Thank you for the advice about signing a message to verify my ownership. However, as khaled0111 pointed out, the intent of my post was not to ask for donations or mislead anyone, but to understand what happened and seek help. That said, in an effort to address any lingering doubts, I have followed the advice and signed a message which you can find here: https://etherscan.io/verifySig/22663.

I'm well aware of the various scams circulating and want to reassure everyone that I'm approaching this with a high degree of caution.

I sincerely appreciate the support and guidance from this community during this incredibly stressful and challenging time

I don't know how to prove that I own that wallet or that I lost the funds. However I did receive a voicemail from law enforcement today, I am certain I will be speaking with them tomorrow. So not sure how much more I should share. However I'd be glad to prove it's my wallet.

I began using Rewind quite early on but my wallet is much older, and it's been a real lifesaver on numerous occasions, helping me recall things I'd forgotten or needed to retrace my steps on. While the article you've linked to does cover both the pros and cons of Rewind AI, the fact that all the data is stored locally mitigates my concerns.

As for my partner, we maintain a high level of transparency and are both keenly aware of crypto-related issues. We share everything, so there's no conceivable motive for him to engage in such behavior.

Certainly, the scenario you described is indeed puzzling. I agree that if a malicious actor had gained control of my private key or seed phrase, we would expect them to act more opportunistically. The presence of 12 Ethereum (~$35K as of my case) sat in my wallet untouched for almost 18 hours, I was withdrawing from that amount so it is highly unusual if a hacker had control over my wallet that they wouldn't touch those funds.

The sequence of events is indeed perplexing. The malicious activity started almost synchronously with the deposit of the larger sum of 111 Ethereum that I won from Bitcasino. Within minutes of this deposit, I successfully managed to transfer 26 Ethereum to my Kraken account. Only after this transaction, the unauthorized transfer of the remaining funds began.

The hacker's hesitation and the delayed reaction seem counterintuitive if we're dealing with a classic case of private key compromise. It doesn't make sense why they left a significant amount untouched in the wallet for so long, and why they waited until after a large deposit and a subsequent withdrawal by me before they moved the funds.

One potential explanation is a triggered event or condition - possibly a smart contract interaction or some other automated mechanism that was set to activate upon the receipt of a large deposit. I mentioned in my previous responses about a smart contract transaction that occurred immediately after the 111 Ethereum deposit. While the connection is uncertain, it's a point of interest that could potentially explain the odd timing.

Of course, these are all speculations based on the peculiar circumstances surrounding this incident. The reality may be different, and a thorough investigation is underway to get to the bottom of it.

It's indeed a perplexing situation, and I appreciate your interest in understanding this unusual case. I'll continue to update as I make progress with my investigations and hopefully provide some clarity in due time.

It's literally driving me crazy.

This is the first Web3 App I have used in a very long time, and I used connected to it on July 21st for the 1st time. I reached out to them directly to let them know but they blew me off. The only person that has access to my devices is my long time partner who lives with me.

It was an unforeseen windfall from a game, and thus nobody could have known about it beforehand, including myself.


Yes, the address is correct. I received 111 ETH from Bitcasino.io. I managed to transfer 28 ETH to a contract address (Kraken), and then the remaining 88 ETH was maliciously taken. The involvement of a smart contract is indeed peculiar, and if anyone has insights into this, I'd be grateful to hear them.


About my wallet safety: I've been vigilant with my wallet, private keys, and funds. With 'Rewind' on my MacBook, I've been able to track all actions. The only notable event was connecting to MetaWin Dapp via Metamask. My private key or secret seed phrase was not stored on my device, adding to the mystification of this event.

What makes this situation even stranger: I had earlier withdrawn 12 ETH, which remained untouched, yet 88 ETH was swiped suddenly after I sent 28 ETH to Kraken. Moreover, the hacker took the minuscule MATIC I had, followed by a confusing sequence of events involving ACS on the Solana chain. The entire series of transactions has left me bewildered.

Why I don't think it's a sweeper bot: I've even tested depositing a small amount of ETH (as suggested on Reddit), and none of that was taken.

