Bitcoin Forum

Maybe the title sounds stupid and i don't know if this is the right section to post this in. ( if not, mod's please move )

I’ve been thinking about all the ways you could have found the necessary passwords to get into my computer and actually be using it overnight. None of them too easy. You put some pieces together in a pretty clever way and worked around my many accounts with 2fa. You maybe even had privileged access to something in order to get my credentials including multiple passwords. Or maybe I was just galactically stupid and it wasn’t that hard afterall. Anyway. Wow.. Seriously, Kudos.

Funny story: you would have had more time browsing my computer & email (I saw you searched my gmail for “bitcoin”) before I killed the connection if you woudn’t have accidentally un-paused the TV episode my wife had paused before we went to bed. We heard the noise of a show across the house and got up. You had already gotten my wallet backup file though, you were quick, but I suppose you would have found much more given time.

The funds were comprised of wedding gifts and a not-insignificant portion of my salary invested over the past year.. and some hobbyist mining. This one really hurts.. like I got punched in the gut and betrayed by a friend.

To be sure you have the right person: Here are the 2 tx’s where you emptied my wallet

Here’s a signature of the title of this reddit post from one address from that wallet: 12V4dq4Y3sMk1WUmQSuiCA5wK8RPWAwMw7

Thank you so much.. AND. Thank you for the life lessons. They are well learned.

Sincerely,

Well, you know who I am..

Sad story, i am sorry to hear that. i'm pretty sure your coin wasn't belong to you anymore, he/she will never give them back.

beggar

nothing but a fake post to plead a scam so schmucks can throw them some coin

It's not a fake post dude..

If I'm reading it right it looks like the coins ended up at an address that has been reported in multiple scams here.

This address has been mentioned in at least 2 scam accusations:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=744692.0

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=791367.40

I think this is real, the bitcoin address that he posted is the bitcoin address that send the 35btc.

Those are enormous amounts of bitcoin.

49 btc stolen... adding up from both wallets together.

I`m sorry to hear this loss, regardless if its fake or not. Have linked your other scam accusation thread here? I dont see see besides the balances that were supposedly stolen for you..

Sorry for your loss. Have you taken the necessary steps to remove malware from your computer?

yes i formatted my whole computer , but now it's to late i think  :-\

That's a lot of BTC, i don't think so the hacker will return your BTC sorry for your loss  :-\

had you opened any unknown/suspicious program before your pc was compromised?

I didn't but maybe my wife did this feels so painfull :(

Take this opportunity to explore life beyond the material plane.  While the hacker may have accumulated more greed to feed his ego, you're given the opportunity to learn from this experience and detach from worldly possessions, which is endlessly more rewarding.  Money cant buy peace.

That's true but without money you can't buy things and you need some things to have some fun in life.

Not that it matter much... but the message and signature you state fails verification.

If you are the hacker who hacked my bitcoin please give them back.

And try with this title:


If you are the hacker who was using my computer the night before last and took approx 50 of my Bitcoins: nice work, seriously. Can you please return them? They were a combination of wedding gifts and years of saving. (info inside)

Dude, if true that sucks.  Word of advice if you decide to go down the BTC path again.  Cold storage that shit.  That's a lot of BTC to keep on a computer. 

I am sorry bro .

Message confirmed.

Paper wallets can never be hacked ;) You chose easy of use over security.

This is a painful lesson. 50 bitcoin is a large sum of money and leaving that in a wallet on a computer left on overnight is not something I would do. I hope OP get over this soon.

not sure if you are a troll or not but no hacker with a working brain would give the money back to the victim. learn to install antivirus and have better security on your computer.

i know i am stupid people :(

That sucks braugh.  That's a lot of BTC.  Holy shit man.

I read this story on reddit also. Sorry this happened to you.

I hope the thief can be human and return them to you.

Id approach the theif, to reward him.

Like providing 10 btc out of the 50. or something as a hard lesson, and giving him a mind fuk.

Sorry for your loss dude, sure you can try to do a bargain but i don't think he's gonna return again.

why do you sign your name at the end of your posts?

just curious wheres your reddit link? everyone seems to find it, but im having trouble to read this full story.

it's on /r/bitcoin

I got a few donations thanks people!

Seriously.. You kept 49btc in a hot wallet. What did you expect.

And you are funny

sad life
