Has anyone EVER recovered a wallet with BTC funds available in it?

I'd like to think there is a way to do it, but I'm not enough of a hacker nerd to know how to use any hashing programs, and as others have said, no one who thinks they can hack into a wallet would be posting it here for sale.



No, no one has get into wallet and get the funds. Even if you have password that is accepted in the first place, the private keys are not decrypted because the final checksum is invalid with that password.

For over 300 wallets, where about dozen of passwords were known, no one wallet happened to decrypt with known password.

Someone forged these wallets by changing the address and made ckey undecryptable (checksum).
By the way, nobody who owns real wallets, or at least thinks so, will sell or trade the files for a buck to a stranger in the internet. Not even for 10k
