 An estimated $280 million worth of the cryptocurrency ethereum is currently locked up thanks to one person's mistake. 
 An unidentified user accidentally locked up all of the recently-created digital wallets within Parity — a popular digital wallet provider — by deleting the code library required to use those wallets, according to a critical security alert posted to Parity Technology's blog on Tuesday.  
The freeze impacts all "multi-sig" wallets created on Parity after July 20.
