He asked his wife to help transfer some coins, and as a result, over 2 million in assets were stolen. "I just asked her to click on the transfer button, and all the coins disappeared..."

This is a man who sent us a plea for help at 2 AM.

He is almost going crazy.

He originally had nearly 2.3 million USDT in his wallet, which was savings accumulated from years of hard work in the crypto world.

That day, he had to go on a business trip and asked his wife to make a transfer for him:

"Just copy the mnemonic phrase I sent you, log into the wallet, and transfer to this address."

After his wife completed the operation, she said, "It's been transferred."

When he got off the plane and checked his phone, the coins were gone.

And it wasn't a case of "wrong transfer"; it was—

his wallet was completely emptied.

After our investigation, the truth is heart-wrenching:

He sent a screenshot of the mnemonic phrase to his wife via WeChat.

She copied the mnemonic phrase to log into the wallet, but she did it on an old Android phone connected to the family WiFi, which had multiple financial apps and domestic plugins installed.

The hacker had long since controlled a monitoring plugin in a certain browser, automatically identifying the mnemonic phrase format in the clipboard content. Once identified, it would be uploaded to the server.

In other words:

The coins weren't lost due to her mistake; they were taken over the moment she opened the wallet.

His wife was devastated, repeatedly saying, "I just followed the instructions; I didn't even touch the transfer..."

And he, in more pain:

"I can't blame her; it's my fault for not thinking clearly."

When he reported it, he was questioned, "Is it a family member's operational error, which belongs to a civil dispute?"

The police wouldn't accept the case, family members felt guilty, money was gone, and no one could understand his breakdown.

📣 A reminder to everyone: never do these things:

Send a screenshot of your mnemonic phrase to family members (even if they are trusted)

Let family members log into your wallet on devices that have not undergone risk isolation

Use phones that have installed "acceleration tools," "free VPNs," or "financial plugins" to perform transfers

It's easy for family members who do not understand authorization or wallets to mishandle your assets and get hacked.

If you also encounter situations like "assets stolen after family/friend operations" or "everything was fine before the transfer, but disappeared after the operation," don't delay. A lot of evidence will be cleaned up in a few days.
