I don't think this belongs on Meta, but I'm not sure which board would be better.

There's a QR-code in the picture, you can send him some (small) funds using vanity addresses (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25804.0) to attach a message.

Update: read below first!

I wouldn't do that, that QR made me curious about something, and my hunch was right:

If that one is the original...god knows!

If he is looking someone, like what he said, then he should post it in a section that has the most activity coz it means more active people right? most likely in Bitcoin Discussion.

It seems like there is a person who edited the qr code hmm, it would be risky to send him now. Or you can send them both to make them happy haha

May we know why are you looking for this man?

The latter at least looks like the original. I don't see any signs of manipulation.

the QR code is covered in plastic and the plastic is a little bit curled up and there is daylight so there should be a reflection of light. Click the Imgur photo provided stompmix you'll see a reflection coming from the curled up plastic covering the QR code.

Surely it is changed by someone who has no heart to even used the guy picture to stole bitcoins.

Shamefully I dont know why people are so greedy and able not to be guilty doing this awful things.


Curious also to OP, are you gonna help him? If yes that would be nice.

I think this must be posted on reputation or scam accusation based on stompix hunch, cause there are chances some users who own bitcoin could send to a fake one and not to the real guy in the photo.

Same guy from a different angle with the "original bitcoin address" .. at least looks like it.

Yes, that's what I meant. Probably wrong choice of words on my part...

...

These images reveal a little more detail. We can now assume with some certainty that they were taken in New York. Maybe someone can recognize the exact location?
