In 2011/2012 i was working for an international fasteners company, company was from U.S. and just had a year of operations in my country so i applied for a job as an account representative and i got the job, we had some dead times, so navigating the web in one of those dead times i came accross with some Bitcoin information in the dark web, i remember the price was like $2 USD for a single Bitcoin, i wanted to buy some weed in the dark net and started to buy some BTC for it and kept it in a Tor wallet... i realized in no time that it was a stupid thing to have drugs shipped to my country and coudnt find any site to exchange the btc to my currency so i forgot about it and left it there, i continued my job there and completely forgot about the btc.
So in 2016 i resigned to the job and read an online article saying BTC price reached $500 usd and was going up, i was out of a job and had all of my settlement money still intact, so i bought 4 BTC with that, by this time there was an exchange in my country so i made decent money when selling them when price got to $900. I taught that was the highest it could be. but price just kept going up and i started investigating more about bitcoin and crypto in general, price reached +$2500 usd per BTC and then a light bulb turned on above my head. I remembered the BTC i bought back in 2011/2012 and i found the wallet credentials, i managed to gather 100 BTC that i never used for the weed i intended to buy lol, and i found about this great site called HashOcean, it was supposed to be a Cloud Mining operation... But it wasn´t...it was a scam. I could get some BTC out but i reinvested it all untill the site went down and the scammers went away with a ridiculous ammount of BTC
...
So yeah.. that is the scam that blew me off 100 BTC weeks before the price reached $20,000 usd, it didn´t ruin my life, it made me angry for a while but i remembered the only stupid person in this story was me and it is a reminder that you cant be angry with you all the time...
To this day nobody knows who the scammers were, no formal investigation was conducted, and scammers are just living the life with the BTC of thousands of people...
Hope karma gets them soon, if not already...
