To everyone,
It's your pal Jake with an exciting update.
As most of you know, I founded Great Bear Wax Co. as a way to capture the memories of where I’m from. Sharing stories by the campfire, hitting the trail, and spending time in nature. Every scent we have is deeply meaningful to me.
As I look back on the past 8 years, I very fondly remember taking candles from shop to shop asking owners to buy in to this new project I had. I think about loading the car full of candles, tents, Piper pup, and myself, to make the trek from Birmingham to Joshua Tree after being invited to vend at a festival in the desert. I have dear friends in New York, Montana, California, and just about everywhere else in America because of these candles. I am unbelievably grateful for what it has provided me thus far and very humbled by all of you who have supported us since 2013.
Though running Great Bear has been the challenge and delight of my adult life, last year I started feeling ready to explore other passions. While stepping away from something you made is a very difficult decision, I found the right partners to continue the Great Bear legacy and the perfect crew to take the business to the next level.
I’m still involved with Great Bear in a consultant capacity, but I hope you get to know the new owners – The Leitners and The Houstons. I am very excited for this brand to live on with them, their families, and with you in your homes.
I sincerely hope you continue to burn bear in your home. I know I will.
I will love you forever for taking this journey with me,
Jake

After over 30 years in the cockpit as a commercial pilot, flying across continents and safely landing thousands of passengers, I was ready for retirement. Like many others, I had put part of my earnings into cryptocurrency—Bitcoin, specifically—as a long-term investment. Over time, that small investment grew substantially, eventually reaching £2,000,000. It wasn’t just a number on a screen; it was my safety net, my future, my reward for decades of hard work and sacrifice. Then, in a single moment, it was all gone. I logged into my crypto wallet one morning and was met with an empty balance—zero. My entire portfolio had vanished. What I later learned was that I had been the victim of a sophisticated form of cyber theft known as cryptojacking. The hackers had exploited vulnerabilities in my system, compromised my private keys, and stealthily transferred every last coin to their own wallets. The feeling? Crippling. I reached out to every avenue I could think of—banks, law enforcement, online crypto forums—but the answer was always the same: “There’s nothing we can do.” I was devastated. It felt like years of planning and saving had been erased overnight. That was until I came across.COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE Naturally, I was cautious. The internet is riddled with “recovery experts” who prey on victims twice. But from my first contact with Coinsrecoveryworldwide, the difference was obvious. Their team was transparent, knowledgeable, and deeply empathetic. They didn’t offer empty guarantees—they offered action, and more importantly, they delivered. Here’s what set them apart: Unmatched Technical Expertise Coinsrecoveryworldwide began by conducting an advanced forensic analysis of my case. They traced my stolen Bitcoin through multiple layers of obfuscation—including mixers, tumblers, and shadow wallets commonly used by criminals to launder crypto assets. Their team used blockchain analytics and cyber-intelligence tools to follow the trail where others had hit a dead end. Dark Web Surveillance and Server Penetration They didn’t stop at blockchain tracking. Using legal and ethical cyber-infiltration methods, they breached one of the attacker’s remote servers—uncovering a treasure trove of data: stolen credentials, transaction logs, and access routes. This breakthrough allowed them to identify the specific IPs and even the hardware fingerprints used during the theft. Collaboration with Exchanges and Global Partners Coinsrecoveryworldwide then leveraged their global network and worked directly with several crypto exchanges to flag, freeze, and intercept the stolen assets before they could be laundered or converted. They also collaborated with cybersecurity partners to neutralize parts of the botnet infrastructure the hackers had used. Successful Recovery Within weeks, 95% of my stolen funds—equivalent to £1,900,000—was securely returned to a new, uncompromised wallet. Watching that balance reappear felt like being rescued from a plane crash. I was overwhelmed with relief and gratitude. This experience has taught me that all is not lost after a scam—not when you have the right people in your corner. Coinsrecoveryworldwide didn’t just recover my funds. They restored my sense of justice, safety, and peace. They are not just another tech firm—they are specialists in real-world cybercrime intervention. They combine unmatched technical acumen with genuine care for the people they help. To anyone facing the same nightmare I went through: don’t give up. Coinsrecoveryworldwide is the real deal. If they could recover my £2,000,000 there’s hope for you too. Contact COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE Security Company 📧 Email:Coinsrecoveryworldwide@gmail.com

I had three evictions late last year which deprived me from purchasing an apartment for my family and my other apartment was not conducive for my family anymore but I couldn’t purchase any due to my low score so I decided to go online and search for a good hacker for help and that was how I met METRONET CREDIT SOLUTION for help, he’s a very good person and he explained how the hack will be helpful to me and to my greatest surprise he increased my credit score to 830 excellent plus and deleted the eviction on my credit report without any delay during the hacking process. I just moved in my new apartment with my family and I have no regrets working with Metronet. Hit him up through his email at Metronecreditsolution@gmail.com or Whatsapp: +1 (828)-817-1267.
$400,000 Gone Overnight… Until Boombavest Stepped In (Perth)
Our firm learned the hard way how unforgiving the digital world can be. We manage a small investment company, and one phishing email changed everything. With one wrong click, our business wallet was drained of $120,000. Overnight, we went from operating normally to facing chaos , furious investors, the threat of lawsuits, and the sinking feeling that we had failed the very people who trusted us with their money.
We tried everything we could think of. Our in-house team attempted to trace the blockchain transactions. We even hired an outside consultant who specialized in crypto forensics. But no matter how many hours we put in, the trail eventually went cold. Each dead end made the situation feel more hopeless, and the pressure kept mounting.
That’s when we came across a group called Boombavest. From the very first conversation, they treated us less like “clients” and more like partners in a joint mission. They were transparent about their process, careful in setting expectations, and clear about what was possible versus what wasn’t.
Over the following days, they conducted a deep forensic investigation. They traced the stolen funds across multiple wallets, identified the laundering exchange, and built a comprehensive report that we were able to pass directly to our legal team. The professionalism and clarity of their documentation alone gave us leverage we hadn’t had before.
And then came the breakthrough: within a short window, Boombavest was able to help us recover nearly 70% of the stolen funds. It wasn’t everything, but it was enough to stabilize our firm, reassure our investors, and prove that we were committed to protecting their interests no matter what.
The financial recovery mattered, but what mattered even more was the restoration of trust. Our investors saw that we weren’t giving up, and that we were willing to pursue every possible avenue to make things right. Boombavest didn’t just help us recoup money, they helped us preserve our credibility and keep our business alive.
