Somebody stole my bitcoins. I mistakenly thought to wrong man.

This is the 4th or 5th case today I have read about. Im guessing another key logger or some other form of malware/spyware

I think one of the Coins is a trojan/malware. But I don't know which exactly. Anyway he is a scammer and must pay or get ready to be banned.

Which coins have you installed the clients for recently?

Almost all existing.

In another thread you said you had programming knowledge. You also have an account on hackforums.net. I'd say you easily have enough knowledge to download a RAT builder and use it to steal Bitcoins. It wouldn't make sense for another hacker to launder coins through your wallet, since that would open them up to be taken by you, a so-called innocent victim. Now, I'm not saying that you did it. But Occam's Razor is.

It really wasn't him. My apologies.

Who stole your bitcoins then?

SOrry to hear that man. Shit happens. Now it is better to think about it as about bad experience and try not to lose next time.

Install malwarebytes and do a scan.
Report back with your results and if possible, the source of the infection. It might still be posted here.

Also: Encrypting your wallet is good, but won't do anything if someone placed a keylogger on your unsecured computer. Always have an up to date anti-virus running, also run a scan for every new coin wallet you download. I've seen several with trojan horses posted on new coin threads for people seeking the wallet.

Lastly: How much did you lose, and can you post your Public address and the transaction details? We might be able to track the thief down.

He admits it! ;D
