This is 100% real.

Nunchuk Bitcoin's posted this on their twitter page ( link ). The only two actions that can counter bitcoin at this point are turning of the internet and military grade code breaking. I doubt the Canadian Courts are capable of dealing with either of those options.

...and military grade code breaking...

It's not a code, it's a long and complex key. There are as many possible keys as there are atoms in the universe, roughly. And you can only make a limited number of guesses per second because blockchain is computationally slow. And if after a few trillion years you happened across the keys to "a" active wallet, the odds are one in a billion it would be the wallet you're trying to seize.

The magic of the Internet brings us a website listing every possible key. Not containing every key, because that would be physically impossible even if you stored digital data at the atomic level, because you would run out of atoms in the universe before you could store all the keys digitally.

Notice how there is latency in populating the blockchain data in the leftmost columns.
