So apart from the obvious, you are saying... after a small test trade, you sent $14k to an anonymous person without escrow?

I know sometimes I do stupid things, this time it was throwing 14k to some hacker, and before that it was buying 500 goxcoins at 0.04 each.
but I think WU allows you have you money back if you report to them so it wasn't just throwing away

guys what just happened to me is incredible
on IRC a guy proposed me to sell his bitcoins for $275 each (when market price is over $600), I thought this was a scammer but he told I can buy small sums to start with.

so I him send $27,5 for 0.1 btc and a while after he sent me the 0.1 BTC, I'm a complete risk-taker so I jumped in and bought 50 BTC at once (I know this is extremely stupid and I don't suggest anyone to ever do that) but then after paying the sum, I received just a few minutes ago 50 BTC!!!!
I aksed some stuff to the guy and he told me he can sell anyone any amount of coins they want, I asked him how much does he have and why sell the coins half their price? Huh

he told me he has hundreds of thousands of coins to liquidate but he sells them to make immediate profit and to not be registered on the exchanges. he told me he can only send transactions of 50 BTC at once also.

I bought the coins and I'm happy for such profit but I still feel bad, I find it strange that someone sells bitcoins that low???
I am pretty sure that these coins were stolen and I'm thinking are these mtgox coins? who could have so much coins and sell them to random people at half their price? you wouldn't do that if you acquired your coins legally.

what do you think of that? I hope he doesn't sell much coins because if these coins were stolen from mtgox this is a very serious matter.

Blockchain proof and IRC logs or didn't happen

I will only disclose this information to trustworthy individuals who are going to investigate, I already said I won't leave publicly my address.

The person can point to any blockchain transaction that matches the amounts. IRC logs? What do you want him to do upload it to pastebin? Those would be even easier to fake. The OP is almost for sure in on the scam.

Oh guys I just found a way to buy bitcoins at less than half price. I didn't buy more because I ran out of money. Hello! Sell the cheap coins you just bought and repeat. Oh no, I mean I didn't buy more coins because I realized it was wrong. So I posted this message on [Suspicious link removed]o other people could find out about it... yeah.

yes very smart move and then you will end up in jail for buying stolen coins, if I didn't worry about buying stolen coins I would not have come over this forum, I would have made a hell lot of profit and not tell anyone.

I think this is the reason the hacker cannot sell more than 50 BTC at once : http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/20h0s5/someone_is_stashing_coins_coming_from_the_180k/
the hacker is moving bitcoins in 50 BTC chunks, weird Huh
