Bitcoin trading platform BitQuick announced on Thursday, March 17, that it would be shutting down its service for the next two to four weeks to investigate a cyber-attack that took place on Monday, March 14.

That can't be right... aren't you supposed to wait at least 18 months to report alleged security incidents?

There was talking about murky connection between former Secret Service agent Shaun Bridges and Cryptsy, about  consultations after theft on 29.July.2014.I found evidences that this connection was much deeper and that P.Vernon knew him at least 2 months before theft.


One deposit transaction in so call Cryptsy cold wallet from 28th.May.2014 of 79.9995 BTC directly came from one of SilkRoad wallets.

Cryptsy cold wallet had only few transactions and was used just for very special situations(paying Cloud Hashing for MN contracts) and was no doubt under direct control of P.Vernon.


On 28th.May.2014 79.9995 BTC came to this account directly from SilkRoad account:

https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/d5b33afa226972ad4b34ff03331e1fb2ccbcd9fbd6db1a8d5bac9ed2dd22d376









If you trace backward this transaction, you will see that 75.2 BTC came directly from one of Silk Road wallets:

https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/006d9ee2b36713d8


But in that time Silk Road was closed and Shaun Bridges was the only one who had them under control.In indictment against him and DEA agent Carl Force,stated that between March 2013 - June 2014,they sent $250.000 Bitcoins to Mt.Gox and Bitstamp to sell them.They obtained informations about Silk Road Bitcoin wallets from interrogation of Curtis Green on 25th.Jan.2013

If you carefully look in that wallet you will see that until April 2013(on 12th.February.2013 he opened offshore company where he sent first $820.000 from selling BTCs on Mt.Gox) all transactions were Silk Road transactions.After April 2013 till June 2014 there were numerous big outgoing transactions to BTC-e(sent after to Mt.Gox), Cryptsy and Bitcoin Fog mixer.The timeframe for this outgoing transactions exactly matches timeframe from indictement.



Also you can see additional 2 transactions (total 190 BTC) were sent to Cryptsy wallet:

https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/5b8dc82d470e950a6ae95c83581ffeecdddfb322d4b66556f0e60a00193db89e

https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/14dd85101f49f83d2546309b642f22bf1aca0fc3322033d8f39c36b8d9a3b626







That is not all.These two transactions came to Cryptsy BTC deposit addresses:

1Eioc11yb5rEh16cbb9SGUGjyBJSMLLRUX  and  1Czmkr5szyie6a9zN5hWwGjthuGBQ1H37

few hours later they were sent to address 1B6BnNufmHad4S2Ft2wwDXRv61ammSR1AN which belongs to wallet:

https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/03dab56c6b619478







In this wallet you can see that it was active from 24th.May-9th.June 2014,time when BTCs went to exchanges to sell.This wallet got 588 BTCs from Cryptsy wallet.Others are from Mintpal.If you trace outgoing transactions from this wallet ,they all went to Bitfinex wallet.

So,Shaun Bridges obviously used BTC-e,Cryptsy and Mintpal for BTC laundering before he sent them to Mt.Gox,Bitstamp and Bitfinex.Prosecution found transactions to Bitstamp and Mt.Gox,but not to Bitfinex,BTC-e,Cryptsy and Mintpal.

But remains question ,why he sent 75 BTC directly to Cryptsy cold wallet.These BTC were not moved to other exchanges to sell,so presume is that it was payment to P.Vernon for using Cryptsy for BTC laundering services and clear evidence that P.Vernon knew Shaun Bridges at least 2 months before Cryptsy theft.

There could be other cases of coin laundering and insider play which are not a public knowledge yet. Cryptsy couldn't make a living off their fees. Guess how they made extra cash.

when is the movie coming out? ha

[bitofanoob]

Thank you thunderjet !

Silly me, I thought when Vernon talked about Bridges in the blog note, that he was full of crap as usual. But no, at least some truth can come out of his deceptive mind, even if I'm not sure it'll help him in the long term acknowledging he had ties with a famous felon FBI agent, now behind bars.

I just hope american and chinese officials take note of all of this, this thread is a good starting point to their investigations.

Hopefully the authorities are investigating Cryptsy, Paul Vernon, etc. but does anyone know for sure that they are?  Is this site the only place that is trying to piece together information?

Don't forget that Paul Vernon ONLY used Bridges as an excuse as to why he was unable to figure out who to contact after the event, not once considering SARs in spite of him penning just prior that he was 100% with them/FinCen regulations so to amass more Cryptsy users prior, during and after the event.

Paul Vernon and Jim Shockney are nothing but snakes from the word go.

You are correct (old news), but I was busy at the time having only glimpsed over it when it was fresh. BTW, I'm the one who exposed Curtis Green, a user on this forum. He quit coming around after I proved that he was fucking his daughter. True story.

[gamebak]

So much dirt on all these exchanges, someone ought to  sit downt  and write a book on all the drama that has been doing the rounds. Will be interesting to read it!

Now, this is where I come in. He figured, for whatever far-flung reason, that I could convince Ross to cough up the pass-phrase he needed. He also had a second theory, and that was that Ross only had 1/2 the pass-phrase, and I had the other 1/2. Either way, I am critical to his plan.

Serrin Turner aka Chrysippus aka Bob surmised that DPR had half the pass-phrase and PoM had the other half after they faked Curtis Green going to a grave. Yep, there's a movie in all this somewhere, and too bad Green was cut out of the FOX deal after it was exposed he fucked his daughter.

Any investigations into the 'other' exchanges were ended due to Bridges contamination.  This was stated by the judge when he was sentenced and also why the feds never finished their investigation into Mt. Gox.

who is " Company 0, LLC " referenced here ===> https://wallet.decred.org/#/disclaimer

Company 0 (c0) are the guys that developed Decred and btcsuite. They are the main developers working on both packages, but not the only developers. They have a long history of free and open-source work. btcsuite for example is a suite of packages and tools for working with Bitcoin in Go (golang) including btcd, a full node, mining capable, Bitcoin implementation. They've also done a ton of work on bitrig - which is an OpenBSD-based operating system. Just a little background on their software development work in the past. That's the main force behind Decred in terms of development, funding, and infrastructure at present.

ok so this company is registered in Illinois? where is Gage when we need him? ;-) hodl!

I'm a noob.
Who is this guy?
Oh, wait, Dave Collins.
I'm a noob.
Where's Gage?

Funny, how a noob fresh on the Bitcoin scene was able to evoke an infamous nym of mine - [Phinnaeus] Gage.

Funnier still, how this thread is doin' its damndest to cement the notion that rogue FBI agents are behind the Cryptsy hack.

My take is that upon Paul Vernon reading - http://www.myplanetganja.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=11022&start=120#p144158 - he, along with Jim Shockney of Pineland, Texas, started to put a storyline together that'll finally allow them to safely move the not-so stolen bitcoins.


"i'm noob never herd of these catzzz"

[romeshomey]

There were other exchanges also not mentioned here that Bridges approached who'd suspected him of trying to get access to their computers for suspect reasons.

My intuition always led me back to Bridges when thinking about the Cryptsy heist.

http://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/interview/charles-allen-shaun-bridges-may-have-also-targeted-bitcoin-shop/

Assistant U.S. Attorney Kathryn Haun told the court that “the number of cases that Mr. Bridges contaminated – as well as investigations across the country that his conduct led to have to be shut down – is startling.”  https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/silk-road-agent-shaun-bridges-gets-71-months-prison
