“I opened up the browser to see if the laptop would work and it automatically opened up to a site I had never heard of before, weeklycoins.com. Looking back, I guess it must have been fate,” he said, “I decided to check out the site and was pretty intrigued by what I saw.”
Warner stated that while he had heard people mention cryptocurrencies in passing, he never really entertained the idea of investing and trading. The professor decided to try his luck and invested $1,400.
His investment turned into a $4.8 million profit. He claims it was the best decision he ever made.

“I’m still in shock that this random discovery led me to such a huge jackpot. I never would have imagined it!” He exclaimed.
Warner’s unusual predicament has allowed him to make some pretty changes in his personal life.
“I love teaching so I don’t think I’ll be retiring anytime soon but I do plan on purchasing a new home…maybe a boat too? I’ll definitely be investing some more,” Warner stated enthusiastically.
He added: “The entire situation feels heaven-sent and I’m grateful for it.”
