This is the thief's address:

16CLrCq8c1M8qsCYNP5r21AejMWUgZS7uk

Let's keep hunting!

Starting from that address, which has now a balance of 0 BTC, if you follow all the transactions involving the money, you will go through numerous addresses which in turn sent the whole amount (thus remaining with a 0 balance) to the next one. Why is that?

@ OP: why did you wait almost 2 days to report the theft?

the money is actually going down bcos they are spending it... spent coins are even harder to trace...

theres only 48 BTC left

looks like a lot of transactions propagating from a 0 location (this shows up as somewhere in the ocean under ghana on the world map because thats where 0 longitude and 0 latitude are.. ie NO location).. this sometimes means the transaction comes from blockchain.info itself (ie a blockchain.info wallet).. if it is indeed a blockchain.info wallet, you could try to contact blockchain.info and ask them to freeze the wallet if you can prove the money was yours in the first place. I have no idea if they will help you or not but its worth a shot.
