Though bitcoin is widely recognized as a digital asset and is very volatile,when dealing with it one have to be extremely careful.
One anonymous have his bitcoin wallet compromised and it was a serious financial setback,he try all his possible best to recover the stolen bitcoin but his effort prove abortive not until he apply another approach.
What he did was that,he compiled a well detailed information on the incident,by keeping note of some certain things like the transaction logs, the wallet address utilized and with the correspondence.Thereafter,he reported the theft to the appropriate authorities,which is the law enforcement agencies,legal experts with knowledge of cryptocurrency theft and a professional digital asset recovery services and present the necessary information for them,so that they can help get the bitcoin back.
He said with their experience and the consultation they have made concerning the assets recovery,that they finally have a better chance of finding the lost bitcoin by navigating the tricky situation related to bitcoin theft and scamming techniques,although the bitcoin was recovered but it took time before the recovery was made.
I’m still very confuse about the whole scenario,as to whether the bitcoin was back for sure or not because am always skeptical about bitcoin lost.
If your friend has been able to reclaim their bitcoins by financial, judicial and related agencies, as friends have said, bitcoins have been transferred to a currency exchange that has been approved by your country and has been able to do so through legal procedures.
But ...
The first thing the hackers are trained is to hide themselves and their footsteps, so transferring bitcoins to currency exchanges, especially concentrated and identifying exchanges from a professional hacker, is unlikely to be unlikely.
Digital currency hackers are aware of the traces of the transfer and try to clear or complicate these traces by performing several different acts, so it is unlikely to do this hack from a profession.
As a result, either your friend does not tell you the whole story or magnify you, or that he has been ignorant of security, has led to his own bitcoin account and another ordinary person has used this position.
