He caught out a couple scammers. He passed away or left bitcointalk?
Theymos should implement a RIP section to profiles to those who passed.
Edit:
I am guessing passed away. Sorry to hear about this. This is twice now. Two valuable members gone. Paraipan bitcointalk and Syrillian from overclock.net passed away from cancer.

"No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee."

250 BTC isn't something to sneeze out. And even if he is dead we need to go after his estate.

Please post obituary so we can stop thinking about is it or is it not BS. EDITED: I am thinking about this case from morning .. and I hope his spirit will forgive us asking about obituary and stuff... I just want to believe that he is alive. He was young and this happen so suddenly. He was with us two days ago and now he isn't... I do not know him and I shouldn't care, but I do care as he was a part of our community. A community that I choose to join. It is like a family.. "(...)

Paraipan (Alex) was affected by leukemia like one year ago, he has been fighting against this illness but at last his liver could´n hold the hard treatment was receiving.
Last days have been very painful for him, his family and friends, so I only can hope that finally Paraipan rest in peace.
How I wish you were here my dear friend.

I believe he had leukemia. No proof, tho. Edit: he announced it here (in spanish). <transalated> May 17, 2013, 4:26:21 AM Dear friends, especially bitcoiners foreros I need to share with you the reason for my short absence of these past days, and possibly some more in the future. A mild allergy and has been getting worse over the course of a week I forced to visit the emergency department of the University Hospital 12 de Octubre. After all relevant evidence I have been diagnosed with acute leukemia in a more dangerous levels to view doctors. Right now I feel much better and mostly stable thanks to a team of physicians and nurses tremendous, thanks guys. Has been a really nasty surprise for me but we will have to move on. Thanks to my family and I hope you all get over it soon. Forgive me if I'm not commenting or supporting the community as usual, but when I do I hope to incorporate completely and I got used to the new routine already know hehe Hugs. If he was sick and he knew he can die in a year or two he should not agree to hold 250BTC forums coins. https://blockchain.info/address/1PFkqgBBrSKikyyUGDerZMfzvCNPgKrR3o2013-03-19 22:12:16 The 250 BTC was never moved back to theymos' control. |

This is very sad... I didn't even know that he was sick. He was with the community for a long time, and he was a very good person.
Does anyone know how to contact his family? Someone should immediately tell them that paraipan had at least 250 BTC of the forum's money (and probably more personal money) hidden away somewhere, so they shouldn't throw away any of his stuff. I'll eventually (after an appropriate period of time) need to contact them about returning the forum's money. Hopefully recovery is possible.

I agree that a period of time needs to pass before paraipan's family are asked about recovery, yes - else we run the risk of an emotional response, and aggravating a grieving family is unfair on them. |

Well I never know the guy but if he really died then that sux.
Only one thing is kinda strange, if he was aware of his health issues then why did he kept the BTC and who logged to his account today?

If he did tell anyone (like whoever logged into his account), he didn't publicize it so there's no pressure for them to do the right thing. |

Thanks for bumping this. I had no idea Paraipan died. Did someone ever contact the family about the forum money? Maybe theymos should contact the Spanish police about the money. They should know Paraipan already because he likes to file reports with them. |

What do you mean "left the community" ? Can you be more specific?
If he's dead, indeed very sad. But I am hoping he just left the forums and Bitcoin maybe but is very much alive.

It's a good day to remember all of those that are no longer with us. Have a good Day of the Dead.

Also, I wonder if the 250 btc is now lost forever.
Anyway, if true, RIP theymos told that he will try to recover it.  It's a good day to remember all of those that are no longer with us. Have a good Day of the Dead.
+1. Rest in peace! ~~MZ~~ |

Sad to hear about PARAIPAN, Hope his family are doing better now. Sad story... I unfortunately never knew the guy but I'm curious if the forums funds were ever recovered by theymos?
I don't think so. if you go here, the money hasn't been moved to any other account since 2013 https://blockchain.info/address/1PFkqgBBrSKikyyUGDerZMfzvCNPgKrR3o |

He died in April 2014 according to the OP. You'd know that though if you read the thread & stopped shit posting for your sig ad. Seriously! |

Unless theymos had a property caretaker contract that is in a legal form in Semenciuc's home country they can't do anything. In my country, possession is ownership of property. To most governments of the world Bitcoin is nothing more than property so he didn't steal money, if it was stolen at all. The only good thing that will come of this is a valuable lesson (for theymos and others). Don't trust anyone online. They have no incentive to be honest or treat you fairly and every incentive to lie and steal from you. |

They have no incentive to be honest or treat you fairly and every incentive to lie and steal from you. Maybe this time they will start to use multi-sig addresses . Well, of course, I'm sure theymos will now. I remember the splitting of the forum funds. Back then, theymos was taking a lot of shit for holding 6k or so btc in donations and advertising revenue. He decided to divest himself of some caretaker responsibility by splitting some of the funds up between "trusted" forum members. Multi-sig wasn't an option yet. Generally, I think the idea was a good one and most of the people he trusted were honest. At the time, there really was no protection against someone dying other than the fact that only small amounts were given to each person to hold (back then 250btc wasn't much, at the time I was sitting on my own stash of 2000btc). Paraipan was a turd and I didn't like him but I don't think he stole the coin. I'm pretty sure he had a large stash of his own. |

Either that or the family of the supposedly deceased has stolen the coins. How else would those coins be on the move now? |

That was also why I was hoping to get in contact with the family in case they disposed of his laptop / papers etc. From what I could tell they lived meekly and any sort of money would have been a great help, be it the money he's owed by the forum or his bitcoin funds. |

That sounds like the most likely scenario to me. The family disposed of his belongings and in it the new computer owner scored a couple of Bitcoin addresses with forum and personal funds. In the case where you buy a old oil painting at a yard sale with a Rembrandt under the watercolor on top, you are the owner of that Rembrandt. In the case of a purchased laptop, the guy buying it may legally own those btc. |

Yes you are right but it is highly unlikely that new owner knows who was the first owner and that the laptop has precious coins.What if he formatt the laptop before using? |

Ok, human diversity guarantees that someone will format a newly acquired 2nd hand computer without even looking at it but, seriously? |

Even Windows 10 offers doing a write cycle to an entire partition when resetting. |

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"

Do you know that was an address controlled by Paraipan? Do you have a thread link regarding the previous ownership of the address? |
1) Self-Custody is a right. There is no such thing as "non-custodial" or "un-hosted." 2) ESG, KYC & AML are attack-vectors on Bitcoin to be avoided or minimized. 3) How much alt (shit)coin diversification is necessary? if you are into Bitcoin, then 0%......if you cannot control your gambling, then perhaps limit your alt(shit)coin exposure to less than 10% of your bitcoin size...Put BTC here: bc1q49wt0ddnj07wzzp6z7affw9ven7fztyhevqu9k
