Okay So I saw this address on a forum member's signature (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=256176). When I am trying to see it on blockchain it's giving me checksum error (https://blockchain.info/address/1MYpNKj25HRBFpv22YpuZsuz2zZHKBLUu).
blockexplorer (http://blockexplorer.com/searchgo/1MYpNKj25HRBFpv22YpuZsuz2zZHKBLUu) is also not loading, only blockr.io is able to show wallet balance which is 0 http://blockr.io/address/info/1MYpNKj25HRBFpv22YpuZsuz2zZHKBLUu

It's pretty much weird as he said, he generated it in multbit,

validateaddress 1MYpNKj25HRBFpv22YpuZsuz2zZHKBLUu
{
"isvalid" : false
}

address decodes to 00010966776006953D5567439E5E39F86A0D273BEED61967F6. if you do the SHA checksum (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Technical_background_of_Bitcoin_addresses), it indeed does not match.

There's an r at the end of the address.
