Bold: Bitstamp Hack speculation

[fairlay]

If you have reliable information when or if at all Bitstmap will return and withdrawals will be possible you can directly earn money on our prediction market: https://www.fairlay.com/event/category/bitcoin/bad-news/

If not you can at least have a look what people are thinking how are willing to put money on it.

Guys, am I the only one thinking this event and the latest price fall are all subtly linked together? We've been there before. IMO, Bitstamp team has something to do with this "hack" thing.

Wouldn't it make more sense that the hacker started to dump coins? He maybe just wanted to get rid of them and fill his pockets...

Apparently all the stolen coins are still in this address.

It's had no withdrawals from it yet.

Is it possible to have the wallet.dat and yet have no access to the coins? Why haven't they been tumbled yet?

It beats me. Maybe the hacker is too worried about getting busted to move the coins.

We should send a bitmessage to the hacker and ask him

Why wouldn't Bitstamp just move the coins to a secure wallet themselves if they have the private keys/wallet.dat along with the hacker

What is the rush?  Transactions are irreversible.   In prior hacks attackers have waited days or even weeks before they starting obfuscating the trail.

The assumption is the address containing the stolen coins is not controlled by BitStamp but is instead under the control of the hacker.

What do you mean assumption? I thought it was news
