Looks like its not only one guy. Someone claims that the hacker has their pre-launch database: https://twitter.com/DanDarkPill/status/806091271450267648

Are the rumors true that one of the developers of Augur is having a mental breakdown? It was said that he was tweeting weird stuff saying that Ethereum is a Russian honey pot or something, and also that Vitalik controls Ethereum totally making the platform not ideal for dapps. Maybe that is what's making the price fall, that developer could be dumping right now.

Quoting above from another thread.  Could this have been going almost a week (nov 30th was above post)? This augur dev guy has 100,000 rep on polo and wasn't able to secure his polo account for a week?  Must be more to this story.

I'd suggest you to stop post your nonsense here, because I'll mark you as a spammer and will paint you in red like every LEOcoin shill deserves.

Exchanges commonly say they've been hacked and all the coins were stolen. There's always speculation it was an inside job like with cryptsy. Although there will be speculation the augur dev guy is behind it, without proof it will only be speculation. It's suspicious that a dev would put so many coins on polo. If he was planning to dump them he can't have much faith in his coin, or did he put them on polo so they could get 'stolen'?

I transferred some BTC, and the transaction confirmed minutes after the price of REP went back up. 
Wish I woke up five minutes earlier so I could grab some cheap Augur.... >:(

There is some chance.
1. Real hacked caused by the criminal activities like phishing, hacking and other
2. Silly scenarios have made by him totally there is a conspiracy for that. I have heard if he was securing it in polo.

What is the matter with you? It is all true. Bo Shen is one of the heads of Fenbushi Capital. So it is doubtful he is the one making all those tweets. He was hacked. That is the only explanation why. I do not think he is a person who will do something like this just to manipulate the price of ETH and REP.

What is fishy is the hacker's actions. If his motivation was to hack and steal, why would he make all those stupid tweets? Why is he taking the risk of exposing himself. Something tells me the hacker has another agenda.

I just read about this on coindesk facebook. What's bad is that the hackers plan on continuing this shit. Its bad for business and bad for crypto.

Wonder if it's true like in other crime that the criminals have to brag eventually about what they did.

I don't trust anyone in Crypto, there is high probability that this is a staged hack, like the Bitfinex hack which allowed some people to short Bitcoin. Lack of adequate investigation in Crypto space is making market manipulation through hacking to thrive

It's just like play mini games. They were fooling us being a little child. The same fucking scenario.  Augur scenarios were attacking us.

Yeah Bitcoin has never ever been hacked. Besides this is the most galling attempt at fud from one of the largest shitpost trolls as there as yet been no proof of a hack. But don't let anything like proof get in your way of posting downright sensationalist claptrap lies. Eh?

So basically looks like - the hacker is tracked right now, according to this article  (https://cointelegraph.com/news/stolen-altcoins-trailed-in-augur-ethereum-hack-investigation)

https://cointelegraph.com/storage/uploads/view/7e52fa5f6b365b880683053a5e51b368.png

These exchanges must have at least his IP address.

This was a professional hacking job. Do you think even if they have the IP they will catch the hackers? I don't think so.

Will it be his real IP address? With a hack this big he has to spend some money to go to another town and connect to the internet from there. He will also use a VPN and Tor to hide his tracks. Once all the bitcoins he stole goes to different bitcoin mixing services, it will be really hard to track him now.

Whoever did this knows what they are doing. There is zero chance that they were using their real IP address.
It will be very hard to track them. The only chance of finding them is attempting to follow transactions and look for large withdraws of Bitcoin.
But it will take a lot of work, looking at multiple accounts, exchanges and mixing services. Eventually if they try and cash out to a fiat currency, it may be possible to tie a transaction to a real identity.
But they arent stupid, and they will be living in some county like Russia where its hard to prosecute them from a foreign county anyways.
It will take a big mistake to get caught.

If the hacker wasn't using the encrypt connection, and it will be possible for track them, but the different word the hacker use the encrypt connection and may they use the mixer for that? I don't think the hacker will be sending it into their wallet for directly. Everyone can trace him maybe.

Just shows the strong belief and potential in Ethereum and Augur. Luckily I managed to bag some more on the trough.

Right? For some moments when the chatter came up about the hack, I tried looking at ETH prices and couldn't discern anything more than a blip. I think it speaks volumes against the naysayers of ETH. Not an advocate myself, but looking to support an alt with substance and you have to give some credit to the tenacity of ETH!

Indeed. It takes time to design, build and implement a nascent new technology like ETH.
