If it is from the hack and someone is trying to launder the coins they could:
Give away first 1000 coins.
Observe fallout - police interest in recipient, recipients ability to sell coins etc.
If fallout is negligible then do the same again saying it will be a weekly thing but this time send to an address of their own that they have posted in amongst the ever increasing number of addresses.
Repeat in subsequent weeks.
I haven't posted an address by the way - seems wrong as it's other people's bitcoin that should be returned.
+1 gj. Don't post it. Don't be a bitch.
Actually if you agree receiving stolen funds is wrong and therefore would be willing to give it back when there's proof about who's the rightful owner then it would be a good idea to post your address. At least there's a small chance the owner(s) get their coins back. Of course it's possible OP just wants to fake giving away the coins to himself but I can't see a scenario where posting your address would do any harm if you're willing to give the coins back.
Right now I see there are 4 options:
- The coins go to someone willing to give the coins back.
- The coins go to someone not willing to give the coins back.
- The hacker keeps the coins.
- The coins are destroyed.
I really prefer option 1. Don't you?
If it's proven that the coins were in fact hacked and OP really gives them then whoever wins should give them back to the rightful owner.
