โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿš” 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:

๐Ÿ”น The scene is filmed by the policeman's bodycam.

๐Ÿ”น The arrest is broadcast live.

๐Ÿ”น The wallet is emptied in less than an hour.

No appeal possible. The court concludes that there has been no data breach.

Ridiculous. But carrying your seed phrase, on paper, in your wallet is pretty ridiculous too.
