I do not get this. The guy is hiding and still processing withdrawals even today. Not btc though. Just drk and other coins. Is half of his brain honest and the other half a scammer? Why would you still pay coins to people? There must be a plan here. I think he will show up very soon crying he is a victim and someone stole all the bitcoins. What u guys think of my theory?

I think a few people from the old team at V1 Mintpal are trying to help out with withdraws ATM.

4124726.00000000 MYR  2014/10/14  Withdrawal was canceled,But my coin did not return my account

Hey guys, can anyone please answer one question. When i log in to what is left of mintpal, i dont have any REQUEST withdrawal link, all i have is that ridiculous text box and nothing else. Could it be its because i have only XMR and BTC outstanding ballance or what?
I see alot of you guys have links to withdrawal pages, i dont, whats wrong?

I was given both a withdrawal ID and message field and I only have XMR there. I am a bit mixed up on this in general, some people say they just got coins, is it JUST the BTC that Moolah got away with?
Is there hope for those of us with alts?

[tlcantin]

I read somewhere that some alt coins were lost on the migration to v2. My theory is that MYR was impacted by that. I do not believe Green is still withdrawing the coins for people... my thought is the old mintpal staff is the ones doing it. I lost quite a bit of MYR and while I am hoping I will be able to recover it, I don't have much confidence.

 I knew I should of withdrawn from MP when it started going downhill.. One of those times I should of listened to my gut, bye bye 1.5 BTC.

[tombtc]

6.24 BTC here, 900 drk. All missing balance after "error-failed withdrawal".
Anyway I don't think it's mintpal guys doing the withdrawals now. They would have said something right?

FYI - be careful in talking about the Mintpal heist on the dogecoin subreddit.  I have had more than one account banned by the /r/dogecoin mods for asking why Alex Green/Ryan Gentle was allowed to keep pumping his business on the subreddit despite numerous people sounding the alarm on him.  Just today I had an account banned by the mods for asking a mod, who was explaining that it was reddit who banned Ben D (/u/NeutralityMentality) not the mods, whether the Mods reported Ben D to the Reddit Admins.  It is really bad over there right now. The shibes need help, honestly. One person nailed it the other day - Moolah should have been banned as soon as the mods received word that he was making illegal public offerings on the subreddit, not after the mods start playing judge and jury.  I tell you this so that you appreciate the importance of speaking freely on these types of issues.   

It makes sense, as i don't believe The Karpelles, green, now Cannabis coin etc.. etc.. is just one person behind the scam, i believe is well organize and is the same people all over and over again, they just change the front face from time to time.

Same people over and over again.. makes little to NO sense...   Even though it is possible that some of the same people may NOT be satisified with their earlier heist and attempting to continue to profit from scamming in BTC, that "same people" theory seem to be too simplified of a world view.. in my humble bumble opinion.

Yeah that is true, might not be the same people over and over again but the scam repeats itself, hidden premine blocks and all that, and they always get away with it.

Just got this from Bitstamp...

thank you for your email. Unfortunately, none of the addresses which you have specified belong to Bitstamp or its customers.

We are nevertheless looking into the matter and are vigilant on not letting the stolen bitcoins go through Bitstamp's wallets.

Should you have any additional qustions or info, please feel free to share

These are the addresses I sent:

https://blockchain.info/address/14S6kiHzVNcSCA9TCiPaEGJfSiP1HHokEd
https://blockchain.info/address/122JyMtGtiiP4mMFn86tAGfrqiyhXAnrrk

so who's addresses are they?

Hmmm, It's a weird one, 3 gigantic addresses are linked together and there's no real proof of exactly what they are. I can't believe it's not an exchange
the two listed above are active now, the older address that sent to both of them is below and ran from Jan-Jun
https://blockchain.info/address/1FVcMfHXPp8JSCduYyELzQZf6X4tSv89ho?offset=1050&filter=0

I'm amazed you can have 3 such huge and active addresses and no real proof of who they belong to by searching google.
Bobba, those 2 addresses i thought were Stamps, well the 183k one mainly, when Stamp do their proof of reserve the amount of btc i remember them having was 183k so thought it was theirs but obviously not

It might not be too important because it was only a small amount of btc sent there, the vast majority of the stolen coins are sitting in the addresses i listed, so i'll be keeping an eye on them.

I know most people hate coloured coins or blacklisted coins, but it would be great if Bitcoin had some way of marking those coins so everyone knows they are scam coins and basically made them impossible to cash out.

that address is refenced in a reddit post bout gox

While this crypto space is developing, seems a lot of ripe areas for scamming.. .and maybe justifies a need for research and maybe even to stick with the more established players, until players in the space can provide a longer track record that they can be trusted.  Does NOT seem to be any simple solution, except caution and maybe NOT putting too many resources into these various trust-based centralized spin-offs.... I know that it is easier said than done especially when many of us want to give support to the crypto-world and likely even to have some of our own profits from our crypto-space investments.
