i read it but theres not much info
whats a bounty hunter going to do that the police or courts cannot ?

unless theyre going to break legs or something and upload to youtube lol
that would make things a bit interesting

If you're relying on the police and courts in cases like these, or overall, you're going to have a bad time.
Actually the concept of a bounty hunter was definitely used much much more often in the past. If the guy is very skilled at hacking, he can do a lot of things. The same things that the hacker did. He can hack the funds back, or identify him.

Why would someone skilled enough at hacking to steal the coins from another skilled hacker be then willing to return them to the rightful owners ?why would he not just keep the coins and be rich instead of a small bounty ?

The major btc thefts are almost all well known exchange owners ,ponzi operators, karpeles ,zhou tong ,trendon shavers ,the mintpal and BFL guys etc ...

identifying them and their families is not the problem ,its what the fuck to do with them if they have been too slippery for the police to do anything........theres probably nothing legal you could do to them which makes the only option ...........something else Cheesy

yes, the ppl who have the skill of hacking others' wallet and stealing the coins from another skilled hacker or bitcoin holders, why would they return the money to the original owners? They just keep them and be rich! Because nearly no ppl will track down them or they know they haven't violated any law yet. We all know that bitcoin is not recognized as currency or asset by most of the govs.
