Stolen / missing items overview

[Otoh]

There are more stolen coins:

A whole collection of 51 coins from OTOH was stolen, he details it on his website from 2015.

OTOH: https://otoh.com/Missing-Coins-Reward/

Pretty sure these are still missing unless he can confirm otherwise.

amazing that none of these coins have been peeled.

Someone probably has them sitting in a storage shed/ closet somewhere and has no idea what they are. Someone will probably find them on a garage sale one day for $3 a piece  

Yep, very much still missing, and yes amazing that none have been peeled, my guess is that the thief was after gold or silver Eagles Etc and was disappointed to only find some Internet tokens, but the weird thing was that they left 15 coins and that 12 of those were all the silver ones in the consignment, maybe they were disturbed in the act, or just grabbed all that they could easily conceal very fast, it's all speculation but the fact that there's been no peeling, especially through all of the Silk Road era, makes me wonder if they just got dumped, but it could be that the universe is planning some mystery hidden treasure to come to light one day.

55 BTC @ $100k = $5.5M and who knows what it could be in the future, I should probably file a post office and police report, if that's even possible after so much time, coming up to a decade soon.

I'll update my website page with any news of course.

Edit to add, just checked and this was post the Silk Road, but still strange that there's been such a long hodl.

  Do you still have the addresses for these coins? If they are ever redeemed you can trace where the BTC ends up!

For sure, they're all listed here, with their full addies and also including the ANACS certificate numbers.

Unfortunately I'd like to report that a package had been tampered with, and these coins should be considered stolen as of now.

Also I had updated casascius.uberbills.com noting the owner was named "stolen", but to my surprise it had been updated in the last day with the owner of "ts2". If this means anything to anyone in recovering the coins, let me know.

Might be worth keeping an eye out for it if the carcass shows up, or to try and contact law enforcement. Upon a quick look, it does look like it was sent to an exchange.

There was an intermedary hop and ultimately deposited to 3Kprc49nmsRCzWMHkXbCN7g4cdtrE5onWe at Coinbase.com

jk  & many thanks for those who've PM-ed me with support, and kind wishes in general

[stackinsats777]

What were the shipping details for the package, if you remember?

Might be able to narrow down the area they were stolen in to help with the search.

There are only so many people that handle packages within the system from destination to destination.

Obviously a longshot with the time since the theft, but worth a shot to possibly find the culprit!

[Otoh]

Hi stacking

Well they were shipped from ANACS which are now based at Englewood, CO 80155, I don't know if this is where they were, and sent from, ten years ago or not, at the time I was visiting a friend in Sierra Madre, CA 91024 & used a P.O. Box there at Sierra Madre, CA 91025 to receive these back from ANACS, separately I also had an eBay package stolen which I'd had sent there, that time it was also cut open but all the contents were taken, so as sent from different locations the rat in question could have been based in Sierra Madre, or more likely the main PO in Arcadia I guess, but it could also have been someone working in the PO which ANACS used, I haven't checked if that has been a regular occurrence but someone did tell me that they though this happened quite a lot, in the past anyway, I don't know about now, probably would have been better to have used FedEx or something.

It could even have happened in the ANACS mail room, or in transit to their PO, all speculation anyway.

Good luck and many thanks for taking an interest, one day I may make a return visit there and file a police report on it locally, but I'm not sure that would really help much now, but if they resurfaced it could do no harm I expect.



 

[Otoh]

I consigned them in person direct with ANACS's stand at the Long Beach, CA. coin show that I came over to the States for, and I stayed until they returned them to me.

I've been asked to report the scamming theft of 3 BTC from someone that I know well, they slipped up badly and sent them to someone who was impersonating a friend of theirs, and so on their behalf I'm offering a reward of 10% on any of the coins that are retrieved, or returned, plus a reward of up to $1,000 (my judgement upon the info's worth) for the first person who reports any movement of them to a crypto exchange, or somewhere where they may be able to be frozen, or better yet where the perp/s may be traced and prosecuted, hopefully.

No rewards offered for info of any moves to mixers, or dark web sites, except at my discretion and likely to be around $100 for the first report of that.

$500 reward for the first person to ID what the bc1qlddfc5psmhfp4z6ckzwp7nhxrwsa7dfp8gz383 addie is, where they sent a token amount just after the scam, and then withdrew it back again.

So far they haven't moved very far:

Receiving addie = Scammers first addie: bc1qun3ue8c5j4qgs72qefs9szsngs6ledu83f048z

26.02.25 = 3 BTC that were scammed and sent to: https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/bc1qun3ue8c5j4qgs72qefs9szsngs6ledu83f048z

27.02.25 = 0.00301269 BTC (0.003 BTC + fee) that the scammers sent to: https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/bc1qlddfc5psmhfp4z6ckzwp7nhxrwsa7dfp8gz383 <--- (740 BTC received & sent from this addie over a few days, by others than the scammer I assume)

bc1qlddfc5psmhfp4z6ckzwp7nhxrwsa7dfp8gz383

27.02.25 = 0.0029739 BTC Returned from the same addie to the scammers: https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/bc1qlddfc5psmhfp4z6ckzwp7nhxrwsa7dfp8gz383

bc1qun3ue8c5j4qgs72qefs9szsngs6ledu83f048z

03.03.25 = 1.5000564 BTC (1.5 BTC + fee) that the scammers sent to: https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/bc1qkwmp6tsjhfsykzelxrfd4cksvd8efgk8zfce9l <--- Half of the stolen funds remain here for now

bc1qkwmp6tsjhfsykzelxrfd4cksvd8efgk8zfce9l

03.03.25 = 1.49995557 BTC that the scammers sent to: https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/bc1qt5jmqzneu07mguuzmcq96gtldzt9p8aqdd7qc2 <--- The other half of the stolen funds remain here for now

bc1qt5jmqzneu07mguuzmcq96gtldzt9p8aqdd7qc2

The theft has been reported to the police, and a crime reference number has been issued

1 BTC, no questions asked, reward if the scammer/s, their associates, or besties, return the coins to the same addie that they were originally sent from:

✂

so i would like to bring the user @Lafu from our german section into this discussion, where i think that he might be able to find out a lot here
he is very well known for his detailed work in tracking down Bitcoin wallets and other (in this context) relevant things

maybe he can find out more information in this case...

