Mt. Gox user details for sale

[SmokeTooMuch]

I won't post the link to the source or his email address, but apparently nanashi___ is selling the Mt. Gox user database:

Official sale of MT.Gox database: personal details for almost all Bitcoin users.
 
I am selling all data obtained in recently MT. Gox database hack. File is ~20gb and contains full personal information of all clients in gox system, including passport scan. This document will never be elsewhere published by us. Selling it one or two times to make up personal loses from gox closure. Asking 100BTC for entire document. Willing to sell it in pieces, 10BTC for 2gb of data.
 
I will verify that I am in possesion of this data before you make purchase. Interested buyers can contact me and I will send you all information contained in file about you personally. No one contact asking for parts of the file for free/me to send file before payment.

I hate those blackhats ~.~

EDIT 11.03.2014:

new info:

Mt. Gox database sale: steps to remove yourself from dump before sales.
    
Most around here know we are selling gox customer info. Many have contact us requesting to pay to have their data removed before we sell. We are doing this for a cost of 0.25 BTC per person removed. We have already sold and release 20% of data to 2 buyers, so if you are apart of that it's too late for you.
    
We are release the rest of this data to our buyers sometime this week, so after that happens it is too late for everyone who has not been removed already.
    
1) Email [...] with the email you used with mtgox.
2) I will check file already sold, if you are not part of that I will send you unique bitcoin address. If you don't get response it means your data has already been sold in first batch or we have finalized sale of all data.
3) After you have sent .25 bitcoin payment, email us again to inform us of this.
4) Thats all, we will delete your personal data and passport scan from all copies of database.
    
DO NOT email asking to do this for cheaper unless you are doing 10+ accounts at once. Also do not email us asking to confirm what information we have about you. If gox had it, we have it, and as you can read on boards we have confirmed possession of this dump for many people. We let you use our same email for this as all other gox hack communication so you know we are same people. Doing this things will cause us to ignore all further message from you.
    
nanashi

Also do not email us asking to confirm what information we have about you.

Interesting how this is the opposite of what he said before.

Afaik nobody has proven to be in possession of such data yet (please correct me if I'm wrong).
I'm starting to think this is all a scam.

EDIT 19.03.2014:

04:37 <nanashi___> email change to [...]. use pgp from original hack posts to confirm i am same person. cost is 0.35 bitcoins for full perm data delete
04:37 <nanashi___> http://[...] use public pgp from there or any original hack posts to confirm its me
04:38 <LennyBruce> How do I know my data wasn't part of the piece of the file you have already sold?
04:38 <nanashi___> if you don't start getting spam/phishing emails yet, you probably not part of the piece sold. email me with address and i check sold file.
04:38 <nanashi___> if your data is not part, i send you bitcoin address and perminantly delete your data after payment recieved.
04:38 <nanashi___> [...] only, do not use old address.
04:39 <nanashi___> use same pgp to confim it me. i delete everything including passport scans and bank info.
04:40 <gonzop> nanashi is your group responsible for the new login on mtgox.com?
04:40 <nanashi___> we did not do mtgox.com login. they still control mtgox.com as far as i know
04:40 <gonzop> We're supposed to trust the guy who stole the DB and sold them?
04:40 <nanashi___> don't care. just responding. if i wanted to control mtgox.com i probably could.
04:40 <gonzop> Ok so it's safe to login to Mt Gox?
04:41 <nanashi___> yes as long as you trust frenchman who stole 951,116 btc. he probably had to put this up for legal reason
04:42 <MagicalTux> Nothing was stolen by me. Time will tell the full story. On the other hand you are exorting people after stealing our customer's info. You are probably the hacker who stoll all our Bitcoins in the first place.
04:42 <nanashi___> bla bla bla bla
04:42 <nanashi___> yes I stole one billion dollars and now am sticking around to sell data dump for peanuts
04:42 <nanashi___> ps they were not your bitcoins, they your customers
04:43 <MagicalTux> they're
04:43 <nanashi___> two people commit suicide already because of your fraud and you joke. you care?
04:43 <MagicalTux> How many people will kill themselves because of what you are doing?
04:43 <nanashi___> few poeple kill themself because of viagra spam. you ruined many people
04:44 <MagicalTux> Lots of people kill themselves because of identity theft, which is happening with the data you are selling.
04:44 <nanashi___> this is serious? if you are so concerned next time protect customer info better. why you even keep passport scans on server?
04:44 <nanashi___> if not for us someone else would have done exact same
04:44 <nanashi___> at least we give people honest chance to have data deleted before sale
04:44 <gonzop> nanashi is it too late to have my information removed before you sell the database?
04:45 <nanashi___> gonzop maybe not. have sold 10% of dump and am waiting until thur/20 to sell rest while allow people to pay to be removed
04:45 <MagicalTux> Pure extortion. I can't wait until they catch you.
04:45 <nanashi___> can't wait to see you behind bars mark. you rob one million people.
04:45 <MagicalTux> I didn't rob anyone. You are a criminal.
04:45 <nanashi___> maybe but i need sell this data to feed my family. you took food from their mouth like thousand other when you stole our bitcoins
04:46 <MagicalTux> You are a scumbag.
04:46 <nanashi___> what does that make you?

