Well, looking at the amount you have lost feels that it might be the biggest sad moment in your life but as we all are aware of the truth that bitcoin is atill anonymous, i think it is very unfeasible to recover lost crypto coins.
However you can keep the thread active, may be someone have got such a techniaue to find out scammer. Have a good luck
Topic: Stolen BTC Bounty - page 2. (Read 492 times)
A couple of months ago, almost all my BTC were stolen from my laptop. As I was really upset about it, I decided to distance myself from the forums and everything else, but now that I've decided to come back; I want answers.
The funds have ended up here; https://www.blockchain.com/es/btc/address/1JSmxSp4ULs7bYaQEkoHjQszFcfpFQs6gP, before being separated into 2 different addresses.
The bounty goes as follows: 10% of what I lost, to whoever is able to recover my money. I might be open to negotiations, but only once the money has been recovered
Kind regards

What I want to add is why wait till now to want to go after your funds as you are very much aware that the moment a transaction has one confirmation, it is already becoming impossible to get back now we are talking of transaction that have happened for months. I won't be surprised that even though you can trace the funds to the last known location, it might have changed hands severally from one person to another, to exchange sites, gambling sites, back to another individual who probably have more firewalls than you can ever think of. The best since you have been able to survived for the past months, I would advice that you move on and the bounty you are offering, I doubt if someone who is able to get through would want to hand over any thing back to you in addition to asking for upfront payment is surely an indication for you to part away with more.
Really sorry for your lose....
But how you expect anyone to help you in this ? If you really knows how BTC work you should know that no one on earth can help you retrieve your BTC back, unless you trace your BTC to someone you know in real life, I do not thing there is any chance you get your BTC back .

That's the point, my idea is that maybe someone has seen the address where everything has ended up and knows who it belongs to; even if that might be being too lucky. Other option would be if someone was nice enough to hack the hacker
Tough luck... and sorry to bear the bad news but I'm afraid it's impossible for anyone to retrieve the funds for you, if indeed it was stolen by an unknown hijacker. And don't fall for anyone who might be able to tell you otherwise, at least, not to pay anything upfront to get it back.
The best you can do, I'd say, is to try and identify the person who stole it (are you sure no one from your family or friends did this? You did, after all, sign in via your friend's network). It could be your device was simply used by someone who guessed your password to sign and broadcast from your own Electrum?
You could also try sending messages to those addresses... in the hope that the thief might respond or negotiate some kind of return. I believe this has actually worked in the past, as long as you appeal to their sense of ego. Some people wouldn't agree with me on this though, but hackers have a certain personality that sometimes makes this possible.
Hopefully, you've already swept your device clean?

No way my friends did that, she doesn't even know how to connect her Nintendo DS to the internet. I don't think that they will ever answer, a lot of tima has passed ever since and I really doubt that. Computer was completely cleant after that. But the funny thing is that of the 3 wallets I had, only one was emptied
Was the laptop hacked, or was it stolen or physically used to send the coin to another address?
I assume it was hacked, since no one on the room had knowledge of bitcoin at the time things happened, and besides, the for obvious reasons, didn't know my password.
I may add a few more details, since I think I've been a bit vague on the OP.
I was using Electrum as my wallet, not Multi-sig since I had had a bit of an emergency and didn't have enough time to use the 2FA. I was at a friends' house, and the moment I opened my wallet to add the 2FA, I saw an outgoing transaction that had been created less than 1 minute before I opened the wallet itself.
Can you sign a message from the electrum address that originated the transaction to prove it belongs to you?
Sure I do

You're delusional. Take responsibility and grow up.
If anybody would have the skills to get those funds, they would keep them for themselves. Why send them to you? For 10%. It's ridiculous.

I won't erase this because it's the perfect example of what fits into the description of a shitty post on my last answer.
You are not providing anything useful to the discussion, and attacking me with your hurting words. Besides, it may be new for you but there is some people that are called white-hats for a reason; and that is what I'm looking for.
I already know I made a mistake by not activating the 2FA when creating the wallet, and I assume those BTC will never come back. But you never know

Why self-moderate this thread if you truly want advice and help from the public? You should leave it open to suggestions as you never can tell how the help you seek comes.
My humble take...
My humble take...
It's open to suggestions, even if my goal is that someone does the work, instead of me (reason for the bounty). I self moderated the topic because I'm used to doing so to avoid what I consider shitty comments/personal vendettas. I don't plan on deleting common sensed posts
