If you know what hypnosis is, then you should understand that you can hypnotize a person with certain actions. There are many varieties of hypnosis. Manipulation is the main feature of scammers. Perhaps they do not act with a uniformly moving pendulum in front of their eyes, capable of hypnotizing a person, but act on the human psyche, knowing all sorts of tricks that ultimately lead to the goal of fraud. Read what NLP is. Those who master it perfectly can influence the person who gives out seed phrases.
There are so many good books out there that can explain the effect various hypnosis techniques have on the masses. For example, in the book of Robert Cialdini "Psychology of influence", some of the manipulation methods that we see every day but do not perceive as hypnosis are well described.

I haven't read any of the books you referenced but, from what you've stated here, the act of Hypnosis is defined by the methods and can't be classified as being manipulative as, this is cognitive of scammers or fraudsters. Is that it? Or am a little off still.

With reference to the part of your quote that I italised, does that concur that, my hypothesis is possible and could happen?

In my country people are being hypnotized, and the story is this, they meet people out of nowhere then talk to them, then suddenly they are being controlled to withdraw money , even over the counter withdrawals, or pull-out jewelry at home, sometimes they were hypnotized via phone call then bring everything to a meeting place
after what happen they were left to a certain place, without remembering anything, so yes this is possible, if in any case they know you have a crypto portfolio, but in all the cases in my country, they just get the physical valuables, maybe in the future if they found out about this crypto currency they will also try to get their hands on this, take note they were very organized and work as a group.

Could this this classified as hypnosis too?
I have met and heard the tales of two victims of such schemes before and yes, its always subject to physical belongings and money in each case.

It's usually some carefully planned work in a remote area where the victim is targeted by a displaced person who tries to engage his or her victim in a conversation. Normally asking for directives to some place, proceeds to haven't came with some goods from abroad and offers a proposal, then come along some random transport agent and the next you know, your complying to there every suggestion. You might be aware of what's going on but, you find it difficult to back off. They claim to have used some vudu charms on you and so, you don't get to tell or risk your life and shits like that until, the scheme is complete or your awoken to the reality of what is going on by a friend or family relative who observes your discomfort or finds your behaviour to be abnormal as these guys go as far as sending you home to get stuffs.

Do we think this could apply in robbing users of there privacy/security in cryptos..., really!
