I may have accidentally stumbled upon who Tom Williams is late last night. But after four hours of reading with 17 tabs open (I normally only have 3-4 opened--at the very most), I was too tired to...yada yada yada! The title to this thread should be enough to pique interest, let alone know what it's about. I'm running late in getting a load of lumber delivered, so allow me to just post a couple links now. When I get back, I don't want to see this moved to Off-Topic. First, I found this: http://dump.udderweb.com/Censorship/mtgox_leak.txtFrom info gleaned there, I found this: redacted for the time being--believe I linked the wrong Tom from my tangled messI don't have time now, but I'm also able to link Russian connections. (allinvain may also prove interesting) Full disclosure: I'm not a member of SA and I've only visited, then started to read, their thread on Bitcoin two days ago (I find it an interesting read). My biggest fear now is that they may do the digging and take full glory in any discoveries before I have an opportunity to present what I've uncovered. But, such is life! major edit job here by me, BRUNO.

I thought the SA misanthropes already decided Bruce Wagner and Tom Williams were one and the same.

No. They would think he was in on it for the constant promotion of mybitcoin on his tv show.

Allinvain seems to have been running some sort of e-money exchange website back in 2007. http://alansmoney.blogspot.com/Email at the top of the page matchs the email in the MTGOX dump Here's another site. http://alansmoneyblog.com/No where on either site does he mention getting robbed for BTC.

Here's the archive on his site for the month it was allegedly stolen. Hi everyone. I am totally devastated today. I just woke up to see a very large chunk of my bitcoin balance gone to the following address:

mybitcoin.com was hosted on OpenBSD or another *BSD variant.
The Tom Williams LinkedIn profile looks like it's for a Microsoft nerd. C#, ASP.Net...
Doesn't seem to add up.

That could be just what he does for a living. Maybe he would use open source but BoA won't let him.

Why does Bitrebel have 65+ Ignores? Because Bitrebel says things that some people do not want YOU to hear.

SA goons keep talking about how Tom Williams allegedly attended the Bitcoin Conference in NYC unmolested, but I've never seen any credible citation for this - anyone know anything about that?

I was there. everyone had to introduce themselves while standing. it was very awkward but nobody skipped a beat. I guess he could have been there and used a fake name but it is unlikely. also why would he have attended? what could he possibly have gained from that?

Research for his next scam, probably.

Interesting. A web programmer for a bank - that is pretty much exactly who you would be looking for to be behind a site like mybitcoin.com and he just so happens to have the same name.

Am I naive in thinking that the exchanges (mtgox) must have quite a clue what happened to mybitcoin's coins and who the person is behind the website? Did they ever make a statement saying they knew nothing that could help?
