Some of you may know me as the HODLER. I need to say this now because I may be arrested soon. I live in Japan and have been trading bitcoins for a while. Last week I made my first trade on LocalBitcoins.com. I put in an offer to sell some BTC via bank transfer. Someone responded and sent me the transfer. I then confirmed that my bank account had been sent the correct amount and released the BTC to the other party. After work, I went to withdraw the cash, only to find that my bank account had been frozen by the cyber crime division of the Tokyo police force. I called several times to figure out why but they basically refused to answer my questions. After getting my employer involved, I finally found out that I was under suspicion of theft and/or money laundering. The person owning the bank account that had transferred the cash to me purportedly did not authorize the transfer. The police suspect that I hacked the guy's bank account and stole his money. I have little cash on me and am likely out the bitcoin I sent to the other party. So, I am reaching out to the community here. If I get arrested and questioned, I may be in deep shit. The Japanese police are not known for their fair treatment of foreigners. They may try to pin the crime on me since they likely won't be able to catch the actual criminal and they don't enjoy having to report a crime where they didn't catch the criminal. I will need funds to fight this. If it all blows over and I get exonerated, I will personally refund you the exact amount you donated minus mining fees, don't worry.

Doubt anyone will give you coins, but you could list the name of the member who scammed you...

Am I the only one confused by "minus mining fees" ? And why would anyone want to get involved in this?

probably. The transaction fees are fees you pay to the miners for their mining. Mining fees is a perfectly good way to describe the fee.

If MK of Gox can still happily sip coffee in the morning everyday in Japan, I doubt you will get into any serious trouble. Show prove of your communications with the culprit and the bitcoin transaction and you should be able to leave. Your account will be still be frozen and will be under investigation, but you will be able to post an update tomorrow.

The potential evidence that involves Gox is very complex, probably too so for law enforcement to understand. However the "hacking" of bank accounts (making unauthorized withdrawals?) as the OP claims to be framed of is a much simpler crime.
