== About Ledger ==
"This just happened to me. Ledger live was drained. Nano s was not plugged in and the seed had been written down and put away for years. No one has access unless it was leaked by Ledger. Can anyone help??"

"they took 55k...You say it's impossible but it's not...."

"But it is possible, I'm not crying about a small amt of $. The seed was not leaked by me, but maybe by ledger. I have all addresses, but what can really be done. I can see that the thief immediately transferred to Kucoin. I need a pro that can actually do something. thanks"
