The funds were sent to the Bitcoin address as requested: http://blockchain.info/address/1FqqBZnemCrcCDbz57Nk7LHLCN42hCHXEV.

Thank you Zhou for your cooperation.

I was asked by some of the creditors and interest holders in Bitcoinica, LP to broker this transaction. Steps are being taken to safely transfer the funds to Bitcoinica, LP so they may be distributed in a fair and expeditious manner to claimants.

Thank you,
Patrick Murck

The address presumably indicated by Patrick Murck was used twice before receive the 15,000 BTC. This indicate the address was not produced exclusively to receive the "stolen funds".

Currently I can recover at most 20,000 BTC and $140,000 from Chen Jianhai.

(...)

AFAIK he used Blockchain's mixing service, but we don't expect the fees to be returned because it's impossible to identify the funds anyway. (Also Blockchain has offered a 0.5% bonus for those people who facilitated the laundering.)

The average price he sold at should be around $7.2, including the exchanging fees. At this price point we are short $42,000. I'll see if it's possible to get this from Chen Jianhai, but quite unlikely. I doubt the effectiveness of Chinese police as well, because he's very likely to have "Guanxi" to deal with his financial activities (which I can't decide whether legal or not). In any case, he has been acting in a very naive way and I assume he still has freedom today because of his guanxi, not technical sophistication.

There is more than a single person behind the user zhoutong. There is a ghost writer following the instructions of another person which dictates every answer. A single person could not express such astonishing English skills so well garnished with technical details.

There is enough contradictions in every response from zhoutong which indicates the information is consistently fictional.

Not one single character or description is factual.

A script is in place and the user zhoutong is only following the lines.

Well for instance the average CEO in America makes 380 times what the average workers do.  I think it would be fair to legislatively limit that to 2 or 3 times what the average worker makes, or if we really have to stretch up to ten times more for the sake of compromise okay.  You have a livable minimum wage and a generous maximum wage so that high achievers still have something to drive for but they can do it without leaving behind people in poverty or bankruptcy from medical bills.

Seller records a jingle. Buyer pays for a copy of the jingle (but really BTC). Seller inserts a recording of the private key being spoken at a random point in the jingle. Sends MP3 (at password-protected URL) to buyer. Receipt of payment and download is generated, so whoever tries to initiate chargebacks will run up against the proof they received the MP3.

Thoughts? Steal the idea if you wish... I don't have the infrastructure or skills (other than speaking).

Interesting idea.

From who is the private key spoken in the jingle?

He is a minor.  PayPal reversed all of his transactions and froze his account.  For more detailed information please read the thread.

I think it would be OK to list all of the amounts, only the amounts.  Then we can all see where our amount is in line.

He did not provided any evidence which proves he is a minor...

Anyway, perhaps Paypal limited his account because he could not provide appropriate documents.

Nice, I can trust in the Bitinstant enterprise as long the photos are there:



Wait, I do not like Mr Nelson's hair dressing! It look like his hair was lick by a cow or a dog. I recommend Mr Nelson give it up the hair gel or his customers are going to become suspicious of what he is doing with the Bitinstant transactions.



Mr Shrem with his red eyes and open shirt is very suspicious. The hair dressing is all right, but I still have the sensation that Mr Shrem is a 24h drunk Russian laundering money in North-America.



Well done Mr Ver, well done! The only problem is the tie... It look like one of the cheap tie which my grandfather used to dress for the church attendance. I would never trust money to church attendants...



Finally a man which seems a gentleman. Now I can trust completely in the Bitinstant enterprise since I know there is Mr Voorhees, a gentleman which is "trying to do the right thing".

You're not serious I hope.  
Here's some JS from your site:
 
      // snip ...  
      this.mayaday=Math.round(this.modSeconds);
      this.mayaday/=86400;
      this.mayaday+=2440588;
      this.mayaday=Math.floor(this.mayaday);
      this.mayaday-=584285;


Tell me where those integers come from please.  
You very much need an agreed upon event (such that we know the date of the event in both calendars) to synch them.


It is not my Internet page. Anyway...

In astronomy, a Julian year is a unit of measurement of time defined as exactly 365.25 days of 86,400 SI seconds each. The Julian year is the average length of the year in the Julian calendar used in Western societies in previous centuries, and for which the unit is named.

...and...

Julian Days can also be used to tell time; the time of day is expressed as a fraction of a full day, with 12:00 noon (not midnight) as the zero point. So, 3:00 pm on 1 Jan 1970 is JD 2440588.125 (since 3:00 pm is 3 hours since noon, and 3/24 = 0.125 day). Note that the Julian Day is always determined from Universal Time, not Local Time.

