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?

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

Last time I checked BTC22 was roughly worth about 10K USD, which I personally would consider a lot. Unless your telling me that your somehow some magical rich kid with no monetary concerns.

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

This statement is simply a clear example of your gross misunderstanding of how Bitcoin works. I've already explained 'wallet numbers' and your weird notion that companies hold all of the wallets. Of course I'm for 'real', I'm trying to educate you on how to stop this kind of crap from happening in the future.

you are a troll who imagines yourself knowledgeable about things you only observe but do not participate in. you have zero authority because you are a spectator, not a player.

you are like the fan in the stands who imagines himself an expert about the sport he is watching....

please go away....if 22 coins is your idea of "big money" you truly have no place in any discussion where real people are discussing real issues to do with bitcoins...go back to the porch where the puppies are playing and leave these matters to the big dogs.

Actually, you are the one that is starting to sound like a troll.  The poster is trying to help you. You asked for our help, right?  They are absolutely correct about wallet numbers, etc.  

We're not the ones getting our coins stolen as we have mastered basic security.  Listen to learn, and learn to listen.

Those 22 coins are gone. That ship has sailed. Focus your efforts and energy on preventing further theft.

true even if you tracked them, there's not much you can do about it unless you are some kind of mafia lord and have a lot of influence at the thief's area. As the officials are still not sure how to deal with these sort of thefts yet (the IRS rule as property is not helping either) and those coin is not moving anywhere unless you can get a hold of their private keys where your only method to acquire is to torture them with your mafia.
