This story happened in Moscow. The young man arrived in the capital from a provincial town, having previously sold his apartment and invested in bitcoins.
He kept 2 bitcoins on a regular flash drive. This type of storage is safer than storing 12 secret words on a regular piece of paper, however, if you lose this flash drive, you lose your crypto assets forever.
And so, on the appointed day, he arrived at the crypto exchanger and did not find the flash drive in his pocket. Most likely, the man simply lost the flash drive on the way to the exchanger. This does not look like theft, since no one knew his intentions to make an exchange. The man did not even write a statement to the police, but only shared his bitter experience on his social network.
According to experts, it is impossible to restore access to a lost crypto wallet stored on a flash drive. You need to know at least 12 secret phrases and naturally you need to keep them in some other place. Then it is possible to restore access to the lost cryptocurrency online.
