🚨 $10.5M BTC holder gets wiped after buying a Ledger
Someone just lost 80 $BTC (~$10.5M) after moving funds to a hardware wallet. Here's the timeline:
4 months ago: Bought 80 $BTC at ~$65k ($5.2M)
Unrealized profit: $1.38M
1 week ago: Bought Ledger from reseller "CryptoBillis"
Moved all 80 $BTC to the device
Result: Total loss
Spent months building a $1.38M profit, tried to secure it with a hardware wallet, and lost everything.
No independent confirmation yet on how this happened, but if you're buying hardware wallets:
• Never buy from third-party resellers
• Only order directly from manufacturer
• Check for tampering before use
• Verify firmware authenticity
This is why custody matters more than conviction. One OpSec mistake and years of gains evaporate.