Thoughts? Clearly the bitcointalk nanashi___ isn't the real one, but has anyone tried to contact the real nanashi___? Could he prove possession of Mt. Gox user data?

P.S.: I don't even know whether these chat logs are real or not.

[nitehawk]

and criminal ...

Im pretty sure there no legit reason to have passport scans of other people ...

[itsunderstood]

bounty time on this asshole.

Someone ought to front the btc to capture him.

[SmokeTooMuch]

Well, someone could try contacting him via an email including a tracking pixel of some sort, but I doubt that would bring up any useful information (proxy, vpn, not loading pictures).

He was using an email from freemail.hu, so maybe someone could try to contact them and close his mail account or maybe hand over the ip records to law enforcement, but then again, I don't think this will have any real effect.

The truth is he will probably get away without punishment and maybe even with a lot of BTC...

Seriously, does anyone believe that this kind of data is worth anywhere near 100 BTC?

[V4Vendettas]

So now I have to go find a way of protecting myself from what can only be called Lifetime Gox membership.

Going to be spending a lot of time researching this because I really never expected to be at such high risk of identity theft.

Again thanks Mark its been a blast

[SmokeTooMuch]

Considering there a several bitcoin millionaires (fiat), I guess it is worth ~65.000 USD to identify some of them.

For crime and exploitation?  Sure, because, each of these people is in a traumatized state, due to megathefts of their coin.

They should be protected, but, its not like my country the USA actually protects people, so, they probably will continue to be dickless shits, persecuting btc and this will only get worse.  In fact, I would suspect they would front run the crime so as to "fight" that crime.  I am getting more and more pissed as this drags on.

Nobody wants to say "Exchanges can't gather personal data" because: "Laundering"

But, if you continually FAIL TO CATCH LAUNDROMATS, then how can you allow the regular people to be f'ed over?

They pretend to pursue "Laundry of Money" and fail collosally at that.  They fail epically at that.  And yet, they continue to screw the everyday world citizen, in spite of their massive inability to stop black markets.

In short, the conspiracy is that, they LIKE black markets just as they are.

I doubt that. There's millionaires around every corner where I live, the fact that someone made his fortune with Bitcoins doesn't make him a "better" target.

[goblins_]

Found the guy, I threw some 10 BTC to see if it's a scammer or not
will post updates if he sends me the 2gb of database as requested

[V4Vendettas]

So lets assume for a second that Gox recover at least something and give us back a %. We are now possibly in a  race with anyone that holds all our personal details ?

[goblins_]

got a reply from the hacker saying he's going to upload data

not to scare off anyone, if it appears that data is real I'll immediatly remove it

too bad you've just registered and therefore can't be trusted.

Crime scene despoliation combined with fog of war and multiple parties under LEO gag orders while none of the lawyers or LEOS know shit about tech.  Yes, it's that bad.

Too bad the "race" is being held up under law enforcer order.  Kinda like a mugging where the cop makes sure the mugger can run.  Naturally you wonder if the cop has a deal with the mugger.

Point is: People hate being mugged.  It's fuckin rude.  Also, cops who protect muggers, are rude x2.

So if you are in contact with him, why don't we just reveal his identity? Maybe some tracking link might work?

I don't know how to do that

My advice for all who were involved in mtgox

change your ID/passport tomorrow!

It might cost you something but I think it's worth it!


P.S. if someone could scam this guy would be nice!