The lingering questions: I'm grappling with how this could have happened. The fact that the funds haven't been moved from the thiefs address and that 12 ETH was left untouched nearly all day that day has me questioning my sanity.

I appreciate everyone's understanding and continued assistance. If anyone has insights into this matter, I would greatly value your input.

Best Regards,

Listen up. I messed up. Seriously. My negligence ended up costing me $165k in Ethereum, and a bit of MATIC. Here's what happened.

Earlier today, I had a significant deposit of ETH enter my digital wallet. Barely 8 minutes later, it was gone. The transaction ID? 0x094f01f9174845200e6324bf18a242e0b19ce7f058a4cb928144d22df8313bcc. Destination? A new wallet, 0x4b9e0ddabad6dff604db3d827f5fa7e1c6952aa8.

I know what you're thinking. "Should've used a hard wallet." And you're correct. I have a Ledger, and it was sitting unused while my ETH was taken. Worth noting, I had about $7k in my wallet all day, untouched. But as soon as the large deposit came in, it was swiped. Clearly, it was a targeted operation.

I'm not avoiding blame here. I failed. Despite being cautious, I wasn't vigilant enough. I'm reeling from it.

So, here's my request: If anyone knows advanced methods to trace this wallet or the transaction, beyond just setting alerts, I'd be grateful for the help. I'm clinging to the slim hope that I might retrieve my lost funds.

To everyone else: learn from my mistake. If you've got substantial crypto, move it to your hard wallet immediately. Don't let overconfidence or negligence jeopardize your assets. It can happen to anyone, myself being a stark case in point.

TL;DR: I lost $165k in ETH from my wallet moments after it was deposited. It went to a new wallet (0x4b9e0ddabad6dff604db3d827f5fa7e1c6952aa8). I didn't use my Ledger, and that's a decision I'm paying for dearly. If you can help trace the transaction or the wallet, please share your advice. Keep your crypto assets secure, folks. It's a hard lesson I've learned firsthand.

Look, no sugar-coating here. I screwed up, royally. My blunder cost me $165k in Ethereum and some MATIC. Here's the grim play-by-play.

Earlier today, a hefty chunk of ETH rolled into my digital wallet. Before the dust settled, it was gone. Swiped. We're talking transaction ID 0x094f01f9174845200e6324bf18a242e0b19ce7f058a4cb928144d22df8313bcc and the culprits' hideout at 0x4b9e0ddabad6dff604db3d827f5fa7e1c6952aa8.

Yeah, I can already hear you. "Why not a hard wallet?" Spot on. My Ledger sat there, idle, while my ETH went walkabout. Just to add salt to the wound, $7k lounged in my wallet all day without a hitch. The big deposit arrives and - BAM - it's in some scumbag's pocket. Feels like a targeted strike.

I'm not playing the victim card here. This was on me. Despite being cautious, it wasn't enough. Not by a long shot. This hit me like a punch to the gut.

Before we get to the begging-for-help part, let me add this. Despite my blunder, I've always been rigorous with my private key and mnemonic phrase. Never wrote them down. Never signed off on dodgy transactions. My wallet was mainly a workhorse for business transactions and a couple of trustworthy crypto casinos. Still, I got burned. Badly. Just goes to show that even with the best practices, there are risks.

Now, I'm asking for a solid. If anyone knows any advanced ways to track this wallet or the transaction, I'd be thankful for your insight. My hope is barely flickering, but I'm holding on, trying to salvage what I can.

This is your wake-up call. Got substantial crypto? Get it into your hard wallet. Don't feed yourself the "it won't happen to me" BS. Because, from personal experience, it damn well can.

Awesome the same response on a different platform.

I have had an ongoing issue with Crypterium for almost a month now, and have been blocked on Telegram, Twitter etc. when trying to get an update on my issue. On December 12th, 2021 I had purchased $250 of BTC in Crypterium on their iPhone app as I have done many times before. When I attempted about an hour later to withdraw my funds to an external wallet, I received a generic error message. I contact Crypterium who asked to see a screenshot, then told me they would be escalating this to the "appropriate department". I enquired further as to what the issue was and they simply said a technical problem and signed off. About a week later I hadn't heard anything back from them, and had tried to withdraw the BTC from their online platform as well, received the same generic error message telling me to contact support. I have also tried to exchange it to another currency which I can do, but still can't send to any external wallet or even another user. I also cannot cash it out to my debit card or bank account. Fast forward to January 6th, 2022 and I still haven't heard from them even after following up numerous times and still can't withdraw my crypto. Any suggestions on what or how to proceed?

