How do I find out who owns that address?

Yes he got caught for laundering money but this was before the exchange went down and if it was laundering then I believe all of the users' funds are still there on their servers. Moreover, I don't see anybody else with a similar complaint - any way this can be fixed??

Hi guys,

I am sure you are all aware of the recent disaster of BTC-E, and while I am still praying to get the BTC I had in my wallet on the exchange back once (or IF) it does go back online. But I have also faced another problem with them before the site went offline - and quite frankly, this just seems like a huge scam to me (BTC-e team if you are seeing this, you need to respond).

So a few days before the site went offline, I received around BTC2.3 to my wallet with the address 15sNZxi1CJxY33tgaoFwKhbMHe2gpRemz2 and then I proceeded to send that out to someone with the wallet address 1NyWST8fCGDgg6cnjz7P3jjh8F16Si9VWH. As usual, I got a withdraw confirmation email from BTC-e and I confirmed the transaction (see below).



I do a lot of transactions with this person so when today, I was reconciling my accounts, I see that the transaction never reached him. In fact, the transaction went to a completely different ID (see image below).



Now, this is where things get interesting. There were NO transactions after the above one with this amount and that random btc address it seems to have gone to, BUT on the 31st of July 2017 (FOUR DAYS AFTER BTC-E SHUT DOWN) there was a txn of 2 BTC going out of my wallet to another random ID. (see image below).



The intented recipient of the transaction never received the money, I am confident that that payment which I initated on the 19th did actually go out and get transferred though. And there are suspicious transactions taking place in my wallet after the exchange was shut down.

Can someone please (I am praying to any entities listening too at the same time I am hoping for help from bitcointalk.org) help me recover this amount as you can see I sent it to the correct address (proof in the email screenshot of withdrawal above) but it never reached the right person.

I never expected this to happen with bitcoin. I know if it is my mistake i can lose it, but when I input the correct recipient address and STILL the money ends up in someone else's hands - how reliable is bitcoin? I might be wrong or missing something here (I hope I am and I get my money back).

Hoping to receive help from you guys on this.
