YouTuber has lost Rs 50 lakh from his cryptocurrency wallet...
A Brazilian YouTuber who unintentionally posted the private keys to his cryptocurrency wallet on a public platform suffered a catastrophic financial loss. During a livestream, Ivan Bianco, known for his YouTube channel Fraternidade Crypto, revealed the contents of his cryptocurrency wallet. From his account, a massive $60,000 (roughly Rs 50 lakh) worth of cryptocurrency and a number of pricey NFTs were taken. The story has a twist, though. The Sao Paolo-based influencer was contacted by the thief after filing a formal police report, and he voluntarily returned a sizable portion of the stolen funds.
Ivan opened a few documents while live-streaming, and one of them contained the wallet credentials. His carelessness allowed unidentified people to steal a sizable portion of his crypto assets. Ivan was seen sobbing in a subsequent video as he described the unfortunate turn of events. The YouTuber tried to create a new wallet after realising that his wallet credentials had been stolen, but all his efforts were in vain.
Ivan Bianco stated, "I needed to transfer the assets as soon as possible," in a Protos interview. The assets weren't in the wallet; they were in a liquidity pool and totalled only about $100 (or about Rs 8000). It happened so quickly, and I really suffered. I tried to transfer the assets, but an error message showed up. I found it hard to believe that I was experiencing this. But after that, I went to Discord in search of solutions because I needed to get moving and stop crying.
The YouTuber checked his Discord messages after leaving the police station to see that someone had contacted Ivan. The unidentified person expressed regret for his error and gave back a sizable portion of his cryptocurrency funds. Ivan Bianco reportedly received about $50,000 (roughly Rs 41 lakh) of the stolen funds. Some viewers referred to it as a "staged" act, despite the fact that the audience was pleased that the YouTuber got his money back.
