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

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.

Well done if that really was HufflePuff you were speaking to, he sure didn't give much away in the "interview"

How did you first make contact with this user and how sure are you that this was the real HufflePuff?

Maybe he found out Hufflepuff's email it was also posted in here. The only thing that would prove he's the real hacker if he sign a message but we know he wouldn't do that.

I am taking for granted here that he is the real hacker you have interviewed at first. But after reading your interview the hacker says I will not cashout 1 mln USD in bitcoins.

If he is the real hacker for sure he would have known how to withdraw them part by part or little by little. This answer of him raise my doubts he is just some random dude and not the real hacker. Beside that I am sure the real hacker would not give any interview to any website.

I wouldn't write it off that easily just because the "hacker" said he would not cash out the coins, he simply may not want to cash out.

There have also been a couple of darknet market operators give interviews overtime and they have more to fear than HufflePuff, these guys know how to cover their tracks well.

[hua_hui]

I will just take it as the real hacker. It is amazing to interview with him. As time goes by, we may have forgotten this case but it is good to occasional remind us of what happen in the past to constantly aware us of the potential danger of investment in casino.

[npredtorch]

Very great topic but I think there is a missing thing in here. In the interview, you should asked him/her to show a valid proof that he/she is the real Hufflepuff that we're talking about. That single question may prove or rip out the other questions  .

[LFC_Bitcoin]

In the event that it was the real Hufflepuff the story amazed me. He stole so much money, how do these kind of people plan to use/spend the money?

It's all great for him to take the funds but just like Karpeles, how can you ever use or spend them?

So in the end is/was it all worth it? You can mix coins but people will still know that those coins are on the move or would he even care as long as he was able to cover his tracks?

We have seen fake interviews many times, please don't spam your site for luring downlines, OK? I feel sick about this immoral marketing method

Fixed or not, hacker took the advantage of the flaw and went off. Who can catch him?
Nice interview btw and that last answer was funny "Primedice still has some pending withdrawals that they need to process."

[philiveyjr]

Out of curiosity, even if his identity is known publicly, can primedice go after him legally ?

While primedice said he took advantage of a flaw, but what if he denies any of that ?

Pretty sure he (his username here) has already admitted & made it known he robbed them. I think he threatened them again & said he'd continue to expose other flaws if they went after him.

Maybe somebody can shed further light on this. It's really hard to successfully sue people for bitcoin theft any way. Look at TradeFortress, I think he stole (or claims he got hacked for) thousands of bitcoin. As far as I know he got away with it.

I don't think so. It would be like a casino going after a card counter: they can't.

I could be wrong though.

Good points. I think TradeFortress definitely did steal those Bitcoins. Lots of people say he did and his story just doesn't add up.

Yes but the difference is that card counting is not illegal as far as i am aware, theft is.

Did you think to ask the "hacker" to sign one of the bitcoin addresses the coins were sent to from Primedice?
This would be an easy way to prove that this guy was either HufflePuff or at least closely connected with him.

Yes, but if you send a hacker an email, would he reply confessing to his crime? The interview was definitely interesting (if it's real) but I'm not sure if it is.

It would be an easy way to prove that it is the real HuffflePuff, but I doubt he would do that as he wants to remain anonymous. It's kind of like signing your name after you robbed a bank.

I don't think primedice is not going to do some legal action with it. Depending on the country of the hacker if they are covering some cyber laws. And if does apply then primedice can just file a case against him so that they can try to recover the losses that stolen by that hacker. But I guess it is also a negligence by the system of primedice because they was breached easily by him.

[Slark]

I actually enjoyed this little piece of interview, some notable excerpts:

1. HufflePuff thinks that he won money fair and square and blame it on stupidity of PrimeDice's staff.

2. He doesn't disclosed anything about himself, as expected.

3. He won't return 'stolen' coins he also didn't cash out any of it apparently.

4. According to HP all casino owners are idiots, who barely know what is going on.

5. It seems that he stole 100 BTC more than PrimeDice claimed before.

I guess these lines are something what real HufflePuff could say.

No really that bad, someone like the real HufflePuff would know how to cover his tracks very well. He knows he wouldn't be giving much away by signing a anonymous bitcoin address, I'm sure he didn't send those coins to a Coinbase account or any other account even remotely connected with his real life identity.
