So this friend of a friend sold some Bitcoin to the 25yrs old guy that I know and the Bitcoin was stolen, I am always against the idea of  seliing Bitcoin to someone face to face normally but when he told me about it I was like you guys are friend so no problem, until he said he sold to him in discount.


But how? I get that he did a face to face trade with a person he knew and got the bitcoins from him at a discount.
But how can the bitcoins be stolen if the person was holding it in his wallet ? except if the bitcoins were not truly hold in his non-custodial wallet.
There's something missing here and it doesn't make sense until we get to know how exactly he lost his coins.
