What concerns FBI with cryptocurrency when it is not a legitimate government money?

You invest in it, you get scammed, you bear the loss.

The FBI only investigated Hushpuppi and Co. because it involved companies through Business Email Compromise (BEC).
If majority of those who lost their money are Americans, trust me they will be involved!

If zenith acccount is hacked...they will still pay me my money...if my bitcoin account is hacked, who will I report to??

Lol. The hacked funds is useless to the hacker that's why the network is locked and he has no choice than to return it.

If it's ur personal wallet, you only have to suffer the responsibility that comes with it because it's personal, you're ur own bank.

Nevertheless, so many Nigerian banks has shut down in the past and funds didn't return.

You forgot to add that the thieves were caught within two hours cool

And 600 million dollars was already back and safe? Lol

PS, juxtapose this with the fact that [b] northern bandits kidnapper businessmen have ransoms paid directly into their bank accounts and make calls with their mobile phones yet the gallant police can't trace them for arrest grin

How many of their southern counterparts have been caught? Or, kidnappers no dey south again?

So why create crypto when you know a faceless criminal can steal the whole thing.
If the criminal can't be tracked then he has become another celebrity

But they can’t sped it

Those hackers might be smart, I don't think they will withdraw all the money at once, perhaps, little by little.
They won't withdraw all at once. They might involve the use of mixers to make it harder to trace. But depending on those who are victims of the hack, they can decide to dedicate a fraction of the hacked money to anyone or organisation will to use its resources to track the hacker or authorities might get involved. I just know the hacker will find it difficult to spend the money!

In its letter Poly Network said: "The amount of money you have hacked is one of the biggest in defi [decentralised finance] history.

Laughing at the usual gimmick they always use to hoodwink the gullible ones. MMM used the same tactics, attacking governments, banks and other financial institutions. What happened at the end of the day? Wailing and crying by the not so "smart investors".

I giggled when Paul said Bitcoins was very safe and cannot be hacked. There's actually nothing made by man that cannot be hacked.

And has bitcoin been hacked?

Bro you actually sound very ignorant rn,exchange being hack is not the same as a network or chain being hacked and it'll interest you to know that tether has already seized $33million from the hackers and also we've already knew a lot of informations about the hackers,so they're not going too far.

A certain company’s wallet was hacked years ago. Over $200m in Bitcoin was moved, till today nobody knows where the money went to.

We’re talking of hackers and you’re thinking I’m talking about lower scum like “yahoo boys”? I’m talking about stone cold professionals who know what they’re doing.

Do you know how much in btc has been stolen over the years?
Certain company no get name. Just as they are hackers, the hackers also get people wey pass them! The best these hackers can do is not spend the $600 million!

You should read it with thine own eyes cos the last thing I want to be engaged in is one outdrawn argument.

But I’ll leave you this, I have it as fact that statistically in 2019, $4.5bn in crypto was lost/stolen/missing. $1.9bn in 2020 and $681m this year so far. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/business-58163917.amp

All I’m saying is, if they were the ones that pulled that popular heist in China all those years ago cos all indications point that this heist was done in their modus operandi, then nobody is catching and nobody is recovering shit!

I already mentioned you with a link pointing to a collection of crypto hacks. There you’ll find the name of the company I’m talking about. So it won’t be like I’m manufacturing facts.

Cryptocurrency is money meant for thieves. The design of the money is intrinsically dubious.

If your bitcoin account is hacked, you should be flogged hundred times!
There's Google authentication, sms and email (3FA) to protect your wallet. If you are foolish enough to give them out or you give out your seed phrase willingly, then you should be flogged.

Why do you just assume hacking only involves crafting a tricky social engineering gimmick that will collect user logins and security keys?

Bro, pro hackers will hack your gmail, crypto wallets, bank apps and you will be non the wiser.

Hackers will hack my Gmail, still hack my Google authenticator on my phone that refreshes every 15 seconds and also my MTN SIM that receives sms, all at the same time? Bro have sense!
I can't count the amount of phishing links hackers have sent to me, from PayPal to Amazon, all in a bid to hack my account!
I'm not foolish. I don't intsall all sorts of apps and third party apps on phone. I don't share USBs on my laptop either.

Because that's the only way you can try to hack me! Except you try to hack the exchange or website where I am registered and steal their funds, not me directly.

Should we also say the Naira and Dollars are money meant for thieves, since Nigerian politicians are steadily stealing billions daily!
