Trader loses $6.6M in Bitcoin after theft from new Ledger hardware wallet purchase

A crypto trader lost 80 Bitcoin, worth about $6.6 million, after transferring them to a new Ledger hardware wallet bought from a reseller named CryptoBilis. The coins were held on the device for 10 days before being stolen in a single transfer. Ledger has paused sales from the reseller and warned recent buyers not to set up their devices while investigating the incident. Estimates of total losses linked to this event have risen to as much as $90 million, with blockchain analytics firms and Tether freezing related funds as the investigation continues.

As of Oct 09, 2026 23:42 WIB, USDT (Tether) trades at Rp17.859 on Pluang with a slight 1-day change of -0.16%. The platform shows a market cap of Rp3.293,83 trillion and a 24-hour trading volume of Rp1.457,26 trillion, indicating active liquidity despite recent security concerns in the crypto space. The typical hold time for USDT on Pluang is 90 days, with a current order activity skewed towards 59% selling and 41% buying.
