Divorced wife steal ex-husband bitcoin wallet password using CCTV

[tech30338]

I guess you can't completely rely on human made stuffs, cos they'll always have their disadvantages. what he installed to keep him safe ended up being his doom, lol what an irony. I think all this isn't just about the CCTV but about the man's recklessness and, should I say stupidity. After he divorced his wife, knowing fully well she knew her way around the house, his first move hould have been to take a more drastic action towards securing his bitcoin. He was just careless, and that's what you get when you become careless with important stuffs.

Some human made is reliable but however what is not reliable to them are the people who is using and operating them because the CCTV did the work at which it was installed for but however it was the man that neglected what someone could do with the information the CCTV has kept for him, although is also how he and the wife was living that could possibly made him not to think in that direction because is possible that he was sure the wife never new what is called a seed phrase or anything about Bitcoin apart knowing that the husband was into investment on Bitcoin, well he will definitely wouldn't take things for granted next time.

Maybe he though that the Ex-wife would not do anything like that, maybe he trusted her too much, but in this world if its about money they will forget anything that you did for them so never ever, be complacent about the any person
But what makes me think is why is the camera so close or too focus in the computer? why would he design or position the camera in that angle is he also spying on the ex-wife? or the ex-wife the one put the camera? but if you are dealing with money you can never be sure.

Good question, we can use the reason why they installed CCTV cameras to a lot of crucial places so that you could see what a person is doing or how to track incident after occurrence, so actually if the room is a place were every member of the family usually go whenever they wanted, that could be the reason for the man to place the CCTV so that whenever he comes back to play everything he would no if somebody had gone or near the place he kept those passwords, although this could be a possible reason but doesn't actually mean his reason is the same assumption I have made now but however the first mistake was also keeping the device of playing the CCTV to the reach of everyone.

CCTV doesn't have to be the traditional ones installed on the wall and ceiling; there are spy cameras people hide within bookshelves to spy on people very close to their camera. Some of these spy cameras work like CCTV, but they can be accessed remotely. This might be the closest the wife uses because if it is a big CCTV, there is no way the husband will not know about the existence of the camera close to his PC, to say that CCTV need a storage disc as backup, the woman needs big storage to store the videos to follow up on everything the man was doing on his PC.

Trust is broken between them; there was nothing there again, otherwise there is nothing that should warrant couples using cameras to be looking into what each individual is doing. What I can't explain is why the woman went to this length when she can seek divorce and ask for half of the Bitcoin since that is how the law works in the United Kingdom instead of going rogue to steal fortune from the husband. The more I look at this, the more she looks like James Bond to me.

No matter how careful we are, family is our place of trust but when the family starts conspiring from this family, the place of trust becomes hell. After reading this post, I thought about my family and wife for a while. I'm thinking about how I would be mentally if this happened to me. Although such a situation has never crossed my mind, after seeing this post, a different kind of cautious feeling has developed within me. I have to be more advanced in terms of being cautious so that no one can do this in a bad situation.

Yes family is all and it is very difficult to keep such secrets off the hands of our partners except there is enemity between both partners that claims they are in love.  When we talk about love the first thing to remember is trust because if you don't trust me, you cannot call me your own, so I will say let us only pray such partner do not come close to us because if it does, getting off that chain becomes very difficult.  As for been very conscious in handling our seed phase, it can not completely be hidden from your partner

He trusted his wife or didn't even trusted completely, but didn't take the ultimate caution that cost him 2000+ bitcoin now. So we can't really trust anyone anymore because the wife is someone who we share everything with, which apparently means our finances too.

These kind of stories make me more afraid of this world, do we really become that cruel? Betray the one who trusted you completely...

Probably that ex‑husband never even looked at her face closely enough to notice she has both eyes and ears.

The lesson learned from this case reinforces my view that when dealing with crypto you should trust nobody ^{not even relatives}. In fact for their own safety it might be better if they don’t even know you have any involvement with crypto at all.

On the contrary legend,
In life, among everyone around you, there must be someone who can earn your trust.
(Sometimes times) when we alow our mind to be  engulfed with the fear of the unknown, we become vulnerable to losing out in the midst of eventuality.

Here is the practical illustration of the above.
Cousin to a  colleague of mine working with Total Nigeria Unlimited, very ambitious, full of life, and loved by many both wife, children, friends and siblings.
But there was no one among all qualified to earn his trust.
He died on a plane crash late 2023 with no trace to his password nor seed phrase to access his 7.5675 Bitcoin.

Finally, if we must keep all secret which is good that no one should know, won't all the labour to accumulate Bitcoin for years be a waste in this kind of situation?

I did not know if they have been divorced at the time, but according to the court, it is an estranged wife. The oldest daughter of the ex-husband tell her father the plan of his ex-wife. The father used CCTV to know that her ex-wife used CCTV to know where the password of his Trezor is which is a six digit code. Used it to steal his 2,323.28423347 BTC, sent the bitcoin to 71 bitcoin addresses which remain dormant since 2023 after it was stolen.

I wanted to post this in scam accusation board but I think beginners and help board can be helpful for some people to also see it, especially the newbies. We really need to be careful and protect our coins. There are just some mistakes that we may not know and we should make sure no camera is watching us while backing up our seed phrase, passphrass, private key, wallet password or while using our wallet, What if it is an online wallet, some people will blame it on malware, but not knowing that it is someone around someone that did the thing.

I am not yet saying the defendant is not innocent and neither am I saying she is innocent, but there is possibility that something like this can happen.

Forget malware, this right here is wifeware lol. like she didn’t even need a hacker to pull that stunt off, apparently all she really needed was just CCTV subscription 😂. This now goes to show you that even the smallest information leak could be very detrimental for a bitcoin holder because you might end up losing everything you worked had to gather up in a blink of an eye just because you let your guard down for a bit and the crazy part about it is that it could turn out to be someone that you know personally maybe a friend or even family just like the man in question, that will take advantage of your little mistake and make you regret that your mistake. That’s why you need to be situationally aware of your surroundings whether you’re outside or at home especially when it has to do with you imputing your wallet password in a public or open place. Don’t be surprised that there are people out there who would spend a lot of money on buying security devices and those same people will still go ahead and enter their security pin in front of an audience, isn’t that just unbelievable!.
