    If someone told you you just threw away over $6 million worth of bitcoins, well you wouldn't be too happy. You can imagine how James Howells from Wales felt when he discovered that he had thrown away his hardrive containing over 7,000 bitcoins. The value of Bitcoins has reached an all time high so now Mr Howells is frantically searching his local tip in the hope of retrieving his fortune

      It actually hurts and brings tears to my eyes when I read comments of scammed victims ripped off by BINARY OPTIONS AND FAKE HACKERS. I know actually how it feels and hurts to lose money you have worked half of your life to invest with the thought of getting higher returns......Sometime in January I invested a total of $50k in a period of 1weeks with my broker. My bonus/profit was over $500,000 But every attempt to make withdrawal failed and I was instructed to make another deposit of $20,000 before I can make withdrawals which I did. Up till now, I’m still unable to make withdrawals and all attempt to contact my broker has failed. This is very pathetic and I felt so sad losing my investment. I did a due diligence test before investing with them but guess what I ended up getting scammed. Who would have believed this. When I saw a comment by Allison Bambara, who managed to recover all his lost funds through the help of Mr. James Steven Brain, who's an expert in making recovery of lost funds. Well I did it 50/50 which means I can’t lose my money to scammers anymore. So I gave him a try and he successfully helped me in recovering all that I've lost. This is to create awareness, not everybody can be as lucky as I was. I’m saying this because I was able to recover my funds. Thanks to James Steven Brain recovery team, they are private investigator and funds recovery experts…Feel free to reach out to him at email for help.
