The transaction you saw couldn't have been an outgoing transaction, only an incoming one from an address with similar characters as yours.

Correct, but a victim could use a wallet that still hasn't implemented such filtering and be tricked to copy an address from their wallet's transaction history. But I think the most popular ones have already introduced some type of measure to not show these types of transactions by default.

Being a product of Blockstream and one of the possible companion apps for the Blockstream Jade, it's weird that they are not prioritizing adding support for SeedQRs. Several other software wallets have it but Green is still lacking in that regard. Not that it would be my first choice if they had it, but I still think it's a feature that would draw some more people to the software. 

Unfortunately, since it's a custodial service and your friend doesn't possess any keys, only the exchange can give your friend his coins back. I don't think it will do it, though.

AgoreDesk is closing down soon and should no longer be recommended to people. It's one of the latest victims in the global fight against privacy-enhancing services. You can't open new accounts any longer and you won't be able to post new trades either. The website shuts down in November.

Don't forget another important piece of the puzzle. Many CEXs are high-value targets for hackers who try to breech their security and obtain money from their hot wallets or user data of their customers. Some CEXs have been hacked in the past and that will continue in the future as well. Such data can be sold on underground forums or simply be posted publicly for everyone to obtain a copy. If your sensitive information is in that leak, that's how anyone can connect you to certain addresses even without the help of blockchain analysis companies or the cooperation of the site.

I haven't checked if they require KYC, but such services do 99% of the time. Being an on-ramp to bitcoin and a bridge between the fiat and crypto worlds, it's only natural that you can't use their platforms and remain anonymous. They comply with whatever regulations their regulating authorities demand from them. So, expect KYC and SOF.

In an interesting turn of events, the scammer decided to return 90% of the stolen coins in the last couple of days. The victim has been in contact with the scammer in the days following the incident. As we can see from the message exchange, the initial owner of the coins promised a 10% bounty if he returned 90%. That's like $6-7 million. Eventually, the scammer gave in, and they discussed terms over Telegram.

The scammer converted the wBTC to ETH, and we can now see over $66 million worth of ETH in the victim's account. It's going to be interesting to see if the owner will keep their promise and not pursue the scammer and try to identify them, depending on how the remaining coins move.

Confusing as in there services are unknown to you? Those are just financial and cryptocurrency service providers that you can buy bitcoin with.

I am guessing this is Onramp > https://onrampbitcoin.com/
It's a custodial service.

This is TransFi > https://www.transfi.com/
It allows you to buy crypto with card payments and different e-wallets. It's a fiat to crypto and vice versa exchange, among other things.

I am sure both require KYC as they deal with fiat payments.

I am not a fan of any digital ways of storing seed phrases and private keys, but if for some reason it has to be done, it's good to know there are some options. I would prioritize a device capable of encrypting the data in its memory and, obviously, there can't be any internet, Bluetooth or other ways to transform data from it. Being open-source isn't that important of a factor if there is no way to connect to the internet with it. And even if it is open-source, I doubt security experts were or will be standing in line in the future to investigate the code of 20 year old Casino calculator or a similar gadget.

They are not going to reveal the information to regular Joe's, but everything is stored on their servers and kept on file. Binance also has a separate platform where law enforcement and government bodies can get in touch with their staff and request any data they need. Blockchain analysis firms surely have access to anything they need as well, and since their business is collecting and monetizing this data, they will share or sell it to interested parties. 

There are multiple ways to look at that. Aqua wallet will not know that John Smith paid his bills in bitcoin. But, of course, if you pay your phone bill with BTC, your service provider will know it's you who used bitcoin to pay the bill. Also, buying bitcoin with your credit card doesn't help you maintain your privacy through this wallet or any other.

Besides Sparrow and Samourai wallets, it's apparently also used by Stack Wallet. Also, Blue Wallet uses it partially, only to receive payments. This is the data I see in The Bitcoin Hole's software wallet reviews.

That's kruw for you. As trustworthy as Harvey Weinstein around Hollywood actresses. He embodies Wasabi's spirit perfectly. We will bend over any way they ask us to. If his handlers decided coinjoins were illegal and considered money laundering, he would start saying that and call everyone out for using them.

