So I want to share something with you guys. Do you think it is ok for someone who has a lot of money to continue to steal from someone who has no money and this prevents them from using any crypto..and I live on crypto. But I cannot anymore because this person has taken my seed phrases. I am asking help to find the owner if this address. My nfts have been disappearing and my funds get drained any time I add them. But only certain assets. Even if you cannot help let me know if you think this is morally ok? I will makes cast showing the address that has been taking my funds and NFTs for a while now. Please follow and help me bring this person to justice.

Your wallet is compromised by a scammer. It has a drainer bot set up to watch your activity so it can keep pulling all the assets you put in it. Of course it’s not ethical. Scammers are scum. Stop using that wallet. Figure out how your seed phrases were stolen before you make a new one or they might get it too. If you downloaded/installed anything on your computer from them you may have a Trojan horse or a keylogger so that might be how they got your seed. Don’t type any passwords for your bank accounts either until you figure out how your wallet was compromised. There is no way to make that wallet safe again. Don’t lose any more money interacting with it.

Easy for you to say. My entire life and all my money is in these wallets. Its over. I wont be able to even participate in crypto or even buy groceries. There is no more hope. They squeezed me out. This is the same cycle happening over and over for the past four years! I have never once been a bad actor in crypto! NOT ONE TIME! I gave you guys the very best of me and it was all for nothing. It like crypto wants me to yell scam for ever. So disappointed

It's not easy for me to say. I've been a victim of this and I know it's painful and frustrating. But that's the danger we all accept when we participate in crypto. Self custody requires the responsibility of taking care of your own funds' safety. There is intentionally no centralized authority like a bank to report fraud to and get a refund when people scam you. On the same token, it's not "personal". "Crypto" is not out to get you, but this is the Wild Wild West and there's no one looking out for you but you here. When it happened to me I lost much of my life savings. I had to start over from scratch, fresh wallet, hardware wallet, and reassociating everything that was my identity for that wallet to the new one. You can do it too, but you can't keep using that wallet.

Do you have assets like minting contracts on that wallet or NFTs that are actually worth retrieving? Depending on what they are, they can probably be rescued. But any money that's been drained is gone and is not coming back so you have to just move on from that. Just don't send any more than you absolutely have to for gas to rescue your assets. If this is your FC wallet, or wallet you use for identity on other things, make a new wallet and start switching it out. And, as I said before it's extremely important that you figure out HOW your wallet was compromised. Because if you have a keylogger or a trojan horse then you are in danger of losing much more than just your crypto. They can get access to your email and other information on your computer and blackmail you or sell it on the dark web so you have to deal with identity theft (fake credit cards, loans, etc). They can log in to your bank accounts and drain them. They have no morals and they will do everything they can to squeeze you dry.

I do! You dont understand my particular situation! It is very hard for me to keep information safe! People even break into my apartment when I am not here. It happens a lot.
