Hello. Update after 18 months. . Thank you very much for your help and advice.
OP, I am very happy to hear that the advice you received here actually helped you in your quest for obtaining your money back.
Binance cooperated with the Romanian authorities and identified the people behind the wallets. The money was confiscated and everything is fine. They were stored at Binance.
This is even more great news! However, this amazes me, in a way. And this is because I would never believe that our local Police is capable of such investigation or they would ever pay attention to such kind of a theft. Obtaining crypto funds back, after a theft, is something difficult allover the world. But it's even more difficult in countries where local authorities don't even understand what they're dealing with. And I was almost certain that our Police would not give a damn for your complaint.
Seeing though that they really involved in your case; seeing that they identified the thieves; seeing that they went even further, to
collaborate with Binance send a subpoena to Binance, in order to seize the thieves' funds (funds which, in fact, belonged to you) -- all these made me to see our Police in a total different view. I am not surprised by the fact that Binance accepted to seize the funds after receiving the subpoena; I am amazed by the fact that our local Police managed to go
that far.
Probably, what I'm saying here may surprise many readers, which may think "
Why is Gazeta so surprised? For Police it was the natural thing to do.". Such questions are perfectly normal to pop in mind. But I know how our Police works; I know how, many times, the victim is seen as the attacker; I know how, many times, they do not care for even more harsh abuses; and I know (or,
I thought I knew) that our local authorities (including Police) have no idea what Bitcoin is. This is why I am so impressed by what OP managed to reach so far, with the help of Police...
OP, whenever you can (and whenever the law will allow you to), please let us know about the further proceedings. Good luck!