Probably these keys can be analyzed as to age and travel through IP network.  

edit

Also bear in mind SR ongoing law process means: Some of the Goxxed are like noncom innocents sitting next to some SR account that LEOs are after.

So again, they are the prime frontrun suspects of the data, unless they already KNOW the data on their SR targets.  In any case, non combatants often get blown to shit when the cops are pursuing "their man".  Do we see them NOT engaging in high speed change on TV?  No, they will always opt for high speed chase, so, innocents better watch the fuck out.  You WISH this was Judge Dredd, but no, not as ethical as him.

[ozzymax]

I came late to the MtGox party and fortunately did not lose a lot and my heartfelt feeling go out to those that did, This news is not good, so now my passport, my bank details and my home address is now in the hands of hackers and they are trying to sell that info. I'm fucking furious. Karpeles needs to pay for this big time. post the hackers email address, this need to go to Interpol.

[V4Vendettas]

My advice for all who were involved in mtgox

change your ID/passport tomorrow!

It might cost you something but I think it's worth it!


P.S. if someone could scam this guy would be nice!

Yep its a start but I expect that only goes some of the way to sealing up the massive hole.

[...]

Although that company was babysat by Nazis, they might still do some good.  Let's see if any police on Earth, A: Have tech skill (ANSWER: no.) or B: Have ethics to protect the innocents.  I'm guessing they see kids as innocents, they are good at chasing after lost children, haha, though they fail in that black market as well.

Sad, not one decent policeman left on Earth who has the balls to do anything right, in the right moment.  Sad day for Earthlings.

got a reply from the hacker saying he's going to upload data

not to scare off anyone, if it appears that data is real I'll immediatly remove it

if anyone is actually purchasing the database you should think about handing it over to law enforcement.

and btw, just a quick reminder that for all we know goblins_ could trick us into thinking he has part of the database so he can scam others trying to buy it from him. (just sayin')

EDIT:

That nickname looks like the Hungarian Nánási surname spelled with English letters (similarly how my nickname comes from the Hungarian forename János). I am sure it's just a coincidence though.

Since he used a mail account at freemail.hu that actually sounds reasonable.

Anyway, massive crime and fraud is traditionally how markets operate, so if this is a moment for cryptocoin, I doubt there is enough guts among BTC holders or LEO or BOTH to do anything about it.  If they stay silent and ignore that carnage, they will have great vectors for further cointhefts.  It's not a zero sum game yet, but this is 10% of coins lost into Gox hole, so, BTC can take a few more total disasters like this, probably, and still serve as the backbone of cryptocoin.  The attractors to black markets and also nations, are quite impressive.

Notice that Euronote and Dollar are bloodlines for far far more black market $$$ than cryptocoin, so, this is kinda also about turf war, and in turf war, the innocent regular-people in the turf, are just customers, johns, dupes, etc.  I mean in terms of how gangsters and politicians think.

hey y'all.  When I was getting into bitcoin I noticed that mtgox and all other exchanges wanted all that personal info.  I said fuck no.  no way in hell.  To me, this was the antithesis of what bitcoin is supposed to stand for.  So I spent the extra time, effort and travel to obtain bitcoin person to person, with no records.  I've always been happy about that decision, but now I'm extra glad.

Keep in mind that coinbase and other exchanges also require personal info.   If you have an account on any of those, I would recommend closing it immediately and requesting by phone, email and snail mail that they expunge all your personal data from their servers and provide you written confirmation that they have done so.

And next time, buy locally.  Even if it means a little hassle.

I sent in my docs and was waiting for over 3 months to get verified. Never did, they shut down instead. I hope my passport is ok. That would really suck. I lost $2k on gox and having some asshole open up a bunch of shit in my name will just be the icing on the cake.

Real cybercrime scene doesn't care about this dump.

Because it contains no payment data, no extras e.g. user accounts like mail accounts to account holder or security questions, most people in database are poor, holders are distributed over the whole world (no country or region targeting/schemes possible), 70% of the accounts are unverified so they contain invalid or no data records, wrong demography/peergroup in dump: no targets/victims like: senior citizen, tech unsavy old people, foreign people, bad educated people, just: male, 20-40 year old nerds, with tech security, knowledge of most basics scams/schemes, 24/7 online checking all banking/wallet accounts ...

Worthless. Price is ludicrous anyway.

