Dear Laxo Trade,

Our website (BTCt.com) was attacked by hacker at 03:43:14 of Sept.25th, 2014(Chinese Time), and lose 107BTC. After investigation, we found the following address 1LaxoTrQy51LnB289VmoSAgN6J6UrJbfL9 from your website https://www.laxotrade.com  transacted with hacker’s address 1BJWrHY7DJwCaG7tay9WG31T7ep11EJzun at 21:41:39 of Spet. 25th,2014(Chinese Time). We sincerely emailed to you to help us investigating it, but you replied “stop spamming us”.

Why can not help us? Is there any dirty secret?

The evidence is:

1) Transaction records between hacker’s address and yours:

Instead, we get kindly supports from bitfinex, bitstamp, Okcoin, huobi.com, bter.com, btctrade.com, btc38.com, btcchina.com, chbtc.com, btcig.com, etc. They all help to track and monitor the hacker. BTC field is a Distributed Autonomous Corporation. Every company or person in BTC field should say “No” to any act of thief. If you know something but refuse to help us, that is meaning you are against BTC spirit. We will cooperate with other BTC companies and btcmen to publicize your irresponsible behavior. And we will doubt where is the money transacted in your web coming from, what is the relationship between you and hacker. Btcmen will see you clearly.

So, we still hope you can help us to track the hacker. Tell us the user information of 1LaxoTrQy51LnB289VmoSAgN6J6UrJbfL9. We only want to know why the user transferred to hacker 1BJWrHY7DJwCaG7tay9WG31T7ep11EJzun and their relationship.

Waiting for your reply.

Laxotrade is a website that spams everyone that has any recent bitcoin trades. They send a very small amount of coins to everyone to try to bring people to their website through advertising.

Since Laxo sent a very small amount to the hackers address it was probably just because they saw his address in a recent trade. It's not like the hacker sent bitcoins to laxo...

 :)Thanks for your reply, but there is a question why they cannot tell  us the user information of this suspicious address.

Laxo probably found the address by "mining" the forum for various bitcoin addresses. It was most likely an address on someone's profile.

A google search for the address only yielded results from this thread and various block explorers, although it is possible they got the address from the fact that the address is/was associated with a large transaction

Exactly. Laxotrade cannot help you here and they're not a concern to you in this matter, but I don't see why they would  help anyway given the dodgy nature of their business. Unfortunately your coins are gone and there's not much you can do about that.

Because they just take any address out of the blockchain and send spam transactions there. They know as much about the address as anyone else seeing it in the blockchain.
