Atomic Wallet questions viral claim of 633 XMR loss worth about $479,000

On January 16, 2026, Atomic Wallet reported online that it could not verify a user’s allegation of losing 633 Monero (around $479,000) through its platform. The company said no support ticket had been filed, screenshots were insufficient proof given Monero’s privacy, and noted unusual activity on the complainant’s X account. The user, posting as Nicolas van Saberhagen, blamed reliance on closed-source wallet software after claiming his XMR balance dropped to zero as the Monero network processed valid transactions.
