Title: Bitcoins Stolen
Post by: exze on August 26, 2011, 02:31:22 AM
Checked my acct on silkroad only to notice that someone made a withdrawal on my account, leaving me with .01. I contacted the website about it, but is there really any hope of getting them back?

Money stolen by anonymous internet drug dealers typically doesn't have a high rate of return.

No, you will not get your coins back as transactions are irreversible. I severely doubt it, but it is possible* that the service operator (silkroad) could credit your account (out of his own pocket). Bottom line: Trust no-one, check your OS for spyware / malware (assuming Windows).

I had the same problem, and wrote to support. And after some days half of money was returned. So write them right now :)

Oof....only half got back? Do they have a policy on this kind of issue? Did they give you a clue on how they disappeared like that? I'm new, but I thought silk road was one of the more solid marketplaces for bitcoin transactions.
