Yes, this is an unpleasant situation. One must be careful in such cases and not act alone. It is always better to come with a friend or relative, so that at least one person can control the situation.
this situation is difficult to solve on other people, my advice should be such affairs resolved with people close, I agree with you

You made very big mistake. 1,5 bitcoin it is not like few dollars. You should take your flash drive together. Reporting this to the police can be problematic, so it is hard to help

Such a big mistake you made there buds. You know how crypto works. You should never trust anyone. Establishments keep saying that you shouldn't leave your things unattended. This people is ready for you, they know hacking stuffs that you don't know. I don't think police can help us due to lack of evidence. They must have a powerful tool or at least they have the same exact USB you brought and exchanged it.

When dealing with a complete stranger and value like crypto. It is always better to make sure you check constantly and never trust the person.

Would you leave some one with $10,000 of your cash for 3 minutes?
Silly mistake, probably good as gone, if you have his real details you can try the police, theft is theft, doesn't matter what it is.

WTF were you thinking?

There is GDAX or Coinbase for this very purpose.  Unless you really know the person you are dealing with, trying to save on transaction fee (and/or tax) by doing this risky deal is dumb (sorry).

If you have the emails, they may be able to track the owner of the email? But if you go to the police, you may also have some problems if you didn't declare your bitcoin in your tax declaration as they may also search more information about you...
And i don't know if they would take the time to try to catch the thief...

Never leave your wallet alone... You also have the emails of that person? You should declare this to the police.

No tangible assets are stolen. Bitcoin in most countries does not recognized as the digital currency. What can the police do in this case?

I agree with you ) but it was not possible to invite relatives.. and friends were away.. just be careful friends! this post will be a proof that anything is possible

Never leave your wallet alone... You also have the emails of that person? You should declare this to the police.

Letters there is, even there is number the phone. But the police won't take a statement. Because they won't be able to find out where BTC were listed .. the situation is lost.. be vigilant)  Wink


Ouch. Bad experience for sure. It is a reminder that you always need to keep an eye on your investment.
That and investing in security is the safe way to keep your investment.

Yes I agree with you but if not trust all. it is possible to become crazy

Good afternoon evening night)
I want to say when I lose something that I still try to believe that I still got something.... and it is an experience and it is priceless)))
Ah so here is the situation the next.. on one site announcements I uploaded the Intel that will sell 1.5 bitcoin without commissions )
Two days later, the message arrived in the mail... with a request to meet ...in anticipation of the meeting I took the flash drive with the keys and went to coffee in our city...
The meeting with the buyer was simple.. nothing complicated stick lying in the pocket of his jacket ... I went to the bathroom for 3 minutes....
come he says well, let's see your chops... well, I'm like come on... eventually... my flash drive was empty.... as Huh AS I can not understand... is within 3 minutes, really all to bear with the stick to remove and hit the road... I wanted to see the cameras later... but the cameras aren't shooting at that place... more shortly... sell everything in your network from the comfort of home )
Maybe someone will help... And if there are people in the know explain how they pulled it off...
