If you want IPs, get a legal request for information, such as a court order. It's best to have a "chain of custody" so to speak when it comes to things like this. If we handed out IPs to any random who asked, and violence of some sort ended up happening, then we would be on the hook if we couldn't show a paper trail of who requested the information. If you are on the up and up and don't plan on doing anything illegal, then there shouldn't be any problems with this. Court orders (which, again, are just a legal request for information) are standard when requesting information from third parties.
Thanks for the response BadBear, would you be able to tell us if the accounts in question have overlapping log ins from the same IP? That would answer the question without disclosing any information that could cause you legal or ethical problems. There is a considerable amount of BTC riding on this decision, any help you can render would be greatly appreciated.

Yes they do, though they are shared with many accounts, so it's likely either an unknown proxy/vpn or bought accounts.
Would an email request from @bittrex.com suffice, or do you really want a legal document? Honestly, I don't even want IPs... if you can just confirm or deny that any of the accounts shared non-tor IPs, that would be enough.
Thanks

I can confirm if they did share an IP at some point, or they used a proxy, specific information like IPs used won't be released though.
The 3 users in your topic have shared an IP at some point, it's not a known proxy. Though it could be an unknown proxy, since there are many accounts associated with the IPs, or they have dynamic IPs which is obfuscating the results, or they/he has dozens of accounts, or they were all bought from a third party, which would account for the results I'm seeing. No way of knowing really. That's all I can tell you.
Thank you for the confirmation. Do I have your permission to oost this publicly that you have confirmed this?
Thanks,
Richie
