Romke Jan Bernhard Sloot (27 August 1945, Groningen – 11 July 1999[1], Nieuwegein) was a Dutch electronics engineer[2], who in 1995 claimed to have developed a revolutionary data compression technique, the Sloot Digital Coding System, which could compress a complete movie down to 8 kilobytes of data — this is orders of magnitude greater compression than the best currently available technology in the 2010s. He died suddenly on July 11, 1999 of a heart attack, just days before the conclusion of a contract to sell the invention. The full source code was never recovered, and the technique and claim has since never been reproduced or verified.
