That hacker is probably Big Vern himself, thinking he can fool us like an idiot Tongue

If i were the "real hacker" I will probably hide that bitcoin to myself, why would I give it back to the original owner
That's like you robbed a house last night and then come back again tomorrow saying "hey, I robbed your house yesterday, i can give your TV back if i can have the PS4 instead"
Bullshit Grin

BigVern is attempting a desperate escape with his last weapon apparently

who cares? BTC is mainly used for illegal things so why do you complain about a "nice" exit? Grin

you are keep using shit exchangers like BTC-e, Bitfinex, BTC China and so on...why do cry for losing your funds when you know what BTC involves, RISK

stop fudding, there are plenty fo merchants that accept bitcoin and now even steam is on track, do you think those are selling illegal stuff?

it's the criminal that choose the currency not the opposite, bitcoin has nothing to do with criminal activity

ROFL, it's like criminals never used USD

this can not be believable, How come the hackers would return 13000 btc for taking 1750 btc only while they can keep the whole amount without returning !! And this proofs that there is no actual hacking that happen and it was a scam exit that was faked by cryptsy

It is unbelievable that Big Vern thinks this "contract" will help him avoid serious legal trouble. I wish there was a way to have him arrested and locked up in jail tonight.

The anonymous hacker is called "Cryptcracker" (probably a group) and the individual who signed the contract appears to have written "Wrecker" or "Wrecked".

Very interested to see how this plays out.. Ofcourse I would never ever use cryptsy again if they manage to get back up on their feet, but if they get back most of the coins, it is very good news for it's users that got burned and have not been able to withdraw.

I don't think Vern is up to this plan and some sort of "long con" by setting this up himself. It still brings way too much heat to him and he will still never recover fully from the blow. The only thing that he gains are potentially lesser charges or less people the class action suit.

Regarding the 10% bounty they offered, the fact that it is now higher can be the result of a negotiation from the person offering their services. It does not have to be something fishy directly.

Let's hope for everybody with locked funds in there that this gets resolved sooner rather than later.

after i read the contract, so at this moment hacker can stole private key from bitcoin address..?
bitcoin not safe again?

lol. That's what hackers do.

Except in this case, Big Vern tried to exit scam from his exchange and bounce to China, never to be heard from again..... but he got cold feet.

This is pathetic....looks like Vern is now 1750BTC richer, and no one will bat an eyelid.

When the piss-poor excuse of 'hackers stole our BTC' was followed by 'we'll give a 1.5k+ BTC reward to whomever returns it', I knew this was all an inside job by the pathological liar BigFern. He (or someone he's working with) will simply return all the funds in question, and make off with the rest (aka 'bounty').

"Yeahhhhhhhh! Offer a 1K BTC bounty to the crypto community for information leading to recovery of ~13K BTC, ignore all viable offers by going dark, but come months later to accept a 1,750 BTC bounty by a complete unknown."

Crypto Swap Exchange

Honestly On the agreement part, it doesn't look legit to me. Lacks professionalism. If Paul for one seconds, is thinking of by giving back what he owed after all this time, he could open up the exchange once again, then it's not going to work and certainly it looks like a made up story. The best thing for him, is to return everything and then quit the scene (for good).

On a side note:
You have a small typo error on your site, wherein says: be back in Cryptosy's posession (an excess o)

Someone cooked the books here. Giving back those Bitcoins is giving away free money. Perhaps the hackers thought they couldn't keep the Bitcoins for a large amount of time (about to get caught) and wanted to dump them while they could.

So that hackers (or Cryptsy) made 1750BTC for just (STEP1) announcing the news on being hacked and been able to (STEP2) pursue hacker to returned the stolen coins.

I guess the hackers should also let everyone know how they hack the site so that other exchanges can learn from this?

Exactly so that other exchanges can learn from this!

Steal and then return. How noble! How about those who robbed Mt Gox?

Yeah, like that hasn't been done before. Remember Bitcoinica? Here's the thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/statement-about-the-suspect-of-recent-bitcoinica-hack-95795

That's lovely. I do enjoy a happy ending to a sad story. Congratulations to the operators for getting the coins. Congratulations to the hacker for making a profit while doing the 'right' thing. Jolly good.

Your optimism is charming like a Hugh Grant romanitc comedy. Remember those?
