⚡️👮♂️🚔 WATCH - Discover on Nostr the heartbreaking story of a theft of $1.1 million in crypto...
A crypto wallet containing $1.1 million was completely emptied after a policeman's camera revealed a seedphrase during an arrest.
An unbelievable but very real story.
Nevada State Police are checking a man for what appears to be a simple, minor tax problem.
The police decide to search the car for tax documents.
They find a folded piece of paper in the glove compartment.
The officer moves the paper and sees twelve handwritten words.
To anyone: gibberish.
To a crypto enthusiast: a seed phrase.
And then, the drama:
🔹 The scene is filmed by the policeman's bodycam.
🔹 The arrest is broadcast live.
🔹 The wallet is emptied in less than an hour.
No appeal possible. The court concludes that there has been no data breach.

There's no way that a government run "seed phrase recognition" program could be added to cameras to send anything looking like a seed phrase to a bot that would immediately run the seed on multiple platforms to breach the wallet. Nope. That technology doesn't exist.
Word to the wise: keep your seed phrase on you at all times. A FAKE seed phrase, dumbass. :)
