I'm a little skeptical. philipzhai appears to be a newbie, but take a look at the addresses he claims the coins were stolen from:

1CLn42dHFuXAd7o9bgrsCRmfDvLavRoxTq is over a year old and there are 121 transactions for a total of 5,657 BTC. In the first transaction, it received nearly 900 BTC.
1H4esgi6KwhDtVXZXJ12AS7QEwdeQighn4 has been receiving mining income for almost 2 years.

Do you believe that the original post was written by someone that has been mining for nearly 2 years and has more than 100 transactions worth 5657 BTC?

A lot of people use bitcoin but write on bitcointalk only when they need help.

Exactly right
the amount of people using bitcoin compared to bitcointalk is crazy...some do not realise that though

I'd be even more extreme : the people that matters in the bitcoin world rarely post on bitcointalk, there are on irc. I think there is a hierarchy within the bitcoin communty : reddit
The higher you are in the hierarchy the sooner you have access to information.
