Wait, someone is thinking of starting a case against TF? Now, years after the fact? Against TF, who was (and still is) a minor? What about that other aussie child everyone's after, Volpone, something like that? QS call his mom yet?
This place... a gift that keeps on giving!

I have no idea, in fact I thought it was wardrick who told me about that but now I remember it was someone else. Yes a few people went out and got lawyers, private investigators and stuff but all those guys really want to do is just take your money right, so nobody had any success the lawyers just took a bunch more money off of victims. At the time nobody knew for sure who TF was and it took fucking ages to figure it out for sure. It took me over a year before I was sure who he was, and even then I held off telling people because I was afraid I was wrong because it's easy to make mistakes.
One problem in catching him was that TF started using the internet at a really young age so he actually used fake ages and names online since day one. He also has a credit card in the name of "Gladys Portales" IIRC (TF's other nickname is glados, a reference to the game Portal) no idea how he got that.
There is no doubt about his identity now. He attended a bitcoin conference before and started tweeting from his twitter account while sitting in the audience, he even helpfully posted online that he would be there befor hand so that others could keep an eye out for him. It was "the bitcoin address" by Andreas antonop and it was held in melbourne, sponsored by coinjar I think. There is a youtube video where you can see his tweets showing up, I'll try find it now. EDIT:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NfNwjJfrOg I think thats the video but I don't see his tweets, anyone sees them LMK. Here is his twitter where you can the tweets too:
https://twitter.com/gladosccTF or maybe a family member of his also likely has some very minimal involvement with
https://coinjar.io . My current theory is he has invested some of the inputs money with them.
And TF didn't run inputs on his own. He had help from a much older family member. And I think inputs really did get hacked via an API exploit, but not for 4100 BTC. I think he lost so much money he decied he had to run away with the rest. He later setup hashie.co with another scammer here and it definitely got hacked for a small amount of BTC and he definitely ran away with the remaining BTC, even admitting it to me on this forum.
I haven't spotted TF on the forum in a long time now so its possible he's either laying low or a case or something is against him. It's generally a bad idea to post about legal issues on the internet so we won't hear about any legal cases until they are almost resolved. I could care less about him anymore, he'll eventually get caught.
Sorry for the offtopic, but this thread is kinda about TF I guess.
