Possible info about 25k BTC Theft / Hack

[PcChip]

Hi guys,

I was searching for some information about a scam that was pulled on me two days ago; I sold one bitcoin on ebay, got paid with paypal and sent the coin, then immediately there was a claim filed and the money was taken away.  The address I sent it to was 18HHRpghTbFcNb7zeEwBgSRp3UFq7cBFG5 , so I was looking through blockexplorer for info, googled one of the addresses my stolen bitcoin was sent to, and came up with NathanKBarrows from Hackforums.net

One of his posts mentioned a wallet stealer from their forums stole 25k BTC, and I thought I remembered someone here recently losing that many.

I'm not sure how helpful this information is, if at all, but I wanted to share it with the community.

I would have just linked to the forum post, but it requires a membership to that forum, so I used the google cache and took a screenshot:

Just to make that sure, you didn't pay bitcoins with Paypal, right? As everybody as been warned about the risks doing so I guess you didn't. So how did you pay?

Let this be a lesson to you: Never accept PayPal as payment for Bitcoins.  It is PayPal's policy not to support Bitcoin, and they are happy to reverse any/all transactions related to Bitcoins.  If you want to sell Bitcoins, use one of the plethora of trading sites - particularly the ones that offer escrow services.

I don't think he was complaining about his loss of 1 BTC, but rather his discovery of the trail of 25k BTC from elsewhere.

yeah if we have his paypal and ebay account we should be able to track him down in person
