So, in regards to the Bitcoinica ordeal....

The Facts:

Today, we have discovered a suspicious Bitcoin transaction that doesn't seem to be initiated by any one of the company owners. Some of them are not online at the moment so

this is not conclusive.

Suspicious transaction:

  {
        "account" : "",
        "address" : "182tGyiczhXSSCTciVujNRkkMw1zQxUVhp",
        "category" : "send",
        "amount" : -18547.66867623,
        "fee" : 0.00000000,
        "blockhash" : "00000000000003f6bfd3e2fcbf76091853b28be234b5473a67f89b9d5bee019c",
        "blockindex" : 1,
        "txid" : "7a22917744aa9ed740faf3068a2f895424ed816ed1a04012b47df7a493f056e8",
        "time" : 1336738723
    },

The IP address associated with the above address is 91.121.174.223 (according to blockchain.info)

So, just surfing around, I came across a few things that puzzle me:




So...The 'Receiver' of the 'SENT' bitcoins from Bitcoinica runs a pool on port80 ?

....and is generating blocks ? (as recently as June 1, 2012)






As I said, please forgive my ignorance, as I really do have no idea if any of this is even relevant, but I had to ask....

More links for your browsing pleasure maybe ?....

I have no idea, as I said, if this is relevant, makes any sense....or is old news already.
I just figured a post couldn't hurt.