Proof of Blocking on Twitter:
Error Message with Network Requests:
Error Message on iPhone:

Ticket Number 250685

Yes, here is the error message I receive, I have tried on the web and my iPhone. On web I tried to see what the Network requests say I'll include that as well. Thanks for your help.

It is also worth noting they have blocked me on their Twitter account and their telegram chat for asking for updates, etc. on the issue.

Would be very grateful if you could assist with this transaction.

Hello, I signed up with Telegram and have played here almost daily for over 9 months now, all of a sudden today I am unable to login via Telegram, it just leaves me at the login screen and never redirects as it usually does to my account. I was playing fine this morning and came back an hour later and cannot log in.

I have sent two emails now and have received no reply!

Thank you!

I am/was an affiliate for Bitcoincasino.io and while at one time they were honest, , fair and one of the best crypto casinos out there as of the past few months they have become increasingly worse.

They don’t pay withdrawals within 5 minutes or less as they claim, and frankly I have never been paid out that fast while cashing out from there. Over the past few months when I have waited over an hour for my withdrawal and go talk to live support about the status they give me a canned reply stating, “We draw your attention to the increased amount of withdrawal requests we get during these times caused by the pandemic. Therefore the waiting time of your cashout in the queue could be longer than usual. Despite this, we process all your requests carefully by turn order as before. Unfortunately, I can’t provide you with any approximate time frames , because I do not want to misinform you. Thanks for understanding!”

It’s so incredibly ridiculous, they make excuse after excuse and the worst part is their support staff blames it on management but when you ask to talk to management they say they can’t do that and to, “Continue being patient” 
(CHAT WITH REP JULY 2019 AFTER THEY DETECTED DUPE ACCOUNT) : https://imgur.com/b0C5czV



This week is what sealed their fate for me, one of my referrals through the affiliate program requested a cashout, he has withdrawn previously and had no issues aside from the long wait for receiving funds.

He had requested a cashout of £200 using BTC 07/14/2020 which was the same currency he deposited in. They continued to delay his deposit for over 12 hours, which is when he contacted me to see if I have ever had to wait that long for a cashout. I told him no and followed up by speaking with the affiliate manager, after about 24 hours I received a reply and she said she would check it.

She informed me that the player had a duplicate account and that they will be requesting documents from him, he had not been informed of this yet, and so when I told him he was surprised to hear this, although he did inform me that when he signed up in July of 2019 he was informed by the chat that the detected multiple accounts and his account would not be eligible for bonuses. But in that same chat log he asked many pertinent question, one of them being,”Will this affect my ability to withdraw?” Which the chat representative replied, “No” I also asked the affiliate manager, why they decided to ask for KYC for this withdraw rather than the said the second account was started in July, I told her, “Yes, July of 2019 as seen in the chat transcript above.” She had no reply for that.

Fast forward to now, he has submitted his KYC documents and has had them approved, only to then have them denied shortly after and now they remain in a pending status and is being given the runaround by every chat representative. I find this absolutely ridiculous that they are not providing any answers, they are lying to myself as I have gone and spoke to them myself demandding answers. He has been trying all day to receive his £200 in btc cashout, now that he has fully complied with KYC, and no one gives a straight answer.


I STRONGLY URGE PLAYERS NOT TO PLAY OR DEPOSIT AT BITCOINCASINO.IO DUE TO THESE SKETCHY ROGUEISH BEHAVIORS THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS!!!

The title of your bonus advertisement is very misleading.

If I understand it correctly,  essentially if I deposit $100, I get $50 which works out to be a 50% match deposit bonus (which is already far lower than most BTC casinos for first deposits), then I must wager my initial deposit of $100 50 times (again higher than most casino bonuses). Wouldn't play here just due to the obvious deception/misleading advertising.
