Apr 2021 - Ex-Boyfriend Deleted External Wallet - $200k (United States)
"My friend had her 200k+ crypto wallet “deleted” off her external on “accident” by her ex[-boyfriend]." "She’s been holding since ‘17 so it was originally like 14k, but still..." "I believe she transferred from her [CoinBase] account she still has with more crypto in it."
"It was on the day he dumped her..." "It’s been like 5 days."
"She doesn’t seem extremely worried about it but said she’d consider some action if she knew what to do."
"I asked if she had anything written down relating to it and she said no. I told her to talk to an attorney also."
"What do you think the best course of action for her is? They’re still living together but she’s moving out soon. Would a police report even be possible? If it actually was deleted on accident, was there a crime committed?"
Further Analysis
A second hand story was reported of a young lady who had her wallet accidentally deleted by someone she had been dating. Unfortunately she did not keep any backups of the seed phrase, and had to go through hard drive recovery. The outcome is not clear.
How Could This Have Been Prevented?
Keep backup copies of the seed phrase.
