Title: More coins seized. Nothing too important. Post by: Remember remember the 5th of November on July 22, 2014, 02:21:42 AM I basically stumbled upon this article http://www.eteknix.com/21-year-old-earned-1000-a-day-by-hacking-league-of-legends/ Some guy basically got arrested twice and had $110k worth of Bitcoins seized(read near the end of the article).

Post by: Yakamoto on July 22, 2014, 03:50:12 AM Kid's a genius! Too bad they seized so many of his assets though. Probably would have been nice to get your $200,000 and then lay low for a while, as to not attract attention.
I'm not worried about a sell-off, $110k isn't a lot, about 178BTC, not like the 28kBTC auction the marshals did. $110k would do very little. I have to laugh at how he gained access through an unchanged password. I wonder what happened to the employee... |
