The claim is the block chain is on a computer disconnected from the internet located in a bunker.

Yeah, I'm calling BS on this one.

One of the things that makes bitcoin work is that everyone has a copy of the block chain. Think of it as a public ledger with all the transactions.

If the computer is isolated, it's not exactly public.

IMHO that is...
