FEATURE: The wild adventures of a father-son duo that go searching for stuck bitcoin by Timccopeland
Chris Brooks, 50, and his son Charlie, 20, run a bitcoin recovery service that has recovered seven figures worth of bitcoin in the last year.advertisement
Chris and Charlie hopped on a Zoom call with the prospective clients, who told them that they had won 5,000 bitcoin in a court case in around 2012 or 2013. As for the $3,000 a week they were supposedly able to withdraw, that was a bald-faced lie, according to Charlie. He started looking for a way to build a business around it. A programming engineer with 20 years of experience, he considered mining or automated trading strategies. Then he started coming across stories of people losing passwords to their bitcoin wallets and thought he would take a shot at starting a recovery service.
Typically the father and son will first jump on a video call with the client to get to know the problem. This is the moment where both sides are working out if they can trust each other. The client is looking to see if they feel safe handing over their passwords, while Chris and Charlie are looking to check if the client is being genuine about their story.
And while it can be tempting to chase after wallets that clients say contain a lot of crypto, as they found in Georgia, sometimes the treasury chest at the end of the rainbow is all but empty.In fact, according to Charlie, the whole business is very hit and miss, with 40-50% of wallets that they get inside turning out to be empty.
