Title: Stolen BTC analysis pls
Post by: glon on July 10, 2013, 12:06:26 PM
Recently I've had 1.9BTC stolen from my Gox account:

And I've been following the "trail" ever since, all the way to here:

But I'd be lying if I could say the trail makes any sense to me. Can somebody well-versed in the blockchain try and analyze WTF has been happening to my coins? I'm not hoping to uncover the thief's identity or anything, just curious what people like him do with stolen coins. It looks like he's combining various inputs and in the last instance, he's also receiving all sorts of 0.001BTC inputs? Sorry but I'm afraid I'm not even using the correct terminology here, lol. Thanks for your efforts! :D

Perhaps he's just messing with you by shifting the money around his own addresses and making you go nuts trying to figure out what he's doing with it?

In all seriousness, all the information extractable from the blockchain is coin movement between addresses and derivatives of such. If you think "he's" doing anything you may be wrong because it could just as easily be an algorithm managing and organizing his money. If it's still the same dude. It may have passed through at least 4 "hands".

It's likely he could have put it into some sort-of coin mixing service, and that could be why your coins are taking on some crazy trail to nowhere.
If he placed them into an exchange like MtGox or BTC-e, both exchanges have extremely strange internal coin handling, it's likely that most of that trail is the coins just moving around inside exchanges like MtGox, BTC-e, or Bitstamp.

With nothing more than BTC addresses to work with, how can anyone possibly know who the thief is?

I specifically said I am not hoping to uncover his identity. Only would like someone to look into the transactions on the chain and try to guesstimate where the coins might be going?

In reality, he probably mixed the coins through a shared wallet.

What does that mean and did you actually look into the transactions to come to this conclusion?