And no Kruw, I am not running my own coordinator. I wouldn't touch anything that is connected to you or Wasabi even with a stick.

Less than 10 days ago we had outgoing transactions recorded on an address from satoshi's era. No tags should be put on addresses regardless of how much time passes since the last time they were used. It's my right not to use my bitcoin for a day or a decade if I want without anyone speculating what's wrong with me, am I still alive, have I lost the keys, etc. I have even seen suggestions of removing coins from old addresses and somehow putting them back into circulation. That's ridiculous. It's stealing and it's no longer bitcoin but a centrally controlled lookalike.   

Perhaps he was trying to say that a person could sign a message using Address B in which they say that their coins in Address A are lost. But even that is wrong, as it now becomes a thing of trust. Anyone can make such claims, and you still can't prove it's real. You can either trust that the signed message is true or not.

That's different from what OP is describing. I understand what you are saying, though.

Bitcoin doesn't have a definition of dormant accounts or addresses. It's a subjective thing. Online casinos and online payment services in general, invented the notion of "dormant accounts" to make you pay for not using their services more regularly. As a "punishment", they will charge you a monthly fee unless you become active again. And they will keep charging your account until the balance goes to 0 if you don't do something about it.

It could be very dangerous to rely solely on CoinMarketCap. Sure, it's the most popular platform in that line of business, but its popularity also makes it a prime target of hackers. They wouldn't have to deface the site. All they would have to do is replace some genuine links with their own fake phishing sites. If you only rely on CoinMarketCap to direct you to other websites, you might find yourself in problems if something like that happened.

None, until you learn to do it right. You should at least try to narrow down what went wrong with your Ledger wallet and what resulted in you losing the coins you stored there. Ledger is no longer a recommended hardware wallet, but for other reasons that have nothing to do with this case of yours. No hardware wallet will help you if you have no idea what you are doing or how to protect yourself online.

But if you want to buy a different one, tell us how much you would like to invest in one? Some hardware wallets cost under $100, others more than $200. How much are you looking to spend on one?

A hot software wallet will never be as safe as a good hardware wallet. Electrum in a cold storage environment is excellent, but using it as a hot wallet puts your keys online at all times. If you do that, you should at least have it installed on a computer you don't use for anything else.

They should always be secure regardless of your health situation. If people can get hold of your keys when you are gone for a while then you haven't secured them enough or you have surrounded yourself with the wrong people.

Did anyone know your PIN or your seed or the locations of where to find one or the other?
Who else has access to your computer you used to connect your Ledger wallet to?
Did you ever enter your seed somewhere online or store it in a digital medium?

The timeline of the transactions is unusual. Your dogecoin was transferred out on 4 Jan. Then, the thief took a break until the next morning when the Litecoin was moved. They then took another break of 6 hours before moving some more coins. It's very weird. Normally, a thief would look to take everything at once. But here, more than 24 hours passed between the first and last transaction that is visible on the screenshot.

Vjerovatno si upoznat sa uslugom koju AlexPCS nudi već nekoliko godna na forumu. Anonimne debitne kartice preko kojih možeš trošiti kriptovalute. Ali usluga je relativno skupa i radi sa ruskim i bjeloruskim bankama. Ne znam kakva je sad tu situacija s tim karticama u EU. Vidim sad u njegovoj temi da nudi i kartice od EU banaka.

Šta je to novo što su ameri promjenili pa utiče na virtualne kartice?

The Bitcointalk forum has got nothing to do with it. In fact, we are seeing a drop in activity on Bitcointalk year after year while bitcoin's value is increasing. More people are leaving than coming. And many who come, ran across Bitcointalk by accident when they were looking for solutions to a Bitcoin-related problem. It's not entirely the forum's fault. The new generations aren't fans of the forum culture. They prefer other and faster ways of sharing information.

Resolved or Unsolved? Only the player can inform the community about the nature of the case. All we can do is speculate. The player last posted on 6 May. They were online 2 days ago, but didn't post anything. Unless they break silence soon, it's pretty self-explanatory that this is finished.
