So I have been in BTC since it was around $1000 but my account was compromised due to me being lazy and the scammers got it all... or so I thought. I decided to open a new coinbase account this jan. but in the process (understatement IT WAS PAINFUL to reopen) I found the scammers left about $600 in XRP or ETH that had grown over the last few years.
If I was to be in your shoe, the best thing I would have done is to immediately transfer that $600 in XRP you just found in your old crypto account that was hacked and scammed. But thats if only you still have access to your transaction pin .
BUT... I also had a Monera (?) account I think? It was like a coinbase type exchange but located in south korea. I tried to reopen that one but sometime when the FTC or SEC began regulating bitcoin they said I had to live in south korea to access my account or something to that effect, Also they didn't have an AWESOME customer service 1-800 like CB's. (yeah sarcasm)
So why not use a VPN to change your location to South Korea and access your account? Because with the use of technology this days, gone are those day when you have to travel all the way to South Korea before you could have access to servers dedicated for only South Korea users. Because who knows, you could have a reasonable sum of crypto in that Monera account.
