An Australia developer who goes by the name of “Trade Fortress” alleges a million dollars worth of Bitcoin has been stolen from his virtual wallet.

Trade Fortress made the allegation to ABC Radio, which reports he's “ over 18 but not much over” and doesn't know where about 4100 bitcoin. With Bitcoin exchanges currently offering $US290 or more per coin, that's $US1,189,000 ($AUD1.25m or £738,000).

Trade Fortress denies any involvement, though many suspect inside job. He has offered to pay for some of the damage with his own bitcoins.
