Pirateat40 was who I first thought of as well, but you also should adjust for the USD figure as well.  The bitcoins pirate stole were worth a lot less than the ones that Mt. Gox "lost".

While https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=576337 attempts to do this, it notes it is outdated.

Stay safe.

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

He is doing his best to keep it updated. It has most of the scams anyways.

OP is looking for scammers (eg pirateat40), not services that were hacked.

There's a difference between a service that was hacked (which is something that can happen even if you place great importance on the security), and a scammer.

Hey TradeFortress,
I'm still trying to settle something with you regarding funds that I lost when Inputs.io was hacked. Can you please PM me so we can work something out? I would really appreciate a response of some sort.
Thanks.

Most likely sold. Posting from that account is pointless actually.

What makes you guys think it was hacked or sold? He's defending the service. The account would probably be worthless to someone else anyway.

When he first returned he was making posts that were out of character, didn't seem like him. Probably is him, he probably never left, just switched accounts and logs back on the TF account every once in a while.

I can't think of a more worthless reply, enjoying Stunna's new rates?

The title of this thread says it all. So who do you think it was?

P.S. don't say Mark Karpeles cause he was never in this forum.

Good job making claims you know nothing about.

It is a know fact that mark karpeles was known on the forums as magicaltux.

Wow what noob OP is lol  Grin Grin Grin

He was posting weirdly once he came back. It might still be him, we can't really know. His account is useless to him now anyways.

Why do he need to come make a defense, when he has gone and nobody can find him in real life?

This is insane. This theft will probably be the biggest scam in Bitcoin, ever.

Holy shit, but he ended up in jail so no win for him.
What happened with the BTC?

I never followed the case but im sure someone else did. 'Probably had assests seized.' Not sure really
