Lost BTC
Interesting situation just happened,my mobile has been turned off today and an old friend knocked on my door whom i havent seen in a few years, back in 2018 I had helped him set up an exodus wallet and he bought about 17K of crypto.
I invited him in as he had told me his BTC had gone from his wallet, he then got his laptop from the car and his wife came in with him, he logged on to my wifi opened his wallet and sure enough nearly 2 BTC had been taken in 2024 as I closed some of the tabs he had open i came across a piece of paper that he had hand written his seed phrases on, obviously to say I was shocked was an understatement.
I then asked him if he had ever had a virus on his laptop to which he replied yes several times and then went on to tell me he had taken his laptop in to a few high street computer shops to have this fixed, I can only imagine how shocked whom ever took his crypto that his seed phrase was in a folder on his desktop!!!!!!
I just wanted to relay that there are some very naive people still out there, I am absolutely gutted for him but reminded him that all he has really lost is the initial investment of 17k, I think this gave him a modicum of comfort but I can only imagine the grief his wife gave him when he left mine.
Hopefully the scumbag that took his crypto gets what they deserve cut talk about a schoolboy error!
