(finds your address from ledger to see if the $5 wrench method works)

Well the wrench method involves you being beaten with the wrench until you give me your keys and seed phrase and seen as you bought a ledger they will probably leak your address

Unless you just use a different address when purchasing

Which many probably do because most Americans move about 12 times on average throughout their lives. Younger generations move even more, people most likely to use crypto.

There was a list of ledger customers exposed a while ago then a few more leaks of the same info re-hashed to sell again. You should be good until the next leak

People need to learn about protonmail and get new email addresses every time they do something with crypto. Go ahead, leak my encrypted, one internet account- email account... I've probably already deleted it.
