My last post on Moolah's twitter page was deleted. Let's set a goal to absolutely hold those responsible for this and get our money back!

So imagine you are CEO and your company is launching a major exchange...and you decide to go on vacation at the same time..and at least 3,700 BTC goes missing.

'Premeditated'...either Freudian slip or he's basically telling us the truth for once.




Wow..Just Wow. Glad I waited to deposit

I think he has pretty good chances to go to jail in case he scammed user balances of mintpal.

as far as I understood it the situation here is quite different to the one of mtgox.
Do you really think that Kerpeles didn't scam his users? I think that Mark was more elaborate scammer. This Alex guy just made too many mistakes in his scam, the bottom point is - he is a serial scammer.

It seems that he is the only one with access to the funds - I think this was a little bit different on mtgox.

He will need a good lawyer - UK is quite serious regarding internet crime from what I have read so far.

I can hardly understand how stupid this guy is - he is known, his scamming past is known, it is known that he is the only one having access to the funds. What does he expect, that he can run away with around 2kk$?

We are deeply sorry for all those with funds that are missing and are doing everything we can to recover the funds and bring Ryan to justice

We do not know Ryan's current location, and he is unfortunately the only one with access to customer funds.

I have lost 31 PPC from Moolah.io. I tried to deposit them to the address listed on the currency exchange page. The deposit never showed up despite being listed under a block explorer.

I recommend pooling a http://bitcoinbountyhunter.com/ bounty to find this guy and bring him to justice.
You can fill in the form here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18Df1wxW4kdj0gQX6_mXIa9g6miLvE_Kdm8um8KbQFZ8/viewform

by the way, found this pastebin:
http://pastebin.com/rWXPta9N
could be the address of an incorporations agent or soemthing like that though. With a guy who changes his legal name twice who knows?
edit: it's the house with the green door here:

I asked what was happening with MintPal – Ryan snapped back that MintPal no longer had anything to do with Moolah/MooPay, or otherwise. It was no longer our concern.

[18/10/2014 23:54:00] moolah.io: I'm not saying anything after all I have done for everybody, you in particular, this is how you choose to repay me. Posting like this while you know legal talks are ongoing, and posting like this in what reads as a fairly clear attempt to throw me under the bus "just in case".
 
To the person who has been leaking from this chat for some time, when it fails to be proven that any criminal activity has happened - I will be taking action against those that decided to contribute information to the attacks on me, and the other employees. I am not a passive person in this regard.
 
If you all want to ensure you are protected? Fine. As of 2354 GMT on October 18th, 2014 - the employment of each and every one of you is terminated in full. Any access, or attempt at access to company resources or information; past this time, will be dealt with accordingly by law. If any of you wants to talk, you have my email.

[00:44:34] moolah.io: You're welcome to post that if you wish, but I honestly recommend speaking with a lawyer first.

So what/who is actually running Mint now?  Who is executing the withdrawals?  
apparently alex/ryan has full control, nobody else. you're at his mercy. (he told other moopay/mintpal/whatever "employees" mintpal was no longer their problem).

Where did you get this information from?
I think reddit I'm not sure.. I've read many things on many places. Or maybe some of the pastebins surfacing lately

I just contacted a former NSA employee that was involved in the closure of SilkRoad.

He claims that if BTC was stolen indeed it is possible to find the thied aka "Alex Green".

I take the initiaitve to open a bounty address for the capture work

If you are interested you can donate to the address in my signature.

Please spread the word.

As much as I would like to see scammers be brought to justice, I call bs on this. First of all the NSA was not officially involved and I very much doubt that someone would disclose this kind of information to even a spouse as  this is the kind of information they are forbidden from disclosing.

Also if this were true then law enforcement would simply investigate the crime and would not rely on a bounty like this

The Ultracoin community is missing at least a collective  1,000,000UTC from the people I have talked to, but the total is probably higher.

info



would you be willing to write an article on your investigation that we will publish?

It's not really an investigation, if you start at the original address and just follow the transactions out that are over 100btc, always following the largest amount you pretty soon end up at those addresses, the unconfirmed one has already moved on another few times and is now sitting here
https://blockchain.info/address/12jgEDUGSVPtug1oJirztibPhxavt9CWcw 217btc

A username "Caffeine Drive" mining with Eligius has his mining address filter through to an address that just received 1.4btc of the stolen coins
https://blockchain.info/address/19H6HWGiERgpV8rWQWc8FtjpFv3dLU5FEr

what you have done is admirable and should be shared with more than those who happen to read your post in this thread in this section of this site.  I think others would be made aware of the various ways to get accountability.

Everyone is crazy about 'dark-this' and 'dark-that' until it's their money that is "mixed-up" in all of the 'darkness', then they want a money trail, evidence, and intervention.

Anyway, please contact me if you decide to do a 200 - 1000 word article on how you investigated the Mintpal/Moolah scandal.




Totally agree- I've done my best to alert Bitstamp in the most immediate way possible. If this info we're lookin at is incorrect the worst thing that happens is the wrong account is frozen for a few hours. Best thing that happens is we catch a theif.

Please RT this - https://twitter.com/AltCoinInvestor/status/523889570296135680 or tweet to @Bitstamp (or email) them yourself. If anyone knows of a direct operator over there we can reach out to, lets do that ASAP.

great work

so what is the wallet address that sent to bitstamp, do we need to be more specific?

EDIT: what I mean is like is there a link to the actual transaction going into Bitstamp on blockhain.info or something


The vital address here is https://blockchain.info/address/14S6kiHzVNcSCA9TCiPaEGJfSiP1HHokEd which has:
Total Received   255,069.02367412 BTC   
Final Balance   33,744.14068149 BTC

So it currently has 33k btc in it. The original 148 btc withdrawal from the 3,700 btc was gradually filtered away until the biggest chunk 58.7821574 BTC
was sent to that address. That address has recently sent funds to, what i believe to be, Bitstamps wallet. The thing is, most of the coins being filtered down lead to a simple path, they are all sitting in addresses, but this one ends up in a gigantic wallet. That wallet basically only sends to the 180k Bitstamp wallet and to new clean wallets, like it's Bitstamp moving a chunk of coins to cold storage every so often and the rest is like a new change address or hot wallet. If that 33k wallet was found to be owned by Bitstamp (i'm guessing their hot wallet) then it would be a direct link to Ryan cashing out stolen funds via Bitstamp on 1st September. I'm guessing he used those funds to buy his plane tickets and pay for the hotel etc, but definitely Bitstamp would have to have some kind of paperwork/evidence on file.

is the exact id, stolen funds sent to the 33k address 2014-09-01 17:00:47 if anyone needs it to report it to Bitstamp

Well, That's Crypto :-\
There is no karma only justice.

Until scammers like the Mt Gov & moolah scumbags start ending up in ditches dismembered these scams will continue.

DOX all scammers and drag them from their homes screaming then post on youtube using your TOR device. This will slow the scammers down.
