) was inscribed into a Bitcoin transaction, claiming to grant federal law enforcement unrestricted access to personal property. Two hours later, the author revoked the statement in a follow-up transaction.

- ▪Both inscriptions remain permanently recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain.
