Re: My trustwallet of $211,000 has been stolen, any help or advice is appreciated
Man, $211,000 on Trust Wallet? On a mobile app/browser extension? Not even an $80 hardware wallet? 
Best of luck.
Best of luck.
I would take that a step further and advise everyone to stay away from Ethereum altogether, where 90% or more of all crypto hacks have always occurred.
I get the criticism towards Ethereum, but of course the huge majority of hacks would be on Ethereum — because all the apps are on Ethereum/L2s. Ethereum's competitors outside of Solana have little to no on-chain activity.Right. That was the first thing with came to mind when I read the amount of
cryptocurrency this unfortunate person had in their mobile wallet. I don't want to be rough or hurt OP feelings... But not buying a 200$ advanced hardware wallet to safeguard almost a quarter of a million of dollars sounds like insanity to me.
There are even people within the Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency community in general which do not even have 2000$ and yet they choose to store whatever they have into a hardware wallet (which does not even need to be a premium model).
There is no much I can say beyond what others have. For that amount of money it would be worth it to hire a professional whose job is to track criminals like this one, in exchange of your stolen money. Though, the free recovery cases I have seen are from people who went all their way until the end and with their own available resources to hunt down those scammers.
I invested already about $1500 with a Private Investigator online to track my funds but unfortunately it seems like I’m at a dead end with the destination address going to an anonymous exchange at eXch.cx
Does anybody have the contact or ZachXBT or someone who’s proficient enough to trace these criminals with success. I tried contacting ZachXBT on Twitter but I don’t think he responds to individuals. If any of you know of a good resource that I can hire or speak to please let me know, one that’s legitimate as I’ve been hearing there’s a lot of scam services that don’t really recover
