Investigating Bitcoin Theft at House of Life Charity

Episode 196 of The Watchman Privacy Podcast – Investigating Bitcoin Theft at House of Life Charity

Gabriel Custodiet and Urban listen to the victims of a scary and tragic Bitcoin scam that affected a would-be donor to an El Salvador charity helping rape victims and others in need. Alejandra Guajardo (the organizer of the charity) and Ali (the victim of the scam) give their perspective of what happened, andhow the wallet in question (Atomic Wallet) responded to them. Urban then explains where the funds possibly ended up, and what we can do to make sure this doesn’t happen to the rest of us. Please consider raising funds for this charity, which was cheated out of this crucial donation, at: https://geyser.fund/project/recoverfundsforhouseoflife
