It looks like they are in a mixer.
All he is doing is breaking them down into multiple multiple smaller amounts with a script (which seems to break every so often, as we are up to 10 confirmations on the 400BTC and 210BTC). The origins of the coins are still clear, so no mixing is happening.

He may not be confident to use a mixer, as he may not sure if the mixing service will freeze his funds (obviously stolen funds).

Have BITMIXER.IO made any comment on whether they are happy to mix obviously stolen coins?

Trust no one Mr Hacker! They will all screw you and are out to steal your coins! Joe Six Pack is actually this guy!



What was that noise behind you!  Tongue

Its impossible to get back your BTC, maybe you can only find out who did it. Get back few steps and find out how hacker broke into dropbox?

I enjoyed reading this above, so:

"the hacker may also want to think about how the advance of technology is going to make locating assholes like him easier over the next few years.  He may be able to hide today, but in a year or 2, will he still be able to?  He can't cash out to a bank account and he cant buy anything useful with the BTC without leaving clues to his irl identity,  so all he has is a pile of semi-useless BTC and a  massive manhunt on his ass. The current 500 BTC bounty is very motivating and provides more than enough cash to finance some very effective action, no matter where in the world the thief might be.  Klee just has to keep up the pressure and wait for the mistake.  Hope the thieving dipshit is having fun right now.......because it isn't going to last."

Hey dude who stole these coins...you will never wash them all out and be able to use them as every confirmation takes around 10 minutes and 100+ people are following every your step so just pay 770 coins to the victim and keep the rest and you will probably get out with it with no harm to your person.
BTW the coins are currently sitting here: https://blockchain.info/address/1DdTEQhaTRoQ8cs1hcSwdYLbDs9jgEvPcZ

Couldn't the thief just launder the coins bit by bit and get away with it scot-free?

For example: You could just trade some of them for another virtual currency on some random exchange, and then convert what you bought back into BTC, and voila, clean bitcoins. Or use a laundering service. It seems really easy to get around if you're smart?

Actually, the best way to clean the coins is to send them to an exchange, then cash it out to your bank account. Then use all that fiat to buy back the coins on the same exchange. Untraceable  Grin
This would actually be very traceable as once it is discovered which exchange the coins were sent to then you could subpoena the exchange to provide the identity of the user who deposited the coins.

An exchange would provide only temporary cover to your identity.  

Faceplam!

It looks like they are in a mixer.

They clearly are, as that tree does show the origin county of these adresses and every one of them is different.

Perhaps another approach:

Consider offering amnesty and a promise to call off the search in exchange for the safe return of your funds while at the same time increasing the bounty to the full 1100 and something bitcoins that were stolen should he fail to comply with the aforementioned.

That really will bring the bad guys out of the woodwork.....the hacker may also want to think about how the advance of technology is going to make locating assholes like him easier over the next few years.

What do you think? Just one knee cap or both?

But the biggest mistake op made was storing his password in plain text doesn't matter where its stored on an offline computer or on a cloud you should never have your wallet passwords stored in plain text.

I think you'll find it does. If the private key had been stored offline this thread wouldn't exist.

Tips for other users:

use password safe http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/ or

keepassx http://www.keepassx.org/  -where passwords are stored in an encrypted database.

Dear HEADHUNTERS,

43% of any btc I will be able to get back IF you find the identity of the thief!

If the whole amount will be returned to me (1170BTC) that would be 500BTC.

FIND HIM!!!

wow I was surprised how come? -_-

if I lose that much weight may have been crazy-_-

I pray for you may get back Smiley

Edit:
No, you are right. All his transactions have occured at 02 or 03 seconds. Must be a script.
But this way without mixer it's easy to track anyway so i don't see the point of doing that.
It completely pointless isn't it? He seems to have stopped doing it on two of the large amounts now.

What do you think? Is he/she trying to show off his scripting skills? Cheesy

Or is the hacker in such a panic he thought this was doing something, but later realised it was pointless?

That $300,000 bounty on his head has got to be eating him up. That helicopter over his house. Those sharp-shooters hiding in the trees outside  Grin

Wow... that's a freaking theft...  The wallet was online I assume?
Electrum - dropbox was compromised (with plain txt for the pwd, I know I know..)

Sorry for your loss. Next time use offline armory.
