i cant imagine the cryptsy bitcoins/litecoins can be "recovered".

if i had to guess, paul is having a conversation with himself about it in public, so that if he returns them, he can keep the reward (which i think is like 20%?!)

its not possible to "recover" coins sent to an address you don't control. you need a private key for that. or a quantum computer far superior to those in existence to obtain the privkey.

those are the only two ways to "recover" them.

so yeah, i think hes just going to give them back to himself, and keep the reward, and play it off like someone else did it.

paul, if you're reading this, we are many things, but stupid is not one of them.
