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...

I don't think many are posting addresses that they use to move their savings around with. Besides OP can prove ownership of the original address easily if there was suspicion.

I highly highly doubt this is fake and feel very bad for OP.

Check out this thread. http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=15984.0 according to this post puts the addresses in the blocks for the public to see. So all this guy would have to do is watch that site, find a large amount being transfered, then either troll the site for fun or actually look for a hacker to help him in his time in need.... If this post i am refering to is another troll post then forgive me i have never checked out blockexplorer.com before but everyone talks about it and says you can see the addresses..
