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.
