Going forward from this moment:
How can we be 100% sure someone coins are actually stolen? the victim could himself open an account and send the funds there....then after a period of time he then transfers the stolen funds to some new account and carries on happily ever after.
MOTIVATION: Those who have there funds stolen may get some sort of funding to compensate for their loss. An greedy individual may take advantage of this.
Because of this reason, I think only PaulyC and newcn are eligible for some type of reimbursement/ bounties for uncovering the bogus client.
You guys need to rethink this. The evidence shows pretty conclusively that Sparta_cuss was actually robbed and reported it before either PaulyC or newcn. Plus Framewood beat them all to it by a couple of days.
So - we gonna create a loss fund to cover 300K NXT and counting?
Paying back stolen Nxt is not realistic. Shit happends.
However PaulyC (and for a smaller extent newcn) should (and did) get bounty for uncovering the method of the theft, saving others.
