I got robbed of 45.8 BTC (and BCH so total = 150000$) after installing the executable from electrum-wallet.com.



I was running multisig but both on the same PC. First i ran the portable electrum.exe from electrum-wallet.com but when it did not load my wallets *NOTE : the ones that had BTC in them ,it loaded just fine any other wallet ) - I don't want to hear opinions on my stupidity



After it didn't work i downloaded last version of electrum from electrum.org



I'm wondering how the F is it possible that after 2 years of this thread no one has taken down and/or announced the US. authorities fbi etc about it.



I'm in Romania and have no wish to deal with this legally, which will probably get me nowhere.







I am willing to split the rights on the BTC with whoever is capable of recovering them via detective+legal means.



This is the transaction :





As i said , I don't want to hear opinions on my stupidity, this is mostly a warning and hopefully a way for someone to make a healthy 75000$. If you can, please make this a sticky , people NEED to be warned and i need to find someone to recover 150kusd and get 75kusd for it (Relative to current BTC + BCH prices )I got robbed of 45.8 BTC (and BCH so total = 150000$) after installing the executable from electrum-wallet.com.I was running multisig but both on the same PC.

Have you tried restoring from seed, even if you only get your BCH back it would be something.

Electrum-wallet.com isn't the website for Electrum.



Sorry to hear that you lost your BTC, it seems very unlikely that you will get them back, but you can but try.

45 BTC is quite alot. I think your best bet would be to email

Maybe put a small hint that you have been robbed off of 45 BTC equal to XXX amount of USD and that you are pressing legal charges and will inform your authorities of this, also whoever registered the domain is using Namecheaps service WhoisGuard for anonymity which you could question and threaten that you report this to ICANN for their view on this matter. According to ICANN, "The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) broadly requires the mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address of those owning or administrating a domain name to be made publicly available through the "WHOIS" directories."



Which means that anonymous domain registrations aren't allowed and that mailing adress, phone number and email to the person administrating the site should be public information.



It is a long shot, but my best bet would be to email the domain provider and explain the matter and question how they are currently supporting criminal activities and also witholding important information on the person who is scamming users. Wow, that is crazy to hear. The site is an absolute scam and everyone should report it.45 BTC is quite alot. I think your best bet would be to email abuse@namecheap.com and ask for the owner of the registered domain electrum-wallet.comMaybe put a small hint that you have been robbed off of 45 BTC equal to XXX amount of USD and that you are pressing legal charges and will inform your authorities of this, also whoever registered the domain is using Namecheaps service WhoisGuard for anonymity which you could question and threaten that you report this to ICANN for their view on this matter.

I expect them to shutdown the site and I'm waiting for their reply.



Once they reply we'll see if they are willing to cooperate or not, but its hard to say how much information they have on the owner of the domain. Obviously the whole possibility of anonymous domain registration and bitcoin payment will probably make this one hard to crack
