It's too fake, do you remember your twelve mnemonic words?

The wallet is interrogated, $220,000 evaporated in an instant! A real crypto nightmare

It was just an ordinary night.

A few drinks, some casual chat, mentioning that I use Metamask. Thought no one would care.

Until I woke up in a cold warehouse—bound, with three masked men surrounding me, one holding pliers, one staring at a screen, and one fixated on me.

What they wanted was not money, but my mnemonic phrase.

They were willing to use violence to get it.

The next few hours were hell. Hands smashed, electric shocks, threats against my child. In the end, I broke down and revealed those 12 words.

In a matter of minutes, $220,000 worth of crypto assets were emptied.

I was left there, bleeding, broken, my assets reduced to zero.

This is a true story. Don't let it happen to you.

Cold wallets can save lives: an offline wallet could have protected all my assets.

Don't trust SMS verification: only biometric or app two-factor authentication is reliable.

Set up bait wallets: keep some change in virtual accounts to buy time in critical moments.

Silence is the safest: don't disclose how much crypto you have, don't flaunt profits on social media.

Don't let security fall behind: use platforms with security capabilities, only trust money you can control.

This is the reality of the crypto world in 2025.

A global hunt is unfolding.

Crypto gives you freedom, but it can also land you in jail.

Self-preservation is the true "on-chain survival rule."
