This is pretty sad, what's the best theory so far as to how the coins were unloaded?

Edit: Will not make personal assumptions yet as to who is responsible.

I purchased two Adams and both have been swept as well, on 2/26. I purchased them in early 2015. I live in US. Will be contacting authorities on Monday.

Also, I have two Joanne's and they are both still holding 1 BTC each, will be cracking them and retrieving BTC. Sad, I really like the coins, now the kids have something more to play with.

I guess since BTC is at an ATH, we can expect more and more of this kind of stuff. Anyway, this has turned me off to physical BTC permanently. Wasn't very much for me, they were pretty cheap at the time, but not happy regardless. I have Richard's email if anyone wants it.

2 coins so far swept.... and there is no public address list??

I would assume that all coins are now empty.

Wonder which maker is next???

Wallet explorer indicates more than one on that first address following it forward one hop to -> https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/31fe4d3703621e4f?from_address=1LyYobKJVRbLCizjqpQJxC7CkumHh7fGx2 then again I may be reading that wrong. Sorry people, that sucks.

In Memory of Zepher

I'm very sorry to see this, bitenvy. I just checked my Adam Smith coin and cracked it open because it was still funded. This is very disheartening.

It looks like 18 inputs of approx 2 BTC were sent into this address: https://blockchain.info/address/19A5uTjZzip9gmNUVjSifeAeUwMdyYQ4zQ

If Alitin wants to gain any sort of credibility here, we need them to publish a full list of all addresses to determine how many may have been compromised. We also need to know the full chain of custody from who generated the keys, who did the engraving, and who performed the final slabbing.

It's odd that they may have only redeemed a small number of coins, so maybe only a subset are at risk. If your coin is still funded, I would strongly consider redeeming it now and forget about losing out on whatever premium you may have gotten. At this point, I doubt people would want to buy these funded or pay any premium at all, so just take your coins if you still can. Angry

Lesson to be learned here: Pre-funded coins are counter-intuitive to Bitcoin. They are a bad idea to begin with.

Short pocket excuses.

Sorry for your loss. This is why I have never bought any funded physical bitcoins though I have been tempted.

I'm getting rather tired of Bitcoin physical coin manufacturers scamming the Bitcoin community! Angry

Alitin Mint has become the next on the list of scammers! Please check your coin addresses if you own any coins made by them. My Adam Smith 2BTC coin balance was stolen on February 26th, 2017!

My coin address: https://blockchain.info/address/1FxH5pJcgX6VrJYb7pweXUjEMSX1naero9

My coin is still in the sealed protective case and has been since 2014.

Alitinmint.com is no longer available. Not sure if they were compromised or if they stole the funds. Either way, they are now responsible for the loss of the funds.
