No, Scandanavian languages are ET languages.  Unrelated to most other languages on Earth.  Freaks in the north!!

I am going on hiatus.

theymos has been given the private key corresponding to Bitcoin address 1terryG9vPoB4ktv9w5eGgCKqCfJtoqF5. I have funded the address with 47 BTC — more than enough to settle any outstanding cases.

He has my full permission to use the funds in issuing refunds to any customers who have decided not to accept the refund when offered one, or only accepted a partial refund (they are entitled to the remainder). I am sending a list these users along with the respective amounts to theymos together with the private key. Any other use is strictly forbidden.

I may claim the funds left in the future.

thanks for the lols

Apologies for bumping this old thread/post, but I stumbled upon the 1terryG... address by accident while conducting an investigation into InstaWallet, due to the fact they haven't returned my 1,132 BTC, going as far as stating that I don't even have a claim, but I digress on that issue.

I found a wallet of interest, making a note of it via the following post:

Ongoing list of InstaWallet wallets of interest. (even named the title of this post such for easy recovery down the road)

https://blockchain.info/address/1uKVtMUK7E2CkVynYa7ytnTu6wGqFTxUV

The tx in question is https://blockchain.info/tx/c67a151ce7e1437be612f0e452e1b319b0d2d3d9e2cef165dbc79e3a8dd41e9d

https://blockchain.info/address/1terryG9vPoB4ktv9w5eGgCKqCfJtoqF5 only had two transactions.

2012-06-19 20:14:06
2013-03-29 16:37:23 (2 days prior to the InstaWallet supposed "hack")

After adding bitcoins to bring the amount to an even 50 BTC, the wallet was moved to https://blockchain.info/address/1uKVtMUK7E2CkVynYa7ytnTu6wGqFTxUV, of which was the last deposit into this wallet, for a grand total of 600 BTC that not one satoshi has ever been spent.

The 1uKVtMUK7E2CkVynYa7ytnTu6wGqFTxUV wallet was created on 2013-03-27 23:20:37, and received two transactions from InstaWallet's Hot Wallet, including the last odd amount, of which is odd, in and of itself.



The question I now have is who owns https://blockchain.info/address/1uKVtMUK7E2CkVynYa7ytnTu6wGqFTxUV and, moreover, how is it connected to InstaWallet?

<I will mirror this post over on InstaWallet's claim thread.>

Don't sure if it's relevant to my investigation of InstaWallet, but terrytibbs last posted on January 12, 2013, 03:51:16 PM, and still stops by to lurk.

I just noticed that he signed up on this forum the next after Matthew N. Wright and I join.

I do. I had intended to withdraw my coins from Instawallet for a long time, before finally doing in smaller chunks in the week preceding the "hack". In hindsight, it appears I was quite lucky.

I am in no way affiliated with Instawallet or its operators. Great detective work, though!
