There is no guarantee that the guy actually stole his BTC. Many wallet stealers won't take the funds right away but will wait until a sizeable amount is transferred into the wallet before it cleans it out.

This is what I am talking about. There is 90% chance that he did stole btc from OP, but still 10% chance that he did not. There is no strong evidence.


I would say even less than 90%.

Evidence supporting this person was the thief:

  • He had unrestricted access to the computer.
  • The funds were transferred almost immediately after he left.

Evidence against:

  • As Blazr mentioned, wallet stealers often wait until a significant amount triggers them into action and this address hardly had more than half a bitcoin in it before the day in question.
  • This person should have known that he would be the first suspected and that his victim could easily track him down.
