Ooo, nice job Sherlock!

I second your question. "Where did you get these coins bro?"

[juju]

So this thread here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=938228.80

-snip-

I actually thought about this, what if a hacker takes addresses people post publicly and seeds them or tries to make people think they are the ones involved. I actually had this thought when I added a vanity address in my signature to hopefully collect tips, I would hate to have a loose association. Because threads like this could be created

Hmm he had 20 stolen coins and knew nothing about BTC... my guess is they weren't a gift but he likely paid for them at a huge discount through a dark web site??

He seems very new to bitcoin and not knowing how it works to have 20btc (he didn't know you can't reverse transaction) if anyone is able to try and find some information on this guy we definitely need to because he is definitely able to buy coins from the thief and he could lead us to the source.

How can you be very new at Bitcoin and own 20 BTC? Unless he hold them for like 3 years.

Still considered new at that point?

I bet that was one of the hackers (or the hacker), messing around to see if anyone here would notice the 20btc's origin.
Probably just testing people and rubbing it in.

Kind of farfetched that a Bitcoin noob would happen to buy 20btc cheaply on the darkweb, and then lose it immediately while drunk.
Sounds like BS.

That was the hacker trolling or testing. IMO.

This is possible, he should just sit on the coins for along time and forget about them. Only move them when we have to update our cryptographic primitives for address generation.

we must go deeper

[gjgjg]

Pass the info onto bitstamp , it could be helpful (assuming they're checking into this) they might be able to get ip of btctalk account or follow the coins until he cashes out and then pounce on them.
Good work btw!

Unfortunately, it is not possible to revert Bitcoin transaction. Mind to explain what "mistake" did you do last night? Missclick? The 20 BTC was sent to another address just 7 second after receiving it. https://blockchain.info/address/19wN6jYvQSkW2acaSZXBavYAfde31YJrYJ

I was a bit drunk yesterday. I was trying to purchase 20 Giga Hash (2x10Ghs) hash power. By mistake I selected 20 Tera Hash (2x10Ths) from the drop down and clicked the link and it was gone. My friends told me this is the biggest bitcoin support forum. So if I tell my problem here, they can return my transaction.

Apologize for just getting up to speed, but I think I uncovered a clever way to wash nefariously obtained coins: Purchase from a third-party, or one you own, hashing power. Genius!

A third-party entity probably won't take the time to see where the coins stemmed from because they're happy to just receive a purchase. Hell, even BitPay didn't take the time to see that the coins they sent to BFL were only a hop away from being deposited into BFL's 1QAHV BTW, then used from that address under the guise that it stemmed from HashTrade. BitPay was extremely happy for the PR.

EDIT: After a few hops backwards, I find this: http://www.walletexplorer.com/address/1GNN1Lboxaak3YLafN6o5rUwByYtBBdWht

This is the second time I've come across NitrogenSports.eu. Yesterday, I saw it for the first time doing forensics on BFL's coins after they were returned to them from the FTC. What's noteworthy is that both Sonny Vleisides and Jeff Ownby are well-versed in setting up, maintaining, and scamming millions via online gambling sites, their partnership going back to Sonny's Laissez Faire City days.

He seems like a beginner to Bitcoin world if you ask me , but thats accident will teach him to never drink again 
He also updated his post , CloudMining.website may refund him after all :

Update: Thanks to the forum members, I found a way to contact the address owner. Now, I have asked for a refund - http://forum.cloudmining.website/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=42. Surprisingly, it took one minute for me to send the coins to them and even after 24 hour is over, they are asking 24 hours more to take the decission to return my coins !!!

I saw that thread in the n00b section too and it made my spidey-senses tingle as well. It just seemed off. There was a similarly written one about some guy trying to get into a locked blockchain wallet that was asking for his private keys (?)

My guess is, just a wild scenario mind you, this; the hack was orchestrated by a organized crime group. They are thugs, not hackers, but they have maybe one or two hackers under their employ. They get tons of BTC, then distribute them amongst their various (not very tech savvy) minions and tell them to hodl, or maybe open exchange accounts, or maybe get cloud mining contracts (?) in order to insulate themselves (the higher up crooks) from guilt. This minion is either drunk like he says, an idiot, or a typical crook who thinks he can cheat his masters and tries to do some quick turn around deal with the btc so he can skim some off the top. He lost the coins and now his masters are going to kill him, hes desperate, he comes here for help.

I don't know for sure, but there is no honor amongst thieves and they all steal from each other. Other than that I cant figure that thread out either.

cloudmining.website (http://www.cloudmining.website/) is a fairly new entity: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=843417.0

And, who the hell is C. Demiris?

[CounterEntropy]

Unless THIS thread is the hacker trolling and testing! 

LOL I wish, my theory is he had to sell them to some people and this guy was just a screw up who didn't know enough. Theymos needs to get his email and do some digging. It could be a test from the hacker though, I just don't know what to think of it yet.

Your finding is a typical BitMixer transaction. It is now evident that Bitstamp coins were mixed through BitMixer. But, the top and bottom addresses has no link after mixing is done.

Similar example, where BurtW found the same for Klee's stolen coins: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=686275.msg7804434#msg7804434

I had some coins stolen from me being sent to Ross' legal defense fund. true story