Those are just assumptions of yours. We don't know if the database contains any unverified account. Distributed all over the world doesn't mean useless, you can easily repack national databases and sell those to other interested parties. And even if "most people" are poor, there was a multi million dollar trading volume on gox, so there are at least some valueable targets.

[ninveh]

This has been a major concern for me since I started dealing with the exchanges: nobody knows what standards they use in protecting user-supplied documents.

Some of the people running the exchanges are known by name only, some not even by that. Just because somebody has some rudimentary coding skills and opens a web site, it is not enough for me to trust him with my personal documents.

If I send him money, I am hoping that in 2-3 days I am done with the transaction. With documents, this can be an engagement written in hell for eternity. Not only you never know if they follow through on your request to destroy the documents when the time comes, in a matter of fact they can't - they must keep them for LE if the need ever arises. Do they encrypt the files? to they keep it off site? we will never know.

He doesn't know what he's doing.
He's turning himself from the victim's side to the Gox's side where no one will give any mercy.

It doesn't cost us too much to crowd fund and find the seller, then the buyers when the seller is caught.
When this gets picked up by the media to piss off every investors to find the seller, 100BTC? too easy.

Too bad he can't ask us to donate BTC to promise to discard data as there is no way to prove it's gone.
Not sure how putting his head out there for hunt for just 100 BTC is good for his life against... lots of people out there with lots of money.

Since there are plenty of investors who are still not aware of this, we report this to media journalists that we know and pretty please them to write an article up, which isn't bad for them to get attention on their article which has a chance to get a followup when the guy is caught for a nice incentive. We hire a professional investigator team with crowd funding and... good luck to the seller (and potentially the buyers).

Gox will be more than happy to help find the sellers to disclose any hack attempt evidences they have.
It would be of our best interest to act quick.

Anyone with good knowledge in the investigation field, I wish them to come out and take a lead.

I won't post the link to the source or his email address, but apparently nanashi___ is selling the Mt. Gox user database:

Official sale of MT.Gox database: personal details for almost all Bitcoin users.
 
I am selling all data obtained in recently MT. Gox database hack. File is ~20gb and contains full personal information of all clients in gox system, including passport scan. This document will never be elsewhere published by us. Selling it one or two times to make up personal loses from gox closure. Asking 100BTC for entire document. Willing to sell it in pieces, 10BTC for 2gb of data.
 
I will verify that I am in possesion of this data before you make purchase. Interested buyers can contact me and I will send you all information contained in file about you personally. No one contact asking for parts of the file for free/me to send file before payment.

I hate those blackhats ~.~

He's going to need that 100BTC to keep himself safe & out of prison.

It is not Karpeles fault that a criminal is trying to sell your data.  The perpetrators of crime are the criminals, and in this case MtGox & its customers are the victims.  In fact, if someone hadn't been defrauding them via the malleability exploit, we wouldn't be in this situation.

It is 100% his fault. It was his responsibility to keep the files/data save. He probably never even thought about encrypting the passport scans.

Ever heard of gross negligence? It is a criminal offence. Mark just didn't give a fuck about security. All he cared was his stupid Bitcoin Cafe (so that this fat fuck doesn't even have to leave the building to get his Frappuccino).

What about a bank manager who doesn't lock the safe and leaves the door open at night for a year? Would you say it wasn't his fault if the save is empty after a year. Mark did exactly the same thing.

From another thread, but relevant here:

Another thing: Visited my local cops today. According to them, having personal information stolen is not identity theft -- yet. I have to wait until I suspect someone using my identity by getting bills for stuff I didn't buy. WTF???

I then went to my municipal office to null my passport and order a new one. Cost me 130$. Apparently fingerprint scans are now mandatory together with a coloured flashing light passport photo. Can only guess what Interpol is going to use that for.....

For sure my fingerprint data will get stolen from some public office at some point when criminals discover that they need fingerprints together with stolen passports.

Last I went to my bank to ask them if an IBAN could be used fraudelent and if I should block it some how. she told me that couldn't be done, then I asked if my ordinary account number and card number could be found through phone phishing banks from my IBAN only? She called me back after an hour and suggested that I better cancel my CC also!!

She did admit that KYC actually is a security risk for all customers in hacking cases like this of private businesses. Even if it prevents money laundering and tax evasion.

