it says spent and what does that mean
It typically means money was received in one transaction and later spent in a second, separate transaction. It is a historical record. You no longer have that money.
It did not arrive to the wallet i sent it too!
It may be due to one of ...
- The transaction fee was too low and you need to be patient.
- Your receiving wallet isn't synchronised or has some other problem.
- You sent the money to a different address than the one you expected.
- The recipient is not telling you the truth.
- You are the victim of some sort of scam.
I need it to be located ...
You can see the details of the spending transaction in any blockchain explorer by typing in the address and by typing in the transaction-Id of the transaction that spent the money.
Bitcoin is pseudo anonymous. This means you won't be easily able to identify a person or organisation associated with a receiving address. Without other information I doubt the recipient can be identified.
... and returned or sent to the wallet i gave
Since Bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed, the only way this can happen is if you know the recipient and persuade them to make a third transaction that pays you a similar amount.
Beware people offering to get your money back for a fee, this is a favourite trick of scammers.