Sure, it takes math to convert temperature from C to F also, but i you didn't know that 0C = 32F or 100C = 212F?  


It is "you" or "I" that "didn't know that 0C = 32F or 100C = 212F"?

I've scoped up on the Mayans many times. I just cannot see this happening in 2012, I don't believe they're even in the bible. If they are correct me.

The Mayans are not in the Bible because the people who conceived of the bible (the Romans) had no idea they existed. Just like they had no idea they were on a planet in space.

The bible was not exactly produced by the Romans, although one or more writers were Roman citizens. The bible was conceived in three languages:

Quote
The Bible was written in the languages of ancient Palestine: Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. The Old Testament has been transmitted to us primarily in these languages. Written mainly in Hebrew, it was translated into Greek (the Septuagint) before the text became quite stable.

http://www.bible.gen.nz/amos/language/languages.htm

The Romans used to speak and write in Latin:

Quote
Latin is an Italic language originally spoken in Latium and Ancient Rome. Along with most European languages, it is a descendant of the ancient Proto-Indo-European language. It originated in the Italian peninsula.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin
I was oversimplifying. But it was emperor Constantine who produced "the Bible". Prior to that the cannon of religious writings used by Christians was much more diverse and without standardization. The Romans loved standards and upon adopting Christanity as the official religion they needed some rules and a book to keep it all strait.
So, church leaders and government officials reviewed the stories that were being told by followers throught the empire and picked what they liked. Stories not in line with Roman sensibilities were thrown out or changed. For example Lillith, Marry Magdalen, Thecla; These women were deemed too powerful to be a Bible. Their stories were changed or droped completely.
In any case the early Christians had no bible. It was created by a government from scraps of Sumarian and other cultural traditions.



Thank you for the update, I was not aware of this facts.

Which events are used to calibrate the calendar, i.e. synch it with our own so that we can convert 13.1.1.1.1 to Nov 1, 2011 (as some said) or other Julian calendar day? 


Not events, just pure mathematics:

What other proof do you need!? There's no such thing as coincidences!!!

I would need proof that the above statement is true. Smiley



No joke, I was in the shower around the exact time you must have made this post, wondering "is random real?"

!!

here's the answer --> NO, random is not real.

Well... It is real:

Quote
A random number is a number chosen as if by chance from some specified distribution such that selection of a large set of these numbers reproduces the underlying distribution. Almost always, such numbers are also required to be independent, so that there are no correlations between successive numbers. Computer-generated random numbers are sometimes called pseudorandom numbers, while the term "random" is reserved for the output of unpredictable physical processes. When used without qualification, the word "random" usually means "random with a uniform distribution." Other distributions are of course possible. For example, the Box-Muller transformation allows pairs of uniform random numbers to be transformed to corresponding random numbers having a two-dimensional normal distribution.

The more you look into the history of other doomsday dates/predictions, the more you find dead ins.

For this 2012 prediction, you find nothing but time leading to this date, through many religions and the most popular one most people know of is the Mayans. Now, I'm not saying the world will end, but I am almost convinced now that something horrible will indeed happen.

I'm sure most of you bitcoiners/programmers have heard of the "web bot" which is yet another thing on the long list that says something horrible is to happen in May of 2012..

-A second depression, triggered by mass layoffs, bankruptcies, and the popping of the derivatives bubble.
-A "data gap" has been found in 2012 running through May 2013. One explanation is that "our civilization gets knocked back to a pre-electronic state," such as brought about by devastating solar activity.
-A new benign form of capitalism will emerge during 2017–2020.[20]


I am sorry, but your post is completely nonsense.

The most amazing part is that always someone cite the Mayan calendar but it give the end date using the Gregorian calendar...

So, do you even know why the Gregorian and the Mayan calendar was invented?

If you do not, here is a good start to understand why calendars were not invented to predict catastrophes:

Why is 6.66 so popular? I've seen it several times today at arbitrary and random times.
Am I just seeing it because it stands out or is and indication of an imminent apocalypse?
I can't decide.

This same phenomenon happened to me in 2008 right before 2009.. It continually showed up. I was not familiar with the Bible yet but I kept seeing that number every where and remember asking myself the same question. Although I leaned on the conclusion that it was simply standing out, after seeing it again and again in less likely circumstances, I began to re-question and have now concluded it to be more than coincidence.

This number "stand out" because it is an irreducible division in the set of rational numbers:

333/50 ∈ ℚ

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=6.66

The Egyptians used to solve this problem by fractioning the number:

333/50 = 6 + 1/2 + 1/7 + 1/59 + 1/5163 + 1/533079755