[leopard2]

ID theft in this order of magnitude, and many US citizens involved, probably means FBI (and some other 3 letter agencies) involvement. If caught, and chances are good, this means extradition to the U.S. and a 20 yrs plus sentence.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Gonzalez

Albert Gonzalez (born 1981) is an American computer hacker and computer criminal who is accused of masterminding the combined credit card theft and subsequent reselling of more than 170 million card and ATM numbers from 2005 through 2007—the biggest such fraud in history. ... On March 25, 2010, Gonzalez was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison.

Is that worth 100 BTC...

And yes, KYC is not good for customers at all, KYC is not there to protect the CUSTOMER

I hereby confirm that the data the alleged seller nanashi___ tries to sell is not legit or from Gox.

Someone on IRC requested a sample and the data he received was a public available living address that one may link to his email account. Nothing more, nothing less, but certainly not the data he submitted during his registration at Gox nor during the verification. The contact stopped after doubts were raised.

My best guess: an imposter who tried to scam a few coins in the shadow of the real Gox hack.

It is illegal in most countries to keep such data. I bet Japan is no different. Hence it is very likely this is just one more criminal count for MtGox and the F.F. Karpeles.

^ LOL ^ I always thought btc-e is russian and not from tokyo

the reasonable thing to do would be to change all passwords, i bet some people used the mt.gox account password elsewhere, i am not one of them tho.

[dexX7]

Shortly after I MtGox incident, I started getting a lot of phishing mails with fake "Bitstamp" and "BTC-e" messages. So obviously someone seems to have access to the very same email address I used on MtGox.

Do you have an account at Bitstamp?

Bitstamps mail database was stolen about two, three weeks ago - allegedly.

[glendower]

or are you delusional "it's not Karpeles fault" how old are you kid?

Older than you apparently. Others will judge whether wiser or not.

Look, the point is, its a bit like blaming a home owner when there house is left unlocked and subsequently burgled. Just because they made it easier through some inaction, at the end of the day it is the perpetrator of the crime who is the real villain.

Okay, so Karpeles is an idiot, but he didn't force people to give them their bitcoin / fiat.  But you're going after the wrong man.  Don't get hung up on vengeance against the gun dealer, go after the man that pulled the trigger.

This is not the same as what he did. What he did is to allow people to use his service and deposit Bitcoin and fiat while knowing that he did not have all his customer's funds (despite publicly saying that he did all the way until the end).

Now, I live in the UK, and in law here the accused has the presumption of innocence until proved otherwise. 

Karpeles undoubtedly knew that MtGox was in trouble due to the malleability exploit, but it may have taken some time before they got to the bottom of it and realised exactly how big a problem it was. They may have been working on the premise that they would have sufficient reserves in fiat to bail themselves out.

The fact is, we just don't know.  If Karpeles continued to trade whilst knowingly insolvent, then yes, he is guilty of that, and I am sure that he will have to face the courts to deal with that.

But, I maintain the real villain here is whoever defrauded MtGox in the first place.

new info:

Mt. Gox database sale: steps to remove yourself from dump before sales.
    
Most around here know we are selling gox customer info. Many have contact us requesting to pay to have their data removed before we sell. We are doing this for a cost of 0.25 BTC per person removed. We have already sold and release 20% of data to 2 buyers, so if you are apart of that it's too late for you.
    
We are release the rest of this data to our buyers sometime this week, so after that happens it is too late for everyone who has not been removed already.
    
1) Email [...] with the email you used with mtgox.
2) I will check file already sold, if you are not part of that I will send you unique bitcoin address. If you don't get response it means your data has already been sold in first batch or we have finalized sale of all data.
3) After you have sent .25 bitcoin payment, email us again to inform us of this.
4) Thats all, we will delete your personal data and passport scan from all copies of database.
    
DO NOT email asking to do this for cheaper unless you are doing 10+ accounts at once. Also do not email us asking to confirm what information we have about you. If gox had it, we have it, and as you can read on boards we have confirmed possession of this dump for many people. We let you use our same email for this as all other gox hack communication so you know we are same people. Doing this things will cause us to ignore all further message from you.

Also do not email us asking to confirm what information we have about you.

Interesting how this is the opposite of what he said before.

Afaik nobody has proven to be in possession of such data yet (please correct me if I'm wrong).
I'm starting to think this is all a scam.

