if this is true that he opened an account and was credited 10btc. if he did nothing to hack or manipulate the system to receive the btc once he withdrew them they were rightfully his.

Exactly.

Anyone of us would have kept the btc and don't tell me you would not have. Opening 10 accounts may have been a little excessive. Wink

I agree the coins are his if he got them fair and square (which includes due to a bug)
And 10 is not excessive! But I'm impressed.

So, the coins are returned back to BitDice, the OP has stolen the coins and btc-e is not scam (but they freeze the money without law enforcement), nice to read

This is the wild west.

Talk about temptation. I think the first thing to do would be to bet with it, not just straight up withdraw it.

Its a very school boy error to have left this code giving away 10btc. OP is extremely lucky.

All in all, it makes for a nice story though.

After release of Blackjack, there was left some test code which adds 10BTC for new accounts. That's was very stupid and I fully accept that.

There were no dice playing by that user, he didn't win anything - he just stole the funds from the account.

Interesting read.

I don't know who to stick up for:

1. Dumb guy who got lucky winning 100 btc because of a bug. Really dumb sending it to btc-e for quick cashout.
2. Hacker who took a gambling site for 100 btc. If you're gonna hack someone it was a good choice. Like gambling sites don't "steal" on a regular basis. Then again, really dumb sending it to btc-e for quick cashout.

Option 1 would fit the situation more. Bitdice has stated that the account that drained their bankroll has no records on playing dice before. It seems that this guy isnt really a "hacker" but more likely got lucky that he created a new account and found out that his account got 10 BTC. Therefore he keep on making new account and keep on withdrawing

A Great Time to Start Something!

Time out please:
Fraud/stealing is wrong and needs to be punished, but does btc-e.com have the right to "confiscate" customer funds due to 'possible' crimes?

Ok, now we found the hacker. Lets change the direction of our pitchforks. What the hell was he thinking? Guess he would have covered his tracks when posting as well.. Or is there a way to trace him? (I'm assuming its a "he")

So the member that posted this thread the hacker in question? I am not on the same page here. Undecided

The question is if the story is true, what is BTC-E going to do with the 100BTC. Is there any word from them that they're going to keep it or return it to bitdice?

They should buy a boat from that money Roll Eyes

The owner of bitdice.me was in very good spirits today and so I think they returned the money to him. That seems the most honest course, but I guess they don't have to return it.

Edit: Actually they just posted about it HERE.

I'm reading the reddit thread and it seems like OP is a thief and won those Bitcoins from Bitdice due to a bug.

^^Pretty much this.Otherwise he would have provided a log of his winning bets on that gambling site, witch he didn't.

Yes, it appears BTC-e stole back the coins the OP "stole". I can see why people would not like btc-e acting like the bitcoin police. I guess you can also debate if exploiting a gambling site is the same as stealing. But on balance I think this is a good outcome.

I do think they should have been more candid with OP about what was going on.

From what i heard, their english comunication skills are pretty limited.Or at least that's what they want us to belive.Anyway, OP's mistake was trying to unload his entire stash on one single exchange witch must have raised some serious red flags at BTC-e, who might have been warned by the people at the gambling site, as was probably every other major exchange.

haha this is quite funny actually. OP exploits a bug and gets a windfall but then doesn't move the coins to his own wallet.

Close but no cigar.

ahhh, now everything is clear, this is why he isn't responding anymore, usually when they throw the stone and run away, without continuing the conversation, you know there is something fishy

i didn't trust what the OP say since the beginning of this thread, then add to this that he used a newbie account...

i guess if you really lost 100bitcoins then you have enough money to buy another 100bitcoins.
because nobody with a average income would play with 100bitcoins^^

You may be guessing wrong, if I start gambling with 0.2btc and win 100btc and I am a gambler then it doesn't matter my income because I am a gambling addict and don't think about much else except "more" which is a shame because 100btc is "more" than enough and should have been saved/spent.

It also doesn't matter if he has enough to buy another 100btc that does not make it ok does it? Not sure what the price was but guessing around 28k was lost and that sucks, but.. Sounds like this story is fishy to say the least and would not be surprised if it never happened.
