Okay So I saw this address on a forum member's signature. When I am trying to see it on blockchain it's giving me checksum error.
blockexplorer is also not loading, only blockr.io is able to show wallet balance which is 0 http://blockr.io/address/info/1MYpNKj25HRBFpv22YpuZsuz2zZHKBLUu

It's pretty much weird as he said, he generated it in multbit,

{
"isvalid" : false
}

address decodes to 00010966776006953D5567439E5E39F86A0D273BEED61967F6. if you do the SHA checksum, it indeed does not match.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Read his signature again. You copied it wrong
