I've opened a case with numerous exchanges at this point to monitor all the addresses I have on hand but after a lot of bakc and forth they all ultimately suggest I file a report with local PD but the people in my area are generally definitely not savvy enough to handle a case like this so I'd be left waiting around for them.to pass my case upto secret service or something

xenxra:
not a bad idea, I'm open to anything. problem is I don't really have a direct method of contact with the attacker. they used a VPN with a Google voice number to reach me.bc my number was leaked in a data breach (like 10 times at this point) and then the rest of the ordeal was carried out through a falsified coinbase front-end. atm I'm mostly just concerned with getting any phone numbers I have on hand suspended (done) and as many addresses as possible frozen (in progress)

@xenxra It's not the best advice but you could alway's bind a RAT to PDF file and send them an email from a differnt email posing as a lawyer/or some authority figure from a saying someting about sueing/fake affidavit or anything you can think that would make them scared/curious/greedy enough to open it and then drain their crypto or find out who it is and pinpoint their location and file charges. Just brainstorming.

appreciate the kind words everyone. I think I'll make it. if I can even just so much as manage to get one of these guys locked up with the trail.i have on them then I can sit well with that. based on a couple addresses I've come across they've taken at least $5mil total from other victims.

Right before that i had a very large amount of things taken from me from a 'friend' through a combined deal to his drop of course. You have a good balance. kudos to you. There is another 100k out there.

i mean i know how to do bc analytics and such so i figure the only thing a "hacker" on dread would be able to do is counter manipulate the dude but i have no method to contact him anyway besides maybe leaving a spooky note on chain with one of the eth addresses they funneled through

xenxra:
im honestly over it already, you live and learn.
@
xenxra:
meh not worth it. i know how to trade so i can bounce back in the end if im not able to recover it. i already spoke to binance and had three accounts frozen and im filing a police report tomorrow.

PHXINC:
Go to the hacker forum on dread, i will say no more. People salivate for jobs like this. they gonna want 25-50% of your coin though if they get it.

xenxra:
looks like i lucked out and i might be able to trace this scumlord down
@
xenxra:
@PHXINC it was a pretty complex script they hit me with. I would not be surprised to find out they know how to wash it but I am planning to start tracking it myself tonight. I filed a report with ic3 but I'm not sure how long it'd even take them to look into it.
@
PHXINC:
Wow. Bitcoin that is easily traceable. Depends how good they are at cleansing it but many are not as good as they think. Go hire up. Shoud not cost too much.
@
xenxra:
it took me like 5 years to save up that bitcoin too
@
xenxra:
@BraveLittleToaster it was yesterday, i'm trying to stay optimistic but that was a pretty big chunk of my savings. no recourse to get any of it back due to where it was taken from.

BraveLittleToaster:
@xenxra Jesus christ thats a lot of btc, this happened recently? I would lose my shit if that happened to me. I'm sorry that happened to you. f*#king hate scammers so much..
