good afternoon everyone. I did some research, as a result of which I received the seed phrase of the wallet from which 139 BTC were stolen.

I have some doubts about your claims. As LoyceV mentioned, providing more proof like a signed address could help you be taken more seriously.

But lets theorize for a sec. This person who gave you the seed phrase or whatever - how can you be sure they aint the hacker who stole the money themselves?

Kinda stupid of the hacker to just give his keep that easy, it seems more like this user's not really saying anything remotely true, and perhaps is only doing this for the sake of duping yet another clueless mofo on the crypto industry. LoyceV's suggestions's a far more plausible suggestion than actually asking him or theorizing how he happened upon this amount of bitcoin. Although this could be related to that news from back then where someone lost their bitcoins and this triggered a 3m transaction fee charge or whatever. I could be wrong tho.

In any case it's best to just sign the message and wait until further updates come, for sure if someone lost that amount of bitcoin specifically, they'd be able to reach out to you and prove at some level that it was theirs in the first place.

A message was signed, and was confirmed to be valid as stated by some of the users above. However, Electrum cannot verify the message given by the OP above which is kind of weird. I tried verifying it on my end through Electrum but it just says that it couldn't verify the address. I don't know how that happened as I also tried signing a message through Electrum and verifying it through this site and it worked perfectly fine.

I saw FiveStar4Ever's comment and tried the same approach and it worked in Electrum. How the OP obtained a signed message is something I'm not certain. Also, even if the owner of the address managed to contact OP, there's no guarantee that they will get the money back. I'm more interested on the back story of how OP got access to the seed phrase, really.
