Topic: 5 BTC Bounty to Track Stolen Coins - page 2. (Read 1002 times)
An attacker could simply drive your bitcoins out through several exchanges. And everything, you will never see your hard earned money.
Hi all,
So I know it's a LONG shot, but back in August of 2013, I had 40 BTC stolen. Basically somebody hacked into my Gmail, found my wallet.dat file, and then moved my coins from my blockchain wallet (https://blockchain.info/tx/3ea2a7343d5623058ac7cc403d82e4fc9a351ef0e8818f1fe0d1b3351e6ad434). I was quite dumb back then, and didn't have 2FA enabled on my Gmail.
I am not tech savvy enough to try to identify the perpetrator (though I know even if I was it's very difficult due to possible IP masking and use of a mixer), but is there any way I can post a bounty here for 5 BTC if somebody is able to track down my coins so I can retrieve them? Or is there somewhere else I can post a similar bounty?
I know it's a very long-shot, but I feel like $25K USD may make it worthwhile to try for somebody. I can obviously provide more detail (and some of that can be found here - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2882400)
Thanks!

Hi,
Maybe we can trace the transaction that has made but there is a small chance to get it back.
40BTC now is a big amount of money. This will be a lesson for all. we should secure our wallet because you may not know when will the hackers will attack you.
Hey man just saw your post on 4chan. I've a couple of bad news.
If you found this guy, the bitcoins are gone, you can click on the blockchain and keep looking where those coins went, he did not keep them in the same place and it would be safe to assume that he spent them somewhere, therefor it would not even be possible to retrieve them.

I likely agree. However, I could get the authorities involved and maybe something could be done then assuming he has the means to purchase the equivalent (or some amount) of BTC to make me whole.
btc I've been stolen, too, and there's no way to get back, so just stick it out because it's hard to get back, even if you want to protest to the blockchain wallet it will not help, because it's pure mistake because email does not have 2fa security, , the spirit, hopefully can be gained.

I wish I had a way to help you. Best of luck though, I hope you can recover them somehow.

Edit / note: The bounty would be contingent on me retrieving some or all of the funds since I know it is a long shot and I'd need to get law enforcement involved. Apologizes if that was not clear in my original post.
