And I also told him that the accidentally exposed a bank account number. (He claimed that it was a debit card purchased from black market.)
I have his real information only because we were working on a legitimate business. He was introduced to me by a friend who works in a Shenzhen-based information security company (which does penetration tests for large corporations and government agencies). I have never considered Chen Jianhai as a "friend".
Why would Chen Jianhai use
your throw-away stevejobs807 gmail account for miscellaneous credit card fraud, when he could just as easily have used one of his own? I understand why he would use it for laundering the bitcoinica mtgox funds. But there's no sense to him using it months prior for miscellaneous fraudulent freight-forwarding. (on this matter, equally perplexing is why would zhoutong use his own stevejobs807 gmail, connected by prior deposits to his real mtgox account? to his favor, if zhou were the thief that would be really dumb on his part, when he could easily use any new throw-away email...)
The backstory is very cloudy. For what "legitimate business" was Chen Jianhai advising, and what was Chen's webshop?
Also, what was the source of LR funds belonging to Zhou's Singapore friend? If it is legitimate and if it belongs to said friend, how can you offer it to offset the USD payment by having AurumXchange release it to Patrick Murck?
Truth 1: My $40K LR transaction is legitimate at AurumXchange, associated with a friend in Singapore.
It's important to note that the pending $40,000 transaction at AurumXchange is my genuine transaction, so it can be used to offset the USD payment.
It
can be used, or cannot?
It's up to Bitcoinica to appoint a bank account and also a Bitcoin address so that Chen Jianhai (or possibly I) can return the funds. AurumXchange can either return the $40,000 to me, or send the funds to Bitcoinica's nominated account (in which case another $100,000 will be sent to Bitcoinica from Chen Jianhai or me).
