Re: Now we have 750,000 less bitcoins in circulation ?

Has it been confirmed that they were not all stolen at once recently and thus sitting in on someone with unknown intention's wallet?

I hope it was stolen by many over time, or lost, or anything but above... but was wondering if there is an update I have not heard?

I think this convincingly argues that the biggest part of this theft must have happened long ago.

I wrote up what I thought happened in narrative form here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497289.0 and it shares similarities with the falkvinge article. I think most of the coins were already gone sometime around June 2011.

I liked your write-up Peter, but what happened to the 424242 coins. Are they still largely untouched?