[st4nl3y]

Now, I live in the UK, and in law here the accused has the presumption of innocence until proved otherwise..

this is one of the reasons i really like in UK laws

in Poland, the laws are so fucked up and corrupted, and totally opposite in this case - they lock you up first, without even listening to you and then you have to prove you are not guilty to get out. Polish gangsta police will lock you up for anything!

His English was really bad, that's right, but he said he had contact to the russian hackers. Maybe one of them has written the text for him. We can't say that for sure. But it is another hint for all of that being just a scam attempt.

[clownius]

Meh ive been spammed before.  Have fun with my email address guys.

[darkmule]

Seriously, does anyone believe that this kind of data is worth anywhere near 100 BTC?

Assuming this is not a scam, which it probably is.

Passport scans for people including many millionaires?  I'm sure it would be quite valuable in the hands of identity thieves and other criminals.  Anyone fool enough to trust their information to Gox is going to have to worry about all kinds of scams being done in their names.  Never mind that terrorist organizations often use the stolen passports of other individuals, so they might end up looking at the wrong end of a terror investigation they have nothing to do with, too.

Goxed indeed!

Even, though, if the current "offer" is someone trying to swindle people who really do deserve to lose their money if they're trying to buy this shit, we have no idea who has all this data, and no reason to believe one of them won't, in fact, eventually sell it, or just publish it for the fuck of it.

[clownius]

The math doesnt add up.

20GB wouldnt be many decent scans.  mtgox had how many users?

A database of usernames and other details like address and email maybe but not the actual verification scans those would take up heaps of space.

[darkmule]

Like I said in another thread, the database dump of 500,000 verified customers who uploaded minimum 2 documents ( suppose the average size is 1MB ) would be of 1000 GB size, not 20 GB.

Only if they stored them at full size.  You could probably batch process shrinking them all to some standard size.  Not saying Gox actually did this, or that this current thing isn't a scam.

[darkmule]

Look, the point is, its a bit like blaming a home owner when there house is left unlocked and subsequently burgled. Just because they made it easier through some inaction, at the end of the day it is the perpetrator of the crime who is the real villain.

Bullshit.

You have no responsibility to anyone but yourself (and perhaps your family) to lock your own front door.

When you take other people's money in trust, you have a fiduciary duty to protect it.  Incompetence is a breach of that duty.  Outright fraud is an even more unconscionable malfeasance.  Karpeles and Gox (if they even are separate) utterly failed to carry out the duty they'd agreed to by accepting deposits.

This is assuming, of course, that he isn't actually the thief himself, and frankly, I'd put him at the top of any suspect list.

[devthedev]

BTC-E is not based in Tokyo, like the email states.

[GIANNAT]

Shortly after I MtGox incident, I started getting a lot of phishing mails with fake "Bitstamp" and "BTC-e" messages. So obviously someone seems to have access to the very same email address I used on MtGox.

I get those mail on a mail acc which isn't attacched to any exchange, the fault is somewhere else 100%, not btc-e, not bitstamp
You should probably use the following method when you register on shady sited (but even on legit)
"usual_mail"+"site_name"@yourprovider.com
Unfortunately I started using this only recently so I don't know which site was compromised

[promojo]

I wonder if anybody has been kidnapped/ransomed/threatened etc. from the amount of BTC they have?  There has been a lot of talk going around about that.

Is it not the case that Bitcoin exchanges are unregulated? As such, isn't it the case that their fiduciary duty extends to doing what they see fit to keep customers assets secure?

Perhaps what we need is some regulation, or at the very least, a code of practice that exchanges are prepared to sign up to that will ensure that exchanges are not able to let such a situation arise again. 

[darkmule]

Is it not the case that Bitcoin exchanges are unregulated? As such, isn't it the case that their fiduciary duty extends to doing what they see fit to keep customers assets secure?

No, a fiduciary duty is determined by the circumstances, not by formalities.  Some formalities, such as actually being a banker, have statutorily established financial duties, but whether a fiduciary duty exists is a case by case determination.  Service providing bailees have some form of a fiduciary duty, have duties to protect the assets entrusted to them, and are liable for failure to do so.

Whether or not Gox was a registered or an illegal operation, it acted as a currency exchanger, and can't really fall back on "but I was lying and I was really running an illegal operation" as a defense.  The relationship was that people would deposit money (BTC or fiat) into Gox, which would hold it for them, and charge them for the service of exchanging it for another currency, then allow it to be withdrawn.

