I might be the only one semi bothered by this and I dont follow NXT at all, but kinda gay to freeze anyone's funds. Robbing the robber is still robbing! It adds a little flavor to the community!

Intertubez logic or failed humor? Grin If you believe that the guy who got his funds frozen did indeed steal it from the victim, then returning the coins to the rightful owner is stealing how? Can you steal something that isnt the person' property?

Dont know why I even replied to this Tongue

no, the news is not so detailed - 1) hacked 1170  btc from electrum, left at the new addres for a day 2) hacked 6m Nxt coins from his nxt accounts - and sent to bter, dumped there half
Ok, so the 6M NXT have been frozen on BTER and the 1170 BTC are still missing?

This is a most interesting story.  Have the details of how this hack was carried out been posted somewhere?  It is always useful to review incidents like this to help make sure they don't happen again.

Ok, so let me get this straight.  There were initially 1170 btc stolen from one of Klee's wallets, sent to the bter exchanged and swapped for NXT?  Bter saw this large transaction and had the insight to freeze the account of the hacker?
Is this correct?

BTER - class act

Much Respect for BTER.

Why? Wouldn't be better to freeze account and cooperate with police.
Funds - coins have been deposited to BTER trading account and this person seems he would like to sell this coins. You are not police, judge or jury. Just cheap Bter advertising.

I respect klee, but people are acting very hypocritical. If newbie would lost his funds in a similar way, you would all just say it's his fault and that he is stupid. He would never get his funds back.

Please don't get me wrong.

Yes, that's what some other people's opinions at the discussion at

http ://weibo.com/btercom

You need to translate the Chinese language to what you can read


Some people claim that Bter doesn't have any right to move the frozen funds. There must be a legal arbitration.

Please help us to advice a proper institution to make the legal arbitration.

Could you tell us exactly what you need?

Will a police report from klee suffice?

If we define 'legal ownership' of crypto's as - someone/s ability to spend/have full control, of the coins according to blockchain rules/protocol, then YOU own those crypto's while you control the address they are in. In your case, the people who have sent crypto's to the addresses you issue, and control, have a 'claim' on those crypto's.
If for whatever reason you chose to freeze an account/address, or indeed run with peoples crypto's, those people will need to 'claim' ownership.......So let the account holder 'claim' those coins.

Maybe going forward, there should be a reasonable time for this to happen, before re-uniting the crypto's to the rightful owner.
 
It looked like there was a consensus that was easily reached today, in establishing the validity of the theft, AND who should rightfully own those crypto's. Shall we call this consensus-claimed?

Law enforcement should be involved, but I don't see a need to freeze the account. This isn't like some crime scene where you have to lock down the physical environment while evidence is collected. Bter has a complete record of any transactions and any other details related to the account, so they can return the NXT to the rightful owner without losing any evidence at all. No need to tie it down in judicial bureaucracy for God knows how long.

Yes, time can be a problem. Maybe they should release funds.

But I have a feeling, they are doing it because they are not comfortable with police investigating bter; and free advertising too.

Anyway, I will shut up now. I wish klee gets his funds back and it's actually not my business how he or bter will do this.

Yea Klee doesn't deserve to get robbed guys Sad

I mean nobody does but, Klee was really generous with his funds

I totally agree.


You have right to say so, I can't make any counterargument.

Just that in some early stolen funds cases I helped with donations the victims..

As I said, I respect you. I'm talking about hypocrisy, double standards and ''do it my way''-bter style. This is serious case, police should be involved. I really wish you all the best!
