Think I read about that. The guy had it on his ledger from years ago, he got a pop up saying to update the wallet, after he updated it it immediately started a withdraw to the scammer. He was running an old version of the wallet. Might have gotten some details here wrong.

Is this /b/? How is that funny?

>Is this /b/? How is that funny?

>>22045096
How did that happen, didn't he update through the ledger live app

Need more info on this for sure, wonder if it's just a claim to avoid taxes or something

Was a bug in Electrum, the most trusted and community-loved BTC wallet.

Switch to Blockstream Green

>>22045096
I think it was an old electrum wallet.

>>22045052
Fucking kek

>>22045096
He downloaded an old version of electrum wallet that had a vulnerability that allowed nodes to send an error message to the user in plaintext. This fake error message sent by a malicious node directed the user to a fake electrum wallet download that stole his money as soon as he sent funds to that fake wallet.

All in all this is probably tax evasion. Who the fuck sends 16M$ to an old version of electrum wallet without testing a tx and for no discernible purpose? Why all the sudden did he want to switch to an old wallet? If he was trying to cashout why not send from his current wallet to exchange? Why no test tx before you send 16M? Its possible its real but damn its stupid and unbelievable if so

Thank you for paying it forward sirs

>Shit UI
>Wont let you use it without a PIN
Imma stick with the Bitcoin.com wallet

Good, I fucking hate BTC pieces of shit
Hope he's self-roped by the time I hit Submit

>>22045052
This shits fucked. Holding crypto is not safe. I remember my Mew was broken into and only my small amount of eth was stolen but my large stack of Enjin was left untouched. My friend who works in computer science explained that it must have been a program that was installed on my computer that would send eth from MEW to that wallet. I can still use that wallet on other computers just not my old laptop. You might as well just leave your crypto on an exchange and enable 2fa.

>>22045052
What a fucking retard.

>>22045234
Bitcoin.com wallet literally sends your seed phrase to its servers. You cannot generate an offline wallet with bitcoin.com it has to be connected. You are a literal retard and will lose everything. Roger Ver and his crew are slimy as fuck

Would rope, no hesitation.

>>22045235
Don’t be a cunt.

>>22045235
not even close to any POW went into any shitcoin as btc, hate all you want but btc will always be king

>>22045242
Hardware wallet you clown. Just not ledger unless you want them to advertise to criminals that you own crypto and torturing you might make them rich

>>22045242
why would anyone
1. hold their whole stack in 1 wallet instead of splitting between different wallets and maybe even leaving some on a 2FA exchange as you said
2. with 50-100K+ not invest in a $150 laptop and use offline cold storage for most of their stack
is beyond me. too careless with money

>>22045492
>buy hardware wallet from manufacturer: get your info leaked and your kneecap drilled..
>buy hardware wallet second hand: get your device with free malware and your crypto stolen...
excellent choices.

Ledger and trezor have sold millions of devices. It is beyond paranoid to think that criminal gangs are going to kidnap and torture everybody who bought a ledger to store their 700$ in shitcoins

>>22045379
why does that matter, who gives a fuck about that lol?

>>22045637
i was just thinking why not order it to your neighbors address and snag the packet when it arrives?

>>22045052
Ez tax evasion.

>>22045052
Fuck I laughed hard at first but this made me sad, I seriously pray that he's merely pretending for tax evasion purposes. Not too long ago I made a thread here actually, asking if it would be a good idea to publicly announce on social media that your assets got stolen while you used mixers and stuff

I hope this doesn't cause everything to dump, I just borrowed USDC against LEND on AAVE...

>>22045052
imagine keeping 16m on one wallet, he deserved that

Just dash out of the front door like a rabid dog and intercept the postman on his way to the neighbors whenever you see their car arrive at your street

>>22045379
King Shitcoin

imagine using electron to move 16M
imagine not being so fucking paranoid to use a clean Linux distro iso without known malicious packages and latest btc core with sha1 validation

>>22045885
>s-sorry IRS I got hacked
lmao

How does the scammer withdraw it without getting busted?

>>22045052
btc unironically will be $1m/coin at some point

>>22046342
Wrong

>>22045946
Risk would be that your BTC addresses and those of the made up scammer would be blacklisted and your BTC basically useless.

Only way it is to fake the scammers withdrawing into XMR.

>>22045097

we all came from /b/ years and years ago

literally imagine not having your btc and eth wallets as an illegible scribble in a dirty notebook people are afraid to open

imagine not holding at least 1 btc for eternity
the upside is much greater than the downside

>>22045197
The receiving address was identified as a scam wallet though

I feel bad for the guy man he told me he was going to buy link with those BTC, but oh man fuck him he had 3 years

>>22045885
to a known malware address?
he dodged the taxman alright

>>22046472
I came from /an/

This is why you only keep your full crypto net worth on an uninsured Chinese exchange like all Chads do

Imagine losing 16 million dollars. Guaranteed he killed himself