I.e. that money never belonged to Gox in the first place.  They solely held it for the benefit of another, and it was there for the purpose of Gox providing services, for which they were paid, to the real owner of the funds.  That establishes a fiduciary duty pretty much anywhere.

(Note:  I have not read the Mt. Gox TOS or other such documents, and can't seem to find them.  They might try to disclaim such a duty in there, which would have been wise considering how they were running their "business.")

Haha, I just noticed this part.

Probably related to:

I hereby confirm that the data the alleged seller nanashi___ tries to sell is not legit or from Gox.

Someone on IRC requested a sample and the data he received was a public available living address that one may link to his email account. Nothing more, nothing less, but certainly not the data he submitted during his registration at Gox nor during the verification. The contact stopped after doubts were raised.

My best guess: an imposter who tried to scam a few coins in the shadow of the real Gox hack.

[yefi]

It is not Karpeles fault that a criminal is trying to sell your data.  The perpetrators of crime are the criminals, and in this case MtGox & its customers are the victims.  In fact, if someone hadn't been defrauding them via the malleability exploit, we wouldn't be in this situation.

So, how about we start actually blaming this fiasco on the perpetrators rather than the victims.

Don't tell us you believe that smokescreen on malleability? His testimony makes no sense.

The kind of heaps of space that you would as a disgruntled employee have to walk out with on an external hard drive ?

[darkmule]

Quote:

"The malleability issue in bitcoin has been known for well over two years now [1]. At the time it seems to have been dismissed as ugly, but not worth bothering about."

  Not sure why it was never fixed in those two years.

Maybe they thought nobody would be stupid enough to entrust hundreds of millions of dollars to an identifier that everyone knew could be changed, especially after being personally told not to.  Most sentences that start "nobody would be stupid enough to. . ." are wrong, though.

[nanashi___]

Hello,

nanashi___ here, I am just passing by to do some PR.

Thank you for all your mails, I have received hundreds and hundreds and some people managed to escape my selloff by sending bitcoins for me to remove information about them.

I first want to tell that I am not a scam, I have hundreds of mails to answer to and I just cannot keep sending all your private data to anyone.
I can however provide the data before deletion after your payment but I just cannot prove to every one of you that I have the documents.
If you ask, I do have the documents and I am selling them at 10 BTC per 2GB or 100 BTC for the whole file, already several chunks of data were sold, you still may be a candidate for the escape.

You still can ask me to delete your information for 0.25 BTC, hurry because soon I will change the price to 0.5 BTC, supply and demand  

For those who are still skeptical, I cannot do anything for you, you are free to believe or not that I possess the file (though I have sent to early senders proof of information, maybe they can witness here).
However I personnally recommend you to pay for removal, I don't know the people to whom I sold the documents, you never know what they can do with them.

You can send me mails at [removed], however don't bother asking me stupid questions or ask me to send you your information, I will not answer and the price for extortion will be doubled for each attempt at sending these kind of mails. You have been warned.


For those who wonder, removal demands are very high and this operation has been very fruitful, I have already obtained several bitcoins from it.

[itsunderstood]

[...] Don't get hung up on vengeance against the FRAUD dealer, go after the man that pulled the trigger.

I fixed that for you.

Selling guns is legit.  Selling fraud shitcoins is not.

So, in fact, taking out both assholes, or at least beating them with rubber hoses or waterboarding them, is legal and fine, and actually moral and right.

i have your personal info. i can't prove that i have it, but if you pay me bitcoins, i'll promise that i won't release it.

worst attempt at extortion ever. if you're going to extort someone, at least show you're serious. dissuading your victim from questioning your authenticity isn't fooling anyone.

Where are you, nanashi?
How much would you charge to remove me and my dog's details as well?

Hey also, do you have a bulk deal for removing all kitty cats?

[Ente]

I pay for the private details of all kittens!
(Female kittens, no cats! One, two dogs ok. Not more.)
I'll pay double for all entries which were already deleted too.

