[shiningpath]

I just received my DRK from mintpal, just waiting to get confirmed. Maybe there is hope after all?

this send of 148btc from the wallet, always following the largest amount, leads to

https://blockchain.info/address/122JyMtGtiiP4mMFn86tAGfrqiyhXAnrrk   184,664 = BITSTAMPS ADDRESS ??!!?? = cashing out stolen funds

Should this be reported to bitstamp or some other exchanges to try and lock his account (if his name/names match) ?

DEFINITELY. HAS SOMEONE REPORTED THIS YET? BITSTAMP SHOULD FREEZE THAT WALLET PENDING INVESTIGATION IMMEDIATELY.

It might be a year or more, but this prick will eventually resurface, probably broke, infected with an STD or three, and looking for a scam to perpetrate. You really can't hide forever in the world of the interwebz and when Ryan/Alex blows through the 3700 BTC ($1,470,000 some odd dollars worth!) he will return to his old haunts....

Then Karma with a capital K will likely come upon his sorry ass......

and yes, he got me for a few coins also.......

info

would you be willing to write an article on your investigation that we will publish?

It's not really an investigation, if you start at the original address and just follow the transactions out that are over 100btc, always following the largest amount you pretty soon end up at those addresses, the unconfirmed one has already moved on another few times and is now sitting here

A username "Caffeine Drive" mining with Eligius has his mining address filter through to an address that just received 1.4btc of the stolen coins

what you have done is admirable and should be shared with more than those who happen to read your post in this thread in this section of this site.  I think others would be made aware of the various ways to get accountability.

Everyone is crazy about 'dark-this' and 'dark-that' until it's their money that is "mixed-up" in all of the 'darkness', then they want a money trail, evidence, and intervention.

Anyway, please contact me if you decide to do a 200 - 1000 word article on how you investigated the Mintpal/Moolah scandal.

Totally agree- I've done my best to alert Bitstamp in the most immediate way possible. If this info we're lookin at is incorrect the worst thing that happens is the wrong account is frozen for a few hours. Best thing that happens is we catch a theif.

Please RT this - https://twitter.com/AltCoinInvestor/status/523889570296135680 or tweet to @Bitstamp (or email) them yourself. If anyone knows of a direct operator over there we can reach out to, lets do that ASAP.

Could somebody please explain to me why I have a string of numbers and letters under withdrawal status. It use to say pending and it was recently replaced with the string.

It means your transaction is being processed. The string is the TX id of the coins you're requesting. Check the relevant coin's blockchain explorer to see if it's a legit tx id.

great work

so what is the wallet address that sent to bitstamp, do we need to be more specific?

EDIT: what I mean is like is there a link to the actual transaction going into Bitstamp on blockhain.info or something

I had successful withdrawal of RDD CLOAK CRYPT DOGE and DRK,
Have some dust of BTC and 200 UTC still stuck.

UTC withdrawal status:  Daemon-returned-error

Did anyone got their UTC out?

[danosphere]

I (as Syscoin Team Manager) have now directly emailed Bitstamp in regards to this matter. I hope they act as responsible operators and look more closely at this matter.

I searched on https://chainz.cryptoid.info/drk/, shows no result when i search the TX id.

There is no karma only justice.

Until scammers like the Mt Gov & moolah scumbags start ending up in ditches dismembered these scams will continue.

DOX all scammers and drag them from their homes screaming then post on youtube using your TOR device. This will slow the scammers down.

The vital address here is https://blockchain.info/address/14S6kiHzVNcSCA9TCiPaEGJfSiP1HHokEd which has:
Total Received   255,069.02367412 BTC   
Final Balance   33,744.14068149 BTC

So it currently has 33k btc in it. The original 148 btc withdrawal from the 3,700 btc was gradually filtered away until the biggest chunk 58.7821574 BTC
was sent to that address. That address has recently sent funds to, what i believe to be, Bitstamps wallet. The thing is, most of the coins being filtered down lead to a simple path, they are all sitting in addresses, but this one ends up in a gigantic wallet. That wallet basically only sends to the 180k Bitstamp wallet and to new clean wallets, like it's Bitstamp moving a chunk of coins to cold storage every so often and the rest is like a new change address or hot wallet. If that 33k wallet was found to be owned by Bitstamp (i'm guessing their hot wallet) then it would be a direct link to Ryan cashing out stolen funds via Bitstamp on 1st September. I'm guessing he used those funds to buy his plane tickets and pay for the hotel etc, but definitely Bitstamp would have to have some kind of paperwork/evidence on file.

is the exact id, stolen funds sent to the 33k address 2014-09-01 17:00:47 if anyone needs it to report it to Bitstamp
