so my only question is how can we be sure that this guy really had and lost all of this BTC? I mean really all a person would have to do is see someones posted address in there signature in the forums or in a reported block then post ehre saying please help me get it back! ( which translates to please help me steal this persons money for me!) lol.

But if this is in fact legitimate then i do feel empathy for you... to lose that much is horrible.. But to get that much is questionable...
