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/1GNN1Lboxaak3YLafN6o5rUwByYtBBdWhtThis 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.
It's neither clever nor genius; it's simply criminal. Creativex did this in May of last year with the coins he stole from Basic Mining investors. It's actually the opposite of clever because it was a sure-fire way to lose probably half of the value of the coins if not more. He could have simply given half of the coins back to the shareholders and said the rest were closing costs. I could say a lot of things about Creativex but the word "genius" does not come to mind.
