Topic: Moolah Scam on Mintpal - Reporting Missing Coins - page 86. (Read 227124 times)

Bitstamp removed their tweet. Luckily, I managed to browse to it just before they did.

Here's an archival in image form (I also have PDF and also have the tab still open).

Excuse my ignorance, but how is it possible to check if an address belongs to bitstamp or not?
How can this guy tell the recipient's address belongs to bitstamp and not to another service?

Bitstamp's response: https://twitter.com/Bitstamp/status/524150213045678080

Sorry I had to. Also, I will miss my 15 million karma dearly. I will pour one out for the .25btc I lost as well.

Thank you all for your diligence.

My updated and final total outstanding:

150 XMR
30,000 SUPER
25,000 CINNI

They will not get away with this!

thanks, let's see what Bitstamp come back with, I think if some of the law firms involved can pursue this they may be able to get a court order to get Bitstamp to release the user's details.  If the user's name is one of Ryan's known aliases and the funds are confirmed as the stolen bitcoins (as I believe they are) then might be onto something...

If I was the scammer I would dump on btc-e instead of bitstamp. He must be retarded if he is selling on stamp lol

Anyone? I have quite a lot stuck in there

Is there really such a need to be so harsh? Adjed's probably lost 4 BTC. By all means point out the need for diligence on all these issues around exchanges this latest disaster has highlighted, but have some compassion in the manner with which you do it.

126 btc???

an absolute disgrace luckily i didnt have any coins here but so awful for all people that did! these people need bringin to justice somehow !

don't think so, just got this from yesterday:

thank you for your effort to notify us. We will look into the matter as soon as possible and act accordingly.

Best regards,
Bitstamp Support

Where do you see the status of the withdrawal? I don't see any balances, any requests, nothing. Just a text box

For me, I heard Moolah had acquired Mintpal but obviously didn't do enough due diligence apart from reading through their jazzy website to find Green's real scammer background that's come out now.

But the main thing was they pulled the Mintpal site down without out any notice apart from 1 tweet on Moolah's twitter (we know now why).  If I had seen that, I would have pulled my coins off at least in case there were technical problems with the upgrade.  

As to how he bought it, guess he just showed up and talked the talked, agreed a good price and they sold to him...

My question is:

How come all this information about this cunt comes out after he fucked everyone up @Mintpal and not before.

How come such a low life gets to be in charge of one of the biggest exchanges in the world?

I was able to get out 11,541.25054019 GRS from Mintpal by requesting a withdraw through the MintPal Standalone Withdrawal Tool; however, my request to withdraw 0.02062944 BTC has the status of requested, and my BTC has not been returned yet. I know it's not a lot, but regardless, it's important to return all funds to their customers.

Actually I just got a reply from yesterday's email I sent to Bitstamp, maybe not retweet as I think they are on the case and if so not fair to pester them.  If they don't take action it's on their backs later anyway if in fact it's found that these are stolen funds from Mintpal and they've been notified.

Notice of suspicion of handling of stolen funds defrauded from Mintpal Ltd customers by Bitstamp Ltd, Company No. 08157033, 5 New Street Square, London, EC4A 3TW, United Kingdom

To the Bitstamp Ltd Directors:

On Oct. 29th, former MooPay Ltd employee Eoghan Hayes came forward and reported that they are 'attempting to follow the trail of a 3700BTC transaction from MintPal, which is now accused of being lodged into a personal account of Ryan Kennedy', Mintpal Ltd (09009856) being the crypto-exchange that recently had operations taken over by MooPay Ltd (08920347) and with ownership of both companies by Torihiki Ltd (09143500), all 3 companies being registered in the UK.

More background on the incident can be found here: https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/mintpals-3700-stolen-bitcoin-likely-in-hands-of-alleged-scammer-alex-green/ and in the first post of this thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/moolah-scam-on-mintpal-reporting-missing-coins-824211 and Eoghan Hayes's full account of the incident here: http://pastebin.com/VYpQ5CWA

The funds in question were lodged to the Bitcoin wallet: 17ztgkcaZbs4VFrAswMQGvnNDEtn47rsmu which according to the MooPay Ltd employees is under the complete control of the CEO, one Alex Green aka Ryan Kennedy, and some of which have been tracked as entering your exchange through the Bitcoin transaction: 9c0824176a642f4e4542cd6438ae689f6d9d843532ee8c3aba3f4d105bcf3b86

Consequently I believe that it is likely that you may be dealing in funds stolen from Mintpal customers and you are advised to:

1) Freeze said funds and take account of all activity and transactions occurring with these funds pending potential future investigation by the UK financial authorities and legal action by Mintpal Ltd's customers

2) Identify and record safely any information you have that can be used to identify the Bitstamp user who is depositing the funds in question to your system including and not limited to their email address, login history, client IP addresses, full name, address and bank account details also pending an inquiry by the relevant authorities.

3) Any other actions that are required under English law to help identify and prevent potential financial crimes that may be happening in this case when notified of the potential of such

Please find this as notice of the evidence from people within the company (MooPay Ltd) themselves that these funds may have been stolen and be the property of the company's customers and it is your responsibility to act on this information accordingly to prevent further fraud from occurring (if it is found later that this is the case) and to safeguard the information as to the identity of the user in question and the accounting information as to what happened to these funds pending legal action to reclaim them.

I have also emailed the above for your convenience and provided you with my contact details in addition if you require further information.

Kind Regards

And he's on probation too, apparently!! got a slap on the wrist for harassment a year ago.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuckety fuck.

New twist to this for me personally.  I put in a mintpal withdrawal request for my BTC balance on Friday.  The address that I requested the withdrawal to was my blockchain.info wallet.  Yesterday, someone kindly emptied my blockchain wallet for me.  Looks like they sent the funds to 13jxBSEBCTNq45ATDxHdTMNdM2dVNH9bmq.

So now instead of being down by the 0.15 btc that I had on Mintpal, I'm also down an extra 0.13 btc by way of theft from my supposedly encrypted blockchain.info wallet.
