The Sloot Digital Coding System
Source
In the 1990s, an electronics technician named Romke Jan Berhnard Sloot (27 August 1945, Groningen - 11 July 1999, Nieuwegein) announced the development of a digital coding system called Sloot for data transmission that could reduce a screen length movie to a size of only 8 KB.
Greater Compression
The decoding algorithm was 370MB and Sloot proved it to Philips executives by playing 16 movies at the same time from a chip with a capacity of 64KB. After gaining the support of a group of investors, he mysteriously dies on September 11, 1999.
It's real or just a story.
The Sloot Digital Coding System
Jan Sloot & Roel Pieper
He died one day before an attractive deal was signed with Roel Pieper worth millions of a heart attack. He devised a revolutionary method to put hundreds of movies on a 64 kb chip. Vice President Roel Pieper had seen the algorithm working and joined the inventor. Many investors were queuing to join the so-called invention of the century. The Sloot Digital Coding System. A day before he finally reveals the functioning of his system and died of a heart attack in the garden of his house Nieuwegein. With the death of the inventor, the large planes of the executive, vice president of Philips, Pieper ended his employment at Philips with a severance package of undisclosed value.
However, Jan Sloot took the secret to the grave. The reason is that Sloot was so distrustful and paranoid that nobody had explained the functioning of his system for fear that someone would steal his invention.
We are facing an event of biblical magnitude since it would have made obsolete many of the existing technologies on that timeline, it would have catapulted us to a new era powerful enough to sidecast all digital storage devices, you can imagine, all the movies in the world contained into Smartphones or any storage devices.

We all know who killed him, we should only point out who would lose millions of dollars in investments and storage-based products if "The digital coding system Sloot came out".
We are architects of our own ignorance.
Jan Sloot himself had claimed "The end of the digital era".
