A one-line first-hand account: the poster says they are back at square one and that they and their family are in ruins, and names NVK as responsible. No amount, device model, firmware version or date of loss is given, and no supporting material is attached. Held as part of the victim record, where the site preserves owner accounts as they were published rather than only the ones carrying detail. The loss and its cause are the poster's own claim and are not verified here.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
