Bloomberg TV anchor Matt Miller gave two colleagues, Adam Johnson and Trish Regan, $20 in digital currency in a “12 Days of Bitcoin” segment.
But Johnson unwittingly displayed the digital QR code for his money to the camera, and a viewer was able to use the private key to take his Bitcoin.
Reddit user milkywaymasta said he used his smart phone to scan the QR code that was displayed in high definition for about 10 seconds, allowing him to take the money.

What's to stop dozens or thousands of other guys from making up their own currencies?
Indeed, they already are.

Looks like some old cow-orkers in Calabasas just cashed in. An overnight success that took about 15 years.
