Man this is just dumb way to loss literally everything. What a shame! Every crypto users should at least know the basics things like these things works! Buying a wallet in collectibles? Nah man! Then I rather not buy at all. Tbh, this whole story doesn't seemed realistic to me, I hope it isn't real. $6.9 mil is a heck lot of a money.. I would literally cry over $100 Lips sealed

, imagine someone losing 6.9 mil.

Imagine that you have so much value in cryptocurrencies and then instead of buying or making an air-gapped wallet, you go looking for suspicious devices online and buy one just because it looks visually appealing. If there is any truth in this story, I wonder how this person managed to get so rich - but it seems to me that in this case, a saying that says something like "Easy come, easy go" would fit well.

This reminds me of a story where someone supposedly found the private key (seedphrase) to a wallet holding a hefty amount of BTC, but ended up sending the funds to the wrong address because the address was missing the last character, only because he was being careless. What a reckless way to become rich and again poor on the same instant. Although, I'm not sure whether this story was real or not but I believe I have seen it somewhere in this forum. Tongue
