ok, heres some food for thought:
Who owns the wallets that coins were withdrawn to and how do they know they are controlled by paul vernon? It all assumes that every large withdrawal in Cryptsy's history was stolen, while ignoring the fact that users were withdrawing from wallets tagged "Cryptsy".
And, the real question is, how many customer funds are missing? If the total is 10,000 BTC, then it really doesn't matter how much Cryptsy spent over that. The only thing that matters is what happened to customer funds.
For example, the person that said they were missing .5 million ETH. The assumption made in the thread is that they were stolen. Has anyone analyzed the ETH wallet? Is it on the server that was given to the receiver? Have those funds moved? That's the sort of analysis that would be meaningful.
I have never said that all big withdrawals from Cryptsy are made by Vernon.Mainly yes,but not all.
- There are at least 4 BTC wallets which are under Vernon control
- Withdrawals from old hot wallet were reserved only for Cryptsy-Vernon purposes - users could not get BTCs directly from this wallet after hack - only from new wallet which is from time to time funded from old hot wallet BTCs transferred to it
- no at one user could withdraw more than 100 BTC per transactions,except Vernon - all these wallets got numerous over 100 BTC transactions
- Wallets are his -Vernon itself put some of these addresses publicly as his own,later he just created more addresses inside them and transfered BTCs between these wallets.If you read mine previous posts you can find it easily
- how much funds exactly missing is unknown,because he sold many different coins and after hack we did not get balance sheet for wallets on Cryptsy - I founded it for DASH,others stopped him when he tried to sell UNOs at Bittrex just 2 days before receivership got control over Cryptsy.We just know how much BTCs he obtained from selling altcoins.
- he admitted only BTCs taken by "hacker",but never gave any explanation how and how much non-affected altcoins and cash vanished from users accounts.
- he started Cryptsy with 0 financing - his BTC wallet were funded solely from users deposits and have no reserve at all so he took users BTCs for Cryptsy expenses in first 4 months too- you can see it for yourself:
