Out of all the fatalities, which I’m not sure they are tied together in the same sequence of events, I can’t see how your XRP can be moved if it was protected by Ledger Nano S device. I’ve seen what I presume is your thread on XRP Chat (https://www.xrpchat.com/topic/29510-xrp-fund-stolen-from-ledger-nano-s/), and as far as I can see, only one of two things could have happened:

-   You had your 24 word seed stored or scanned on your PC, along with those other documents you mention.

-   You state in your post on XRP Chat that you bough the Ledger Nano S on ebay, and not at the official site nor official reseller. The device could have been pre-seeded by the seller, but you do state that you resetted it before creating the pin an so on.

Recently I stumbled upon an official announcement from Trezor that stated that there were fake Trezor One’s on the market, visually undistinguishable, being the only slight alteration that of the holographic seal on the product’s original box. The fake devices could have a limited set of seeds, known to the people behind them, and the reset process may be an emulation and not result in a random created seed really.
Although that was Trezor, Ledger may have fake Nano S on the market (see Check if device is genuine to revise this).
