It's been far too long to get any useful information out of the blockchain.

You're out of your jurisdiction, sir. This is an MIB investigation. Respect my authority.

Why doesn't someone just call Tom Williams and ask? Christ.

I recall seeing some mention in this forum that MyBitcoin doesn't follow the usual coin-selection and change-making rules, presumably because its Bitcoin-handling code was custom-written; and that it shuffles coins around between its own addresses. Given this list of addresses, it should be possible to learn some things about it; and I strongly suspect that its transactions are distinctive in some way, which should make it possible to find *all* the MyBitcoin addresses.

Another theory - the reason MyBitcoin came back briefly and returned some coins, was to get plausible deniability when spending the coins that were stolen.

Great point. And it might have worked, had all the coins been spent ASAP. But these recent spends from old MyBitcoin addresses aren't going to go unnoticed... I suspect the folks tracing them are going to hunt them to the end.
