Like the title says what are the rules. If I miraculously got a private key to a wallet that had Bitcoin in it but was not mine originally then does that mean I now own the wallet like finders keepers and is there any legality issues with this in the usa,uk,canada,south america. Is this more of a morality should you or should you not.
This reminds of a old thread, scammer gets scammed, only a dishonest person would take what doesn’t belong to him. Bitcoin is not gotten for free so the original owner definitely spent money to buy the coins, claiming the bitcoins for yourself is stealing. Although it is impossible to generate a seed phrase that has a active balance, if you do find someone’s seed phrase written somewhere, your morals will be determined by the your actions you take.
