Has anyone ever recovered funds sent to the wrong address by going to this forum and asking whose address it was? It seems like a long shot, hope you manage to recover thought.
Yes, with a fair amount of blockchain sleuthing, 400 BTC sent to the wrong address was recovered (ended up at GLBSE).
400 BTC sent to an unknow address. (COINS RETURNED) 40 BTC reward.
