Release the hounds : 45.8 BTC stolen - electrum-wallet.com CRIMINAL sticky pls

[ChainSmoker]

All these suggestions and pieces of advice here are totally baseless and needless now. We should be asking if OP is still alive after reporting that incidence here. I sincerely hope he hasn't committed suicide for that isn't a small amount of cash to lose.

why don't you first click and see the OP profile before increasing your post count?

[Pettuh4]

Sorry man for your loss. That's a huge amount to lose.

After seeing and reading this post here I quickly dashed to check my coins and behold I couldn't log into my Electrum wallet which I downloaded from Google playstore. Several attempts have proved abortive. I have also read comments from frustrated users on review about that. I am not panicking yet but I hope it is just a coincidence and not that my coins have been tampered with. Does anyone have that experience too?

Scary times I guess but my condolences to the OP I think you can start again and buy some bitcoins down but just be extra careful this tim around. I don't know why but electrum bett and start backing up else they loose our trust.

Domain is owned by Some Alexandr Ivanov and what's interesting is Alexandr Ivanov is Waves CEO.

Sorry OP,looks like that guy is using fake name and it won't help you.

  OP all your bitcoins went to bittrex and I'm sure they will be able to tell who owns that account since ID verification is required for trading.

Yo kingcolex sorry man! Will you still be able to forgive me?!! Lol. I was really naive and got carried away., i just happy of the thought that the op had hopes to find who ever is that lazy motherfcker that stole his hard earned bitcoins. And plus I don't know that much about how computers work. xD
But istill, i wish someone finds a way to help op get his coins back. I really feel bad for him.

Awesome job man!! I hope this really can help op now., if you're still alove op, you should try doing what mr. escrow.ms is trying to say. You should go and report this to any representative of bitrex or something. Don't lose hope. Just try and try because you will never know until you try. You getting your possessions back would be a great  thread closer. xD

Beat of luck op hope you get back what's yours.
And thanks for this info mr.escrow.ms

Wow! You are awesome. But still there is no 100% guarantee that the thief will be caught and the coins will be returned to the victim. The ID verification system at Bittrex is not 100% fail-proof. Recently there were reports of stolen ID cards being used to create dummy Bittrex accounts. Also, if the thief is from a country such as Yemen or Pakistan, there is not much the OP can do about it.

[Ewinsane]

^ Chances are if the ppl behind this are smart enough to create a wallet that can wipe out your machines wallets, they've thought well past domain/hosting/ID's/IP's/legal/whatifs/unforeseens/etc. Best case scenario namecheap and the host give up intel that's probably daisy chained to dead ends imo. I'm sure they won't be around long but all it takes is a new domain.whatever and another indi/loose/foreign hosting and they're up again.

** I hate scammers as much as anyone else, however, like anyone else, I'm fascinated by the schemes they execute and must admit this shit was clever, timed, and paid the fawk off for these guys. What a beautiful and cruel world.

As much as hate to admit it you have a point, i have seen cases where when this cases happen best you can get close is the ip address and the country the hack was done from, but in this case its was done from from a program the victim gave permission to, i am sure they would have tied up loose ends except it was a fluke and if it is then, it is worth a shot to report to the authorities

If you can, please make this a sticky , people NEED to be warned and i need to find someone to recover 150kusd and get 75kusd for it (Relative to current BTC + BCH prices )

I got robbed of 45.8 BTC (and BCH so total = 150000$) after installing the executable from electrum-wallet.com.

I was running multisig but both on the same PC. First i ran the portable electrum.exe from  electrum-wallet.com but when it did not load my wallets *NOTE : the ones that had BTC in them ,it loaded just fine any other wallet ) - I don't want to hear opinions on my stupidity

After it didn't work i downloaded last version of electrum from electrum.org

I'm wondering how the F is it possible that after 2 years of this thread no one has taken down and/or announced the US. authorities fbi etc about it.

I'm in Romania and have no wish to deal with this legally, which will probably get me nowhere.



I  am willing to split the rights on the BTC with whoever is capable of recovering them via detective+legal means.

thanks for the warning op. maybe ill be more carefull about what im downloading from now on.  and ihope more people being read this not to ignore to be help them as a warning.

