Have you checked these ones as well?
This is David Francois' wallet
https://blockchain.info/address/1DavouTAsveznCFHsz688xvbrRAq4u2qm8If you look closely, before the "hack" there were mainly small transactions. Then suddenly after the "hack" on 2013-04-22 20:27:57 TXID: f08814e154dd270454ffcbe1aa97b7cf798e2fdf47cc6f1456e568b820f45016
the first of the large transactions in & out of his wallet started occurring.
QUITE A FEW High Valued transactions into/out of his account.
There's loads of other interesting transactions.

Lets dig further!
If its true there is a link between MT.GOX/Karpeles and David Francois (DAVOUT), and possibly BITCOIN-CENTRAL, then lets find it!
Who knows what we might uncover! Its time to weed out all the SHIT from the Bitcoin Community!
If we want Bitcoin to succeed, then this needs to be done!
KARMA is gonna come get you DAVID FRANCOIS (DAVOUT)!!!!
Amazingly, David François a.k.a. davout, a moderator on BitcoinTalk forum, was able to amass 1,384.35491053 BTC during the same exact time frame I was trying to get my 1,132 BTC returned to me. What are the odds?
Also, what are the odds of him being able to do such when he claimed that InstaWallet didn't have any customers, all the while David and Boussac were whining about having to do all the refunds/research/etc. for free on this very thread?
Prior to the "hack", I chimed in with other concerns made because of my 1,000+ were entrusted with InstaWallet, but was rest assured by a well-respected mod (in fact, two) that all was well and I need not worry. It wasn't till on the third day after the "hack" I was made aware that it had occurred, whereupon I expressed my outrage, in turn Boussac put me on his ignore list and David was nowhere to me found.
After ~100+ requests to see the police report, Boussac was finally kind enough to post in the...wait for it...French section of this forum oppose to the official InstaWallet claim thread, the one you're reading now. It was thanks to another Bitcoiner who discovered it and migrated the post to this thread.
Since day one, 100s of requests have been made as to who conducted the audit they claimed to have done. To date, crickets on that subject. Boussac claimed there is more than one auditor, whereupon David (davout) only claims there's one. One of them is lying.
David/davout registered Bitcoin-Central.com, of which was a separate entity from all other concerns under Paymium's umbrella, and was deem secured and safe, and had to abide by rules that govern banks because it was/is backed by a bank, yet bitcoins flowed in and out of Bitcoin-Central via InstaWallet prior to the "hack". Somehow, I'm pretty sure that that could be construed as some form of money laundering.
Out of the three claims I filed over a year ago, the lesser one, 0.835 BTC, was finally returned to me this past February, 2014, in spite of it being denied for lack of proof, but eventually approved upon resubmitting the same proof. David claimed that it wasn't found in their records, probably because if they would have found it, they would have found the other two claims, assuming all three would have been lumped close together. I'm guessing the records on their servers were expunged, thus allowing Paymium a windfall to go along with the 20K micro InstaWallet wallets, for only less than 1,000 outta 21K funded wallets (their numbers, not mine) have been returned to their non-customers to date.

Money Over IP - First European Bitcoin-Compliant Payment Scheme
Note, if it looks like a scheme, acts like a scheme, and feels like a scheme, it must me a scheme, as in
work out a deal.
Looking at
http://www.galitt.us/:
Consulting and Services in Payment Systems and Secure Electronic Transactions
Since 2006, Galitt US, a subsidiary of the French payment technology leader, Galitt, has been leveraging Galitt’s 20 + years of deep advanced payments knowledge, test tools, best practices and proven methodologies of its consultants and payment experts, to help FIs, Merchants and Payment Service Providers in the US migrate to EMV.
Galitt US is based in San Mateo, CA with offices in Chicago and Atlanta.
Their Atlanta office is just down the road and literally on the same street as BitPay, of which I surely hope they're not involved, for such would sadden me deeply because I love them guys.

In 2011, Gilitt invested in Paymium to a tune of $400K USD. What kind of investment would Gonza have to contribute to Gilitt to help them with their endeavor when you consider the following:
https://www.linkedin.com/company/galitt
Galitt is not a small outfit if you consider 201-500 employees not small.
I bet you're curious as to where Gilitt's office is located in conjunction to Paymium's office, aren't you? So was I, so I mapped it for both our pleasures.
I bet I know what the Honorable Judge Kays would say: Something doesn't smell right.
That said, I'll echo what I've already stated: If anybody has any funds in Bitcoin-Central, I advise you to get them out ASAP because I have a very funny feeling that the banking regulators in France will be auditing these bastards, and they won't be using the same auditor(s) that was supposedly used with InstaWallet, of which I have strong reason to believe was a lie.
paymium.com was registered on 2010-06-03 but didn't have the site live until Oct. 20, 2011:
http://web.archive.org/web/20111020202119/http://www.paymium.com/But, Gilitt was kind enough to invest $400K USD in their venture. Before InstaWallet failed, InstaWire failed, Paytunia failed, and Bitcoin-Central went dark for a period, Gonzague Grandval was able to invest in Gilitt, then a year later Gilitt re-invests in Paymium.
As I mentioned before, Gonza was nowhere around during the aftermath of the "hack" in spite of him having a user account on this very forum:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=56121In closing, all I'm asking for is what's rightfully mine - 1,132 BTC. It already been proven that the funds are still in InstaWallet or its principal's control and I want my bitcoins returned to me.
At this speaking, I consider everybody associated with Paymium thieves and will do everything in my power to see that an audit is conducted in all its concerns, especially Bitcoin-Central since it's backed by a bank and MUST abide by federal regulations.
