Looks like the unfortunate newbie finally got his 20BTC back:

20 BTC has been sent back to the given address.

it's normal to receive it back. Bitcoin has many, many place who can launder it... and you agreed with them. So, let's not complain about any hack

I don't know if the guy was scammer but certainly it proves all the people wrong who said that site to be scam i think.

Im surprised he actually managed to recover them. Lucky. There should be a tutorial in what to do in cases like this. Most people would panic. Imagine if you lose 20 BTC 5 years from now. We need a to-do tutorial to recover these bitcoins, the options you have.. to avoid people instantly jumping off tall buildings.

Lol why is that? Because they refunded the BTC?

First of all, it could be as well a PR stunt. But even if the guy is real, CMC would simply calculate whether they're better off refunding him (building positive impression) and carry on with their ponzi, or keep the 20 BTC and scare away any potential new customers. Simple math, they chose the option they believe is more profitable.

That proves nothing.

Soemthing is fishy. If you lose your BTC no one is going to give them back out of charity. Like the poster above prolly PR or some shit.

Also Friedcat of Asicminer returned an accidental 200 BTC transaction fee found while mining bitcoin.  Don't have a link but Friedcat rocks!
