A Ukrainian tourist was vacationing with his family not far from the capital of Sri Lanka. On this day, as on all previous ones, according to the victim, he left his things on the beach and went swimming in the ocean. His wife and children remained on the shore, not far from their sun lounger. After some time, the man came out of the ocean and went to his family. At that moment, they discovered that the money and one phone were missing. How the theft was committed remains a mystery, because the children and wife of the victim were next to his things all this time.
Be that as it may, the man called the police and reported the theft. According to him, little money was stolen. Their amount was only enough for a tuk-tuk ride to their hotel. A tuk-tuk is a local means of transportation, something between a motorcycle and a mini car.
But the funds stored on the phone in cryptocurrency exceeded 3 bitcoins. At today's rate, this is 246 thousand dollars.
If the man does not have a secret phrase to restore his crypto wallet, then these funds are most likely lost forever. Of course, it is possible that the thieves themselves will contact the victim and offer to return his phone for a reward. This type of fraud is extremely common in these parts.
