Interesting...
Long ago, when bitcoins weren't priced anywhere near where they are now, I sent my friend some to an address he provided. He promptly forgot all about them. Now that they're worth more, he wants to know how to retrieve them. He doesn't remember where or how he got the bitcoin address, but I do know where I sent them and where they are now.

They are parked in this address, along with 10000 other bitcoins. Does anyone know who controls this block, and where my friend can reclaim them? I hope it isn't mywallet, which I think was popular at the time. Thanks for your help.
Thanks for your comments, but you are not understanding the situation. I sent my friend 1.5 bitcoin to an address he provided to me, and they were almost immediately sucked into another address that now currently holds over 10000. There were transactions sent to that address as recently as last month. I'm asking if anyone knows who controls that address, which is likely being kept in cold storage by some online wallet provider. I'm looking for that provider. Thanks again.
Hi if you are telling the truth which could be or no do you remember what type of computer it was? What brand name was it. Then maybe we can help your brain remember the info and stuff.
It was a Toshiba laptop. Will that help in the process of retrieving the private keys? On a second thought, maybe it was a Dell. OP said in a different topic that he likes peanut butter and it is possible that some of the stuff is still glued to the keyboard. Now you have two of the most significant pieces of information to retrieve the private key. You have a Toshiba, actually Dell computer + peanut butter stains on the keyboard. How long until you have the private key?
