No

And when I asked the blockchain support person to escalate this to security, he stopped communicating with me.

I was not a victim of phishing, I did not click on a fake blockchain link and there is/was no keylogger on my machine.

I believe a brute force attack occurred and blockchain is refusing to acknowledge it.

Can anybody help me track the movement of my stolen coins?

I know the wallet where they were sent to, and the other transactions that went to there too.

With a wallet number, can I learn which company holds that wallet? Bitstamp - Blockchain - etc?

I will give 25% of the 22 coins to whomever can help me track them down.

Thank you

A brute-force attack is rather unlikely if you had a password of reasonable entropy, length and complexity. It's far more likely you were using either a compromised system or you had your details phished. Tracking the coins is pointless, it won't be able to help you get them back. On a side note, your coins were probably sent to an address not a whole wallet and it's probable that no 'company' owns it, much rather someone running the standard client/Electrum/Multibit. Finally, even if it was a Blockchain wallet they would be unable to recover your coins because they do not have the private key. All in all, while I'm sorry for your loss, IMO you need to do some more reading about wallets and Bitcoin in general (especially if you're storing large amount of coins - look into a cold storage system) as you don't seem to understand how the system works and the best methods to protect your coins.

you clearly are speaking without reading the entire thread. large amount of coins??? where did you get that idea? and further still, based on your false assumptions, what substantial thoughts do you have to offer? do some more reading about wallets and Bitcoin...? are you for real?
