Perhaps I'm being too harsh too fast, but I call this request for help bullshit, there is no known 12 seed words here. Just greed and misconceptions.
Yeah, first he calls owner of the words "
friend", but later "
client".
It's as if he's somehow offering a recovery service while not knowing how to do the job he's offering, posted this in disguise of helping a friend.
What went wrong is he didn't even authenticated his client's claims though the story alone, if it's legitimate, it would've been arranged by now even with CPU.
But the good thing is, this thread can be used as reference in case someone has a misarranged 12-word mnemonic.