[Otoh]

Many thanks cygan & to Lafu as well, much appreciated!

[Lafu]

Many thanks cygan & to Lafu as well, much appreciated!

Hi Otoh and thanks cygan for let me know about this Topic and Thread.

First at all i just did a quick overview of your mentioned Addresses.

The Scammer Address bc1qun3ue8c5j4qgs72qefs9szsngs6ledu83f048z was only Created on the 26.02.2025 23:26 and the Latest activity was on 03.03.2025 18:13
Source : https://tokenscope.com/en/address/bc1qun3ue8c5j4qgs72qefs9szsngs6ledu83f048z/btc/btc

Just to show whats going on and how many other Addresses involved in that whole thing look at this:
From my experience of the last years and that cases i have done some research i would say its an Exchange or Bitcoin Service you can use:
The Orange Marked arrow on the Picture is the first Address where the funds got moved from the Scammers.

Source : https://explorer.bitquery.io/bitcoin/address/bc1qun3ue8c5j4qgs72qefs9szsngs6ledu83f048z/graph  Settings here are Outbound 4 and specially for the Address bc1qlddfc5psmhfp4z6ckzwp7nhxrwsa7dfp8gz383

There are already some more Addresses involved in that Scam and what i can i can see from the Scammer Address.

So i would say that its a well organized group of scammers with more members or an direct attemp to scam your Friend.
That things that i found was just an normal research and nothing speciall i was looking on it.
If i have the time i will be looking more into that over the weekend and next Week.
Its all a bit more time intensiv as most of all know and it takes some time.

I know that this is not the big news that you would be hear and bring the funds back , but i will be looking at it and keep you up to date.
I also contacted some special Contact that i have with more powerand tools where its possible to get some Info about that Address.

Regards Lafu

[Otoh]

Many thanks Lafu, much appreciated, yes I feel that these particular scammers are probably better organised than many, unfortunately, especially as in that they haven't rushed to cash out into fiat and blow the loot ASAP without care about any traceability

My friend has written it off as to needing to learn a lesson the hard way, and doesn't expect that they'll see any of the coins back again, but we would still like to track what has happened as much as possible, and how it all progresses when the coins move again

The first addie that they sent a test transfer (I guess) to, may be a complete red herring, as surely they're smart enough to know that once the funds landed in their scammer receiving addie then they were in the bag and there was no need to check that by moving any, perhaps they wanted to show, and so prove, to some third party that they really had landed that catch, who knows?

Could even be kidnapped to Myanmar forced scammer/s, in which case I wish them well, maybe they get to now eat steak for one week, and not have their kidneys harvested  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Though I doubt that this is the present case here...

You are very much Welcome Otoh , every little step i can contribute to that case and you get you some hints about it is it worth to know how and the things was and are.
I know that feeling as i or some of my Accounts got hacked back in the days where i havnt got that knowledge that i have now.
As you mentioned sometimes it needs the hard way to learn from some mistakes and so i learnd of mine , thats why i fighting against Malware links and Scammers.
I learnd my lessons early in the days when Bitcoin was worth just about 90$.

My friend has written it off as to needing to learn a lesson the hard way, and doesn't expect that they'll see any of the coins back again,
but we would still like to track what has happened as much as possible, and how it all progresses when the coins move again

Thats for sure a good and in the same way a bad reason to learn the bad things and how can be the things with Crypto.
Every time check the links and all other things twice before make the next move.
But i have some good news for you and your Friend even it wont be bring back the funds!

I have some speciall Contacts that have the possibility to have fully access to the chainalysis.com Software and i asked about if they can look into that case !
I got some Answer about it.

$500 reward for the first person to ID what the bc1qlddfc5psmhfp4z6ckzwp7nhxrwsa7dfp8gz383 addie is,
where they sent a token amount just after the scam, and then withdrew it back again.

The Address you asked about bc1qlddfc5psmhfp4z6ckzwp7nhxrwsa7dfp8gz383 is one of 1.733 Addresses that belongs to the Bridging service of thorchain.com
Also the other Addresses that have been involved of that Scam has some connections to that Service.

Code:

bc1qun3ue8c5j4qgs72qefs9szsngs6ledu83f048z 
bc1qkwmp6tsjhfsykzelxrfd4cksvd8efgk8zfce9l
bc1qt5jmqzneu07mguuzmcq96gtldzt9p8aqdd7qc2

So that main Address you asked for is an Address from thorchain.com and that other Addresses have the same connection to it.

At the moment there is saddly nothing more i can tell , i have some screenshot from the chainalysis software from my contact that i will be send you on a PM as nobody else should be see that..
Apart from that all the information that belongs to the Address from where the funds that got stolen from your friend will be handled with care and dont get into other Hands.
Hopefully that helps a bit in your case.

Many thanks Lafu, I've PM-ed you, much appreciated!

Thank you very much Otoh , i confirm that i received the bounty.
Saddly there was not more to find out about that case from you.
I even tried more research but there was nothing more that can be important.
