Topic: Bitstamp hack bitcoins are now moving! - page 3. (Read 5418 times)
I have noticed that it had taken the hacker a long time(about 2 days) to send the bitcoins to his own address, why bitstamp couldn't found it???
would not have a way to track the IPs from which transactions are being made?
Wouldn't help. The hacker could just hide behind TOR or VPNs.
Can a coinmixer confiscate those coins and return to Bitstamp? The only problem is that nobody will use that mixer any more.
If a coinmixer was able to steal your coins, then I would seriously consider not using it... ever! 
The coins can't go into any large exchange because of KYC policies. Perpetrators need to use supply IDs for those exchanges, he could use a fake identity and a throw away bank account. He probably needs a hundred identities to be able to sell 18k btc undetected. He is most likely going to mix 10 to 20 btc every week until he has finished will all of them. Too time consuming to trace 
my first concern was they may try and dump them today. on smaller exchanges or trade into alts, then sell.
or they could just secure in multiple wallets and leave for years. then sell when everyone has 'forgot'
maybe a dump is on way today or they may sell on localbitcoins slowly, who knows

I highly doubt they would dump them on an exchange -- what exchange allows fiat withdrawal without KYC? Are there any exchanges that even allow P2P transfer? Maybe BTC-E codes, haven't been on there in a while.... anyway, if it were me, I'd mix them, then slowly sell them on LBC. And keep a fat stash in cold storage too.....

I posted on here almost a year ago that bitstamp was just a government honeypot and that it was only a matter a time before they ran off with people's coins.
Like 99% of the time - I was right.

How did they ran off? They've reopened and will have to pay that back one way or another. As far as we know there are no limits on withdrawal, so users are not directly affected.
Your right-rate just dropped to 98%
You assumed he makes 100 claims like this. In fact, the fcker only make 1 similar claim in the past. This makes him.... less than 50% correct.
a broken clock would be right atleast twice a day.

This is more true regarding CoinBase...

it doesn't matter if they are moving, someone owns them so he will move/sell/do whatever he want with them
nothing to be excited about
He wouldn't be able to mix them all as no mixer has so big volume. nothing to be excited about

maybe the thief could mix some BTC with Marks BTC 
MK is an intelligent chap Buddy. While everyone is hiding behind curtain, he came out in open, fucked everyone, walked off with the coins. He is now an angel investor. He wont touch stolen coins anymore

Only 5 BTC left out of 18,890. I dont think BitMixer has so much in reserve to mix this huge stash.
Maybe it's a wise investor that's pissed at stamp and they're gonna HODL.
Or he could just live off the Bitcoin? I mean think about it, he can buy gold, silver, lambos, booze, clothes and pretty much whatever he wants. He just needs to not let the tax man see him living too lavishly.
There mightn't even be any potential tax issue in some jurisdictions, such as those without capital gains taxes, but there is certainly the issue of money laundering / use of ill-gotten gains / theft investigation.

They have to sell it slowly. There's no other way. No one will buy such amount with cash and if they start selling large amounts on any fiat/BTC exchange - that would immediately raise suspicion.
Even if they successfully convert to fiat, there's still a risk of a taxman asking where did you get the ~$5m from, or bank freezing your account etc.
I reckon all the process will take months if not years.
Sure, you could live low-key but that's not what you want when you have $5 mils. It's impossible to be unnoticed when you buy expensive car or house paying up-front.
I remember a story about some 18yo UK drug dealer who got busted shortly after buying an expensive Range-Rover.
