Title: Over 127,000 Bitcoins stolen!!! Post by: Elwar on September 14, 2011, 06:16:27 PM Over 127,000 Bitcoins have been stolen!
Quote LOS ANGELES — A longtime Democratic campaign accountant whose clients included U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein siphoned off nearly $700,000 from a California candidate to pay her credit cards, a mortgage and business bills, federal prosecutors said Tuesday. Kinde Durkee, who heads Durkee & Associates in Burbank, Calif., was arrested Friday on suspicion of mail fraud by the FBI. Durkee has served as a bookkeeper for scores of candidates — her company website says five presidential campaigns. Democrats were scouring records to determine if they might have been victimized.

This is a huge hit for the Federal Reserve Note as a currency...this should send the dollar spiraling downward until such loopholes can be fixed. Title: Re: Over 127,000 Bitcoins stolen!!!

In an elaborate ‘shell game,’ Durkee used clients’ funds to pay for medical bills, credit card expenses and trips to CostCo where she ran a prostitute ring.

Title: Re: Over 127,000 Bitcoins stolen!!! Post by: Elwar on September 14, 2011, 07:26:48 PM And how is this a "bitcoin" discussion? Because any time someone steals Bitcoins or a scam is done using Bitcoins, it is big news. Yet when it is dollars the article focuses on the crime...not on the currency.

Post by: PinkiePie on September 14, 2011, 10:31:31 PM No need for foul language, but I hope the police finish their investigation soon and manage to recover the missing bitcoins.

Post by: fcmatt on September 15, 2011, 05:28:52 AM At least when someone steals dollars there is sometimes a penalty for doing so for the person who took them.
In the bitcoin world someone steals bitcoins and nothing happens to the person who took them. Unless of course whining on this forum and much gnashing of teeth counts.
