A Ledger Nano Hardware Crypto wallet was reportedly picked up in a public transport where the owner lost it by Ebenezer Oluwole at the Toll Gate Ibadan.
Ebenezer Oluwole on Twitter have identified picking up a Ledger Nano hardware crypto wallet which he claims was seen in a public transport where the owner lost it.
Some people were in shock as to why someone would be carrying such a treasureable device around. One twitter user @dj_modeep asked same question.
But could be it be that it was stolen and the person who stole didn’t know what to do with it and dropped it off at the public transport. That could be another angle to the incident but then the wallet as Adaeze exclaimed could contain someone’s life savings.
Some questions now comes to mind;
- Can the owner recover the funds if there are funds inside the hardware wallet? , Yes he can if he has the private keys with him.
- Can someone take the funds in it? No, someone without the details can necessarily do anything with the wallet.
