Bitcoin Forum

Given all the recent thefts happening I think it would be good to have a section dedicated to bitcoin thefts on the website so we can start gathering information.

 We need just a single mistake from these thefts to catch them. Even if the likelihood they will make a such mistake is very low the information we gather can be useful.

there are many threads where people are tracking their lost BTC

perhaps section "thief" is not a best idea...

there are SCAM allerts so you can post a SCAM allert if you find some thief.

I think there would be too much ranting and begging going on unfortunately

Where can I find these SCAM alerts ?


I am currently looking for the owner of this address :

1Ne5bGjDdgmbsGdNK9ocwrQiWf8K1FTuSa


This guy hacked flexcoin, mt gox and thousands of blockchain wallets.

He traded on the otc markets on the 27-Feb with dmzpkts.

That's actuly too difficult (if even possible) to know the owner of the wallet.

Actually someone just found him I think.

Look at this taint analysis :

https://blockchain.info/taint/1D1U3vcxuY2wyrMdznsKU6PeM2Y72AnyRS


The ip address of the guy is :

24.179.35.69 (whois)


Is it correct or we are going the wrong way ?

This guy reaped off 58 millions dollars in Bitcoin !!!

Can someone confirm if this taint analysis is correct?  If this is the actual up address of the guy who owns this bitcoin address?

Even if you find them, what ya gonna do?

Send them the cops!! The guy stole for 58 millions dollars ! We are not talking little money here

lol good luck with that

Its actually simple.   Once he tries to get fiat, you investigate and make him prove source of income and fiat to bitcoin trail to support it.   If he can't verify source of income, confiscate the cash.

Yea if he sells it all on an exchange but what idiot would do that. If it was me I'd be selling for cash using summat like loacalbitcoins/friends and there going to be more ways of hiding it, that I can't think of right now. It's not as simple as u think.

Here we have his ip address !

ISPs have to disclose the physical address of the owner of this ip address if they receive a court order. So basically the cops can know where this guy lives.

Yea "if" they can get a court order and "if" he's not using a proxy or two. Also what if he spoofed his mac address and keeps is wallet offline n hidden and when the cops come for him there's no evidence to tie him to any crime.

if they have a warrant they can get everything in his home and believe me a guy who stole 58M also did a lot of bad things so they would have no issue finding something else on him

In theory they can get at everything but not that simple unless the crook admits to it and gives them the private key. if he's smart he won't have left much evidence behind and I very much doubt he has is private key just laying about for anyone to find.

You can't say he also did a lot of bad things nobody knows him, could be a good guy who just seen an opportunity and took it for all we know he/she might not even have a criminal record.

google this address 1Ne5bGjDdgmbsGdNK9ocwrQiWf8K1FTuSa and you will see that this guy did thousands of thefts.

It is not a single lonely guy job.
