Just for the sake of clarification; I actually had to read OP a few times before I realized what had actually happened.

You contacted or were contacted by someone (the 2 guys) that wanted to buy 1.5BTC in cash. 23.000USD in cash. I'm pretty sure that's rather ilegall and goes against many anti moeny laundering regulations, but that's not the point here.

You bought some BTC (1.52033000), and met with the guys.

You sent the guys the coins, and they ran away both with the coins and the 23k.

Is this part right so far?


Because there are a couple of things that don't match to your story. First of all, let me say that I'm calling you a liar, but there are a couple of things that stand out and require some clarification. Let's see...

You bought the 1.52033000BTC on the 10th of November at 10:00AM, and sent them to 12o7wnUF574txi3jGBxBM6cgPxc69xAFZW

From 12o7wnUF574txi3jGBxBM6cgPxc69xAFZW, the coins were sent to both 1HU46MCbGcZ3huKLGBPjtpHUP6bjaad6ep (your address) and 1MhAywXcTF78eWVttBsVawSUZyhc53DMkf. Same day, but at 10:25AM

You then sent the coins to 1MhAywXcTF78eWVttBsVawSUZyhc53DMkf, which is the scammers account and then they ran away. That happened at ALSO at 10:25AM.

So the problems with this timeline are the following:

-You sent money twice (?) to the thieves address
-Only 25 minutes happened between the operation in which you bought the coins and when you were robbed.

So... did you meet this guys to sell BTC, or did they offer you a price for using your binance account to buy them some coins? It's just odd that the time lapse is that small, and well, the fact the you sent money twice is also strange.



As a side note, no; there's not much you can do to track them down. Your only chance is to get in contact with authorities so that they get in touch with binance and see if a ring bells; but while doing this, I'm pretty sure you'd be incriminating yourself in a couple of felonies too....
