There's a lot of mixing involved with the fraud address... Here are a couple of the eventual locations: https://blockchain.info/address/1Kf1nT7jQnFC7N3tSdgg5qKGTV4MucfpBg | https://blockchain.info/address/16CvEwBTGfE7zhxKK7dzQEqCG6pSHXfLRe |

The first one has an input from Theymos, so maybe he could shed light. There's not really any way to verify MB actually holds any of that... They could be donations, assuming he's even 1FRAUD - which wouldn't make sense to connect with the donation address. So many mysteries!

1Kf1nT7jQnFC7N3tSdgg5qKGTV4MucfpBg is John's forum treasury address. Which of the inputs is linked to the suspicious address in question? I can tell you the source of most of them.

Ugh. I don't know why I didn't post the chain the first time.

Okay. I'm starting @ https://blockchain.info/tx/7d8bfcb9eb523b7fb7357efce70f18f6ff5e74817f4bebe8a8994568f87d953f

So 1AFaq82AyuDbTTeK9FEn1Tuza863WuD3Ss is probably the most interesting. 1GYfSuX3ZkRYRXcwpeY3ULgsiWheQVH4jw taint is on 1Kf1. It's a long list and many of them look like legitimate spends. A lot of them go to SDice, but maybe that's normal.

1FRAUD controls 1Cxob6LwNk9WAztRidTjNDSuaSzhMEfYj7 -- information is given by https://blockchain.info/tx/7d8bfcb9eb523b7fb7357efce70f18f6ff5e74817f4bebe8a8994568f87d953f , too

<1NoDPxUcXwTzYaxNjPjdRKGDicMAcEMn1T (primary wallet of someone/something -- SD?) -- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=127245.msg1352391#msg1352391

This is a much shorter list, and one ID could get us very close to the controller of 1FRAUD. None of this necessarily means anything, though. Could be a bunch of individuals trading with each other... old addresses need to be connected better to newer ones -- this is a crapshoot. (brb, something paying money needing attention -- I'll look more into whether any of that can be connected in ~30m)
