BuddyBuddy Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I recently was a victim of a burglary and a very large and extremely heavy safe was stolen out of my house and it contained my Ledger Nano S WITH my 24 recovery words. I was planning on moving them to a safety deposit box but I didn't do it in time. I'm an idiot, I know but I never imagined 3 men walking out of my house with my safe that they could barely lift. I can see that the XRP has not been accessed on the xrpcharts.ripple.com but is there ANY way to lock them up or access them with a court order? Is there ANYTHING anyone can think of? I'm almost positive the thieves don't know what they have. There is a very large amount of XRP on there so this will be extremely painful if they are all lost. Any advice would be helpful.

Prometheus_Rising Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Do you have a copy of your secret key? starts with "s" 29 digits long. If you do, create an cold wallet and transfer XRP to new wallet. Just search the forum for detailed instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRPisVELOCITY Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 If anyone has any ideas it can't hurt to give him some advice. I have no idea what can be done. BuddyBuddy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought to give BuddyBuddy the benefit of the doubt. Waiting to see what the response is before I either help or ignore. With all of the FUD doing the rounds I am suspicious of posts like this as well. Edited March 23, 2018 by Prometheus_Rising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants you to say, call David Schwartz, tell him to hit the freeze and return assets button. Deux and BuddyBuddy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prometheus_Rising Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 The elephant in the room is the question: ownership of digital assets. To my understanding, there is no "ownership". There is only the secret key that grants permission to modify entries related to the corresponding address on the ledger. Who ever has the knowledge of the secret key has the ability to transfer/trade etc any tokens related to that "wallet". In the case of the ledger nano s, you give permission to the nano to "look after your secret key" and by proxy you access using the 24 word pass-phrase. Moral of the story...... always keep a copy of your secret key backed up/hidden/secure etc as this is your only right of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
