I am pretty familiar with Brazil.. I dated a girl that was from there for a couple years and even visited there for a month once. There is a lot of poverty in Brazil, and if he is a custodian at a hostel, I can guarantee he doesn't make more than $80 a month. At current prices that 120 BTC is equal to 71 years of work...

I'm sorry, but you're never going to get this BTC back.  Sad

If he truly wanted to steal those BTC, I dont see why he would be contacting them?

You write him, "by Tristan D'Agosta on Wed, Feb 19 at 11:22 AM ... You asked for an address to send the BTC to before, this is the address: 1My4UPJ1tGDEGxck3W94BSZwTcEAE7Pfj8"


Looks like he sent you 50 back ??
On the 22nd ??  https://blockchain.info/address/1My4UPJ1tGDEGxck3W94BSZwTcEAE7Pfj8

Thanks for posting,

So - Anyone live in Brazil? How hard is it to send this guy some Reais so he can have a day's worth of time on the Internet!

(It's so strange I think I believe him)

As many of you know, about a week ago, a hacker found a major security hole in the Counterparty protocol that enabled him to send XCP from anyone's address. He used this to send 35,000 XCP from the Poloniex wallet to himself, which he then deposited into his own Poloniex account. He then sold the XCP for 150 BTC and withdrew 115 BTC. Following that, he explained the security hole and offered to return the BTC. He has still not returned the BTC, but my correspondence with him is ongoing.

Users have asked to see the correspondence and the Counterparty developers have all given the OK on publishing it, so here it is: https://poloniex.com/correspondence.pdf

There was more to his message from today, which I have not included because it arrived after the developers gave the OK.
