The word "customize—was it just the name that was customized? Will there be no possibility of other things being placed in the wallet? Did the Betnomi contract ledger reflect the name custom on the wallet? I'm just asking, as there could be a lot of possibilities to consider when thinking about security. Well, everyone can't just leave by assumption. Maybe a few of the members who won the raffle are not newbies, and I believe they will have an idea of how to verify if a wallet has been compromised or not, and if yes, they could have possibly raised an alarm here on the forum, unless they are not being used, as many people will probably have other hardware wallets already in use excluding that one.

It seems to me very risky to use Ledger wallet gifted by Betnomi as they have scammed their customers now. If they backup the information of this wallet in advance then it seems to me a highly insecure wallet to hold coins. So those who got these wallets should really think seriously about how they will deal with this situation and whether they will trust Betnomi again or not. Let's see what those who received these gifts decide on this matter.

With their scam exit plan, I think they probably set up some backdoors to plan stealing more coins from more victims.

First of all, The raffle is random so they don’t know exactly what’s the bankroll of the winner. There’s a possibility that the price of the ledger is higher than the winners crypto balance. The device is completely seal and officially customized by Betnomi to
Ledger. The winner can easily check whether their hardware wallet device is compromised if the seal is already tampered.

Betnomi has a lot of of promotion aside from that giveaway so I really doubt that this accusation is possible.

Probably? More like an unsubstantiated rant and a very unlikely scenario. There is absolutely no evidence to support such claims

Unlikely? Betnomi getting shutdown was unlikely as well until they actually did. What evidence do you need to believe that a proven scammer may have something installed on the device to steal crypto? Well I'm not really much informed about whether Ledger can be tracked in such way or not; there's nothing wrong to be secure. No one should use the wallet; in fact, it was a big no from the beginning.

This is highly unlikely to happen, although the possibility will not go down to zero. Those HD looks like a customized ledger nano x which is partnered with Ledger. I never heard a stealing backdoor inserted to a hardware wallet, most used are social engineering tactics, phishing websites and already used HD after opening the box, means the seed is backup somewhere already.

Probably? More like an unsubstantiated rant and a very unlikely scenario. There is absolutely no evidence to support such claims, and Sorsis had much more convenient ways to steal other people's crypto. I'm not saying that he wasn't a very shady character (due to his alleged hacking and carding history), and many people warned about it from the very beginning of the Betnomi saga, but this is going to extremes. Not that I would use a Ledger device anyway, but that's for a completely different reason.