04:37 <nanashi___> http://[...] use public pgp from there or any original hack posts to confirm its me
04:38 <LennyBruce> How do I know my data wasn't part of the piece of the file you have already sold?
04:38 <nanashi___> if you don't start getting spam/phishing emails yet, you probably not part of the piece sold. email me with address and i check sold file.
04:38 <nanashi___> if your data is not part, i send you bitcoin address and perminantly delete your data after payment recieved.
04:38 <nanashi___> [...] only, do not use old address.
04:39 <nanashi___> use same pgp to confim it me. i delete everything including passport scans and bank info.
04:40 <gonzop> nanashi is your group responsible for the new login on mtgox.com?
04:40 <nanashi___> we did not do mtgox.com login. they still control mtgox.com as far as i know
04:40 <gonzop> We're supposed to trust the guy who stole the DB and sold them?
04:40 <nanashi___> don't care. just responding. if i wanted to control mtgox.com i probably could.
04:40 <gonzop> Ok so it's safe to login to Mt Gox?
04:41 <nanashi___> yes as long as you trust frenchman who stole 951,116 btc. he probably had to put this up for legal reason
04:42 <MagicalTux> Nothing was stolen by me. Time will tell the full story. On the other hand you are exorting people after stealing our customer's info. You are probably the hacker who stoll all our Bitcoins in the first place.
04:42 <nanashi___> bla bla bla bla
04:42 <nanashi___> yes I stole one billion dollars and now am sticking around to sell data dump for peanuts
04:42 <nanashi___> ps they were not your bitcoins, they your customers
04:43 <MagicalTux> they're
04:43 <nanashi___> two people commit suicide already because of your fraud and you joke. you care?
04:43 <MagicalTux> How many people will kill themselves because of what you are doing?
04:43 <nanashi___> few poeple kill themself because of viagra spam. you ruined many people
04:44 <MagicalTux> Lots of people kill themselves because of identity theft, which is happening with the data you are selling.
04:44 <nanashi___> this is serious? if you are so concerned next time protect customer info better. why you even keep passport scans on server?
04:44 <nanashi___> if not for us someone else would have done exact same
04:44 <nanashi___> at least we give people honest chance to have data deleted before sale
04:44 <gonzop> nanashi is it too late to have my information removed before you sell the database?
04:45 <nanashi___> gonzop maybe not. have sold 10% of dump and am waiting until thur/20 to sell rest while allow people to pay to be removed
04:45 <MagicalTux> Pure extortion. I can't wait until they catch you.
04:45 <nanashi___> can't wait to see you behind bars mark. you rob one million people.
04:45 <MagicalTux> I didn't rob anyone. You are a criminal.
04:45 <nanashi___> maybe but i need sell this data to feed my family. you took food from their mouth like thousand other when you stole our bitcoins
04:46 <MagicalTux> You are a scumbag.
04:46 <nanashi___> what does that make you?

Thoughts? Clearly the bitcointalk nanashi___ isn't the real one, but has anyone tried to contact the real nanashi___? Could he prove possession of Mt. Gox user data?

P.S.: I don't even know whether these chat logs are real or not.

This nanashi hast to be taken down. Any ideas how to do this? Did anyone on the IRC channel record the IP address he connected from?

Heard this yesterday over on ##mtgox-chat and posted here:

Might not be the same guys, but they are kind of set on making it worse on Gox customers, could be the same guys. Ip recorded.

Erm, it's pretty clear to me even without context that marcusw was making a joke there on the basis of "I can sell you a screenshot that says whatever you like so why do you think your own genuine screenshots are worth anything to begin with?"

In reality scammers are kind of a good thing. Don't get me wrong, it's completely deplorable and I don't condone it, but it's a bit like the jungle. Imagine a monkey population, they live in the threes, but occasionally they go down on the ground to find certain plants, in some areas, or based or certain sounds and smells, a predator can be spotted.

Some small apes are killed or eaten in the process, but the other wisen up and stay away from the predators, and learn how to protect themselves and not to take too big risks.

Or it could be like being a small fish, you hide under a stone, and you want to swim to a stone that looks attractive not too far away, and in the corner of your eye, you see a big fish - but you assume it won't harm you, so you take the chance and swim. You get eaten. Your brothers wait till they can't see any large fish, and swim safely over to the other big stone.

Live and learn.

It gets a bit more complicated when the "dangerous factor" and "the factor training/warning you" is the same thing ;-)
But yes, it has some resemblance to evolution. And the community already did react, evolve, with escrows and audits and full disclosures for example.
