Holy crap!
All the best bagging the mofo who robbed you though I guess the odds are low

Wow, it hurt me just looking at this. The tricky part is going to be tracking it beyond a mixer.
Heyyyyyyy ...DONT format. Keep the evidence !!!
Why ? ... police can help ?
No ... because is not money ...
So who performed this transaction?

Really? And how would that work in practice? Should we have a world Bitcoin court that decides which ID's were blacklisted and which transactions should be rejected?
Surely, someone posting that they were hacked on a Bitcoin message board would not be enough to blacklist coins, would it?
I don't think people think through the details when they propose such silly ideas.
I'm sorry for your loss, OP.
Spot on.
You will also note that Klee himself never asked for such a short sighted thing. It does however help that he's a well respected member of the community (BTC and NXT), donated some of his holdings, etc. It looks like the community has his back. Whether that's enough to recover the coins is another matter of course.
I hope he gets it back… but the problem is this…. should only the people with the most bitcoin be the only ones who get their bitcoin back from criminals ? does the little guy get equal support when he don't have the resources to offer the same type of bounty ? who is it that is , "short sighted" ?
Electrum password alone isn't sufficient (assuming the attacker got it through your dropbox plain text file), he'd also need a copy of the electrum wallet file. Any idea how that was accessed?
If I understand the OP correctly, both the wallet file and a plaintext txt with the password were on a dropbox volume.I don't use electrum but the way I understand it is the wallet is constructed from the 12 word seed.
That's why I asked Klee for kleerification... (*snort* sorry)
There's a password that secures your wallet file, and there's the master seed. With the seed, you're able to access the funds all by itself, but with the electrum password alone, you still need the wallet.
EDIT: Apologies for not replying but I am trying to manage a mess here (format the computers, contacts with authorities, phone/skype calls etc)..

I have no idea how to help you but I'm sorry it happened and I hope the thief is caught and prosecuted with you getting as much of it back as possible.

Doesn't dropbox use 2-factor?
Yes but you need to turn this on, and its not on by default so the likelyhood that it was on is slim. Additionally if anyone is reading this on top of the 2 factor, you can manage which machines/devices have access to your files so you can see what machines are actively syncing.
My sincerest condolences to the OP, Storing the seed needed to take the wallet on dropbox seems unsafe but probably worked well enough for him for quite sometime. I am sure many people have already suggested it but you should build a machine that does not have a network card or network drivers then generate an Offline Wallet. This is really only a good solution if you intend to rarely ever use the coins because preforming the offline transactions takes a tiny bit of extra time and requires two computers and a fully updated blockchain.

ya thats a terrible idea. Thats adding in freezing accounts.
ya sorry OP, that sucks so much.
"format the computers"
please create a P to V before you scrub the computers… to just format them is a huge mistake … you are literally destroying evidence .

This!! +1
Go get a brand new computer to follow through with all your tracking efforts. Pull your old stuff offline, unplug and access needed info later. Based on your actions thus far, I would hire someone to help you out.
Truly sux man, but you need help to understand better how to catch this thief and prevent it from happening in the future.

When that guy was trying to track the sheepmarketplace loot, he added fractions of BTC (0.00666BTC) to the hot addresses http://www.reddit.com/r/SheepMarketplace/comments/1rvlft/i_just_chased_him_through_a_bitcoin_tumbler_and
Was that useful? Is it worth sending a small amount of BTC to these two addesses that are holding the stolen coins to keep track of them? If the thief tries to sell, it will be trackable back to these amounts? Maybe add a message the coins are stolen, to put off potential buyers?

There's a password that secures your wallet file, and there's the master seed. With the seed, you're able to access the funds all by itself, but with the electrum password alone, you still need the wallet.
But just so everyone here understands, all you need to reconstruct the entire electrum wallet is to memorize the 12 word seed. That's why its called a brain wallet.
