help from board admin on tracking down a thief

[opticalcarrier]

Hello, I am an admin at forums.nxcryto.org and working in conjunction with forums at nextcoin.org we have discovered thousands of dollars in theft.  We have IP logs and were wondering if anyone can work with us in seeing if the IP is in any of the logs here tied to a user account.

I doubt they would. They don't seem to get involved with most cases here so I doubt they'd be willing to on this. Theymos is the admin to contact regarding this but he's probably busy with other stuff and has stated before that he'll only release IP addresses on rare occasions or from a police request etc.

Current policy is to release IPs only in response to a court order or a reasonable police request. (I don't guarantee that I won't release IPs in other cases, though.)

Maybe you could send a PM to theymos, but I also doubt theymos would reveal the IP that easily.

I think the general policy is buyer beware - if someone's been scammed then they mustn't have been using the necessary due diligence to prevent being scammed in the first place.

I don't think they release IP's just by a request even if it's a convincing one. also if that person has a dynamic IP or was using TOR or proxy (which is very likely if he was doing theft at that place) it might not be useful at all.

it wasnt a scam, it was a trojan client that stole passwords then the theif drained accounts, to the tune of thousands of dollars
