One of my bosses in the office has some cryptocurrency in his wallet. He does not know much about cryptocurrency especially how to manage a wallet. One day one of his neighbors was helping him with the wallet and without his knowledge the neighbor copied his wallet phrase. Yesterday he discovered that there was nothing left in his wallet because everything had been withdrawn.
Please is there any way we can retrieve the cryptocurrency or is there any way we can get proof that he is the one who really transferred it? We have the wallet address to which the cryptocurrency was transferred.
Exposing your wallet secret phase is the easiest way to lose your crypto, this is mostly the job of crypto recovery services, but these days so many of them are scam and a complete waste of time.
But am curious, is the asset Bitcoin?
Because if it's Bitcoin, you have some hope of recovering your asset if it was transferred to an exchange, but if it's transfer to a none custodian wallet, then it's near impossible to even know who it is.
In a situation like this, you guys should be sure before making accusation, is that the only guy your boss has confide in?
Or he has shown any other person?
All this is one of the major reason you are advice to keep your secrets phase safe, because that's the key to your asset, once it lost or exposed, your asset are gone.
He is certain that he is the only person who has seen his phrase.
The only thing now is that there is no proof to back it up.
