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

Actually, they would be easier to trace.  If, for instance, they spent the coins at Overstock.com, you could subpoena them to find the shipping address.  The police could track the thief pretty quickly at that rate.

You could also subpoena KRUNIAC on the forums here to get IP addresses that he posts from.