The ball is in your hands now, OP

you did a really good job men. now op has this information to report this scammer. i hope that who did this scam got to jail more years to pay what he did to you (op). we support you in this fight against scamer.

I'm pretty sure this won't help you but I live like 10min away from this hoster, small world...

Great work getting the details of the scammer, i hope it was a fluke and they would be stupid enough to give valid address.

From the given information, I guess you are a penetration tester or a security professional. I hope the victim will be able to understand this piece of info. But this will definitely work and he has no better option at the moment. Whether they were stupid or it’s a coincidence, the good news is there is an address.

[tranzactionezlive]

I thank you all for the support and help you provided, xdev,  escrow.ms and all others that have sent me PM and posted here willing to help.

Bittrex has locked the said account but it seems the coins were moved many days ago. If someone can confirm that, please do.

Even if funds are moved, they should be able to tell withdrawal addresses.

I don't want to hear opinions on my stupidity.

Fucking idiots can't be fixed.  You are going to hear about your stupidity whether you like it or not.  Idiot.

Way too much to fucking get phished on, when dealing with money people need to take precautions and not just fucking click random links or Google.

The problem is that people need to change their behavior when dealing with money and they do not, for example if you are going to use your computer to store money, in this case bitcoin, then avoid installing anything other than the necessary tools and avoid downloading pirate software and do not click in every link you see, since it is possible that you lose your money if a virus gets in your computer.

With any higher amount that petty cash buy a damn Chromebook and use a trezor or keepkey. Don't fuck around with random .exe

why not use linux+electrum instead of trusting trezor hardware wallet when you can't be sure that's it's not tempered in transit

It depends on the amount of money you have, Linux and electrum is a very good combination if you are low in budget since Linux is free and the same is true for electrum. About the Chromebook I do not really like anything produced by Google since to me those are nothing but spy machines and the trezor is probably the best hardware wallet in the world.

[adiksau0414]

Thanks for the information and sorry for the huge lost.  These days the most intelligent and skilled person uses their abilities to do unacceptable work.  For the sake of easy money?  That is very stupod thing to do.  But still we cant do anything for that.  The innocent and legit one suffered in this. Don't worry karma is on his way.  And you will gain more than what you lost.

because you want the experience to be seamless. You can use trezor or ledger without actual deep knowledge of OS, computers, crypto. It is a tech for an average user: very secure and easy to use. Linux+electrum on the other hand is not, especially if you are a windows user. It is not very secure, either. And why trust electrum more than trezor is beyond me...

[RawDog]

I'm wondering how the F is it possible that after 2 years of this thread no one has taken down and/or announced the US. authorities fbi etc about it.

Everyone expects the US to protect them.  Then, when the US acts like the world policeman, everyone says what assholes the US are.  lol.  The US and FBI can give a fuck about your stupid bitcoin loss due to downloading fake software.  Why do you cry to them?

[Wulanayu]

Wow .... 45btc just disappeared.
I think it's very hard to get your coins back, even if you're reporting elsewhere. because it's so hard to keep track of the system the way you do it, maybe all you need is a world-class hacker who can help you track and return your coins.
I think hackers are very smart he is able to hack anything that is in front of him.

[cryptohunter]

would be better if google made these ADs look more like ads rather than official SE results based on some merit.

they should also enforce some harsh kyc on people using adwords now

Blame Goodle adwords. Google ads now look so similar to their search results, many users are tricked into clicking those ads instead of the real sites

[piebeyb]

out there there are many people who may be the same as you lost their bitcoin in the wallet, but it is true said by friends here the missing bitcoin will be hard to find anymore especially if someone has moved your bitcoin from your wallet to his wallet, I hope it can be experience you and wish there was a replacement after that

Oh. my. god.  Cry Cry  45 bitcoins I'm so sorry for your loss, even though i have no advice to give you i gladly reported this scam website but i'm kinda baffled on how someone with so much bitcoins could fall for such a bait and not pay attention and it made me even more paranoid  Shocked . I hope you do find a way to get them back and get the scammer behind bars  Undecided .
