Re: Topic about guy drunkenly sending 20btc - Coins came from bitstamp hack

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 don't know exactly how mixers work but the story is sketch as well, the guys says he bought them locally from someone who sells them for lower than market and it the coins were there by the end of the day.

I dont know where did u get the info that the guy bought it locally at lower than market rate, but if he had said so (or if we believe him at all) then it makes sense. First think, why someone will give you coins at lower than the market rate ? There must be something fishy that he wants to offload fast and does not want to keep a trace. So that guy will take his money and send his coins to a mixing service. The output address of the mixing service will be the buyer's address. So, the guy in the middle gets his fund mixed and as well as get money against it. The buyer on the other hand gets new stolen fund, with which the seller has no relation. That is why 1Af9nUCxKYRuXeHRDS6v14eV1JXxvUFUqc has no relation with 1NbBW1XJ81ZtgPp8LL952vVJSf54N5SjK9 apart from they are address of the same mixer.
