I interviewed Primedice's 2,400+ BTC (US$1,000,000) hacker.

[TheBitcoinStrip.com]

You guys might remember HufflePuff. In 2014 he managed to win more than US$1,000,000 from Primedice by taking advantage of its flawed client-server seed pair mechanism. The trick was later discovered, but HufflePuff refused to return the coins and his identity remains hidden to this day.

I managed to get in contact with him recently.

[BillyBurns]

Can a brave soul copy paste interview.

[malcovixeffect]

You could also ask if he is willing to give you like 50BTC for finding him but I am also curious on how you were able to find hufflepuff

[win win win]

It's rare that I fall for click bait, But when I do, I am severely disappointed.

[Caladonian]

so after two years he showed up and accept the interview? oh wow havent he showed you his btc holdings? good way to promote a site though.

[RHavar]

What is it that makes you think you're interviewing hufflepuff? As stunna has made some of his bitcoin addresses publicly known, were you able to get him to sign a message from one of them to know you're communicating with the right person?


Also the interview is effectively a hit-piece against PrimeDice -- which is absolutely fine to publish if hufflepuff really did say those things. However, I would hope you'd be absolutely 100% sure you're talking to the right person before you publish something like that.

Yeah, I assumed if he was going to shamelessly promote his site, I expected proof.

[RHavar]

On a side note, this strikes me as rather odd:

(Posted in the middle and at the bottom of your post, promoting those casinos. Almost seems like you're getting some sort of incentive to push them?)

I don't understand how you could possibly rank SatoshiDice #1. It has the worst odds of any popular gambling/dice site I'm aware of (but you rank it better than BetKing's or PrimeDice's which is almost 50% less) , and has struggled the last few years with unresponsive support. Other casino listing have moved them to "don't play at".


And on a butt-hurt level, I wonder why you also don't rank bustabit in the top 15, when of all the sites I can see you list it has the best odds, one of the most active communities, and #2 in your own leaderboard by wagered. (Ok, it looks like shit. But I'd assume it would still rank )


Edit: I see you're using a satoshidice affiliate link, which seems to have the most generous affiliate benefits. While sites like bustabit have none. *sigh*

[Stunna]

Probably fake. No proof this is real and there's no new info brought to the table that isn't public via the medium article.

I wasted 10mins of my life reading your interview. There is no proof that the real user is the one he interviewed and all his answer is obviously scripted.
I hope that you changed the title of your thread because you have no proof. But thanks for the info regarding PD hack, I thought PD is unbeatable.

Can a brave soul copy paste interview.

here is the interview for you to read

Interview with Hufflepuff
TheBitcoinStrip.com: You pissed off a lot of people. Do you feel remorse for your actions?

HufflePuff: Absolutely not. I know that I caused Stunna grief, but he is doing just fine. Besides, I took the money fair and square.

TheBitcoinStrip.com: Let’s go back to the beginning. When and how did you get involved with Bitcoin?

HufflePuff: I learnt about Bitcoin from a friend in 2013, during the price surge. At the time, Bitcoin was trading at $220 US. I’ve always been an opportunist, and so when I came across Bitcoin casinos, I immediately looked for easy targets.

TheBitcoinStrip.com: Can you tell us a little about yourself? What’s your rough geographical location and what do you do for a living?

HufflePuff: No. I've been careful to be anonymous.

TheBitcoinStrip.com: Fair enough. Are you behind any other Bitcoin casino attacks?

HufflePuff: I’m not going to lie to you, and I’m not going to answer that question. It would be stupid to.

TheBitcoinStrip.com: Do you have any plans to return the stolen funds?

HufflePuff: I didn’t steal anything, and so, there is nothing to return. I was willing to have a dialogue with Stunna from the get-go, but he came straight away with heavy threats. That was a bad move. In a way, I’ve done Stunna and the community a favor, by shining a light on their stupidity.

TheBitcoinStrip.com: Do you play on any Bitcoin casinos today?

HufflePuff: No. I don’t trust them. Bitcoin casinos are run by idiots, like I demonstrated. I wouldn’t trust any of them. Not with a single dollar.

TheBitcoinStrip.com: Why do you say they’re all idiots?

HufflePuff: Look at how long they took to figure it out. It took Primedice months, because the staff didn’t even understand how its own system worked. Even after it was over, they blamed it on their RNG. That had little to do with it. It was a race attack.

TheBitcoinStrip.com: Why $1 million? Why not more?

HufflePuff: I didn’t stop at $1 million. After Stunna sent me those threats, I kept playing. I was able to withdraw an extra 100 BTC before they finally changed their code.

TheBitcoinStrip.com: What were these threats you keep mentioning?

HufflePuff: I was messaged many threats from the owner. He threatened to release my details to the authorities, and promised he would land me in prison, if I didn’t pay. It was extortion. It wasn’t friendly.

TheBitcoinStrip.com: On the subject of repercussion: Is that something you are worried about?

HufflePuff: Absolutely not. What I did was not illegal. Primedice, on the other hand, is an illegal casino. Do the math.

TheBitcoinStrip.com: So how do you cash out $1 million (more now) of "stolen" Bitcoins?

HufflePuff: Simple. You don't.

TheBitcoinStrip.com: What are you planning to do with the money?

HufflePuff: Pass.

TheBitcoinStrip.com: Is there anything else you would like to add?

HufflePuff: Yes. Primedice still has some pending withdrawals that they need to process.


my doubts here are how on earth did you contacted him and how do we know it is not a script written by you ,STUNNA has the information regarding the authencity of what is mentioned in the interview and i am sure STUNNA has declared a healthy bounty for revealing the identity of this said Hufflepuff, why didnt you try solving that mystery  

[loveofmylife]

What is it that makes you think you're interviewing hufflepuff? As stunna has made some of his bitcoin addresses publicly known, were you able to get him to sign a message from one of them to know you're communicating with the right person?

Yeah, I assumed if he was going to shamelessly promote his site, I expected proof.

+1, OP made a fake story to promote his new gambling review site to get silly referrals, this story is not fresh any more. Old way to get referrals.

[trafficolaa]

Totally nonsense story OP just trying to get some visitors to his site by publishing this fake story, there is no valid proof whether this person is original or not, I think so signed message would be great to make people believe on this story, otherwise that is just from OP imagination what he wrote into this blog.

[NorrisK]

Some stuff also doesn't really add up to me. Stunna threatening to release the personal information of Hufflepuff instead of closing emptying the wallet that was processing the withdrawels? Easiest way to stop invalid payments would be to make sure there is no btc to make the payments with right?

Was an enjoyable piece to read though, even if it turns out to be complete fiction.

[frankmb]

Thanks for wasting my time with this nonsense, the articles online with Stunna are way better. Gives more insight to what happened.

[t2yax]

i dont understand something . something that why hufflepuff dont think the posibility of being busted

interview looks like unreal,

[Betwrong]

It would be great if this was really an interview with the HufflePuff, but I serously doubt that.

OP, claiming such things you should have provide a strong proof, otherwise it looks like a fake.

Why would HufflePuff talk to you in the first place? Why would he risk so much? For what reasons?

[Zadicar]

Just another  click bait. lol. and  i do fall with this kind of nonsense news since theres no proof  thats hes the real hufflePuff, anything in this  online  world  could  be  hufflepuff and   we could easily claim that  name since  no one knows him after all.  Nice strategy  by the way  on making some  traffic to your website.

[rambeazle]

Pretty content-less interview

[deepaksharma]

What a way to promote your site.Clap
