Topic: My bitcoins have been stolen - page 7. (Read 4786 times)
so he stole 3.87224984 BTC??
He stole more than that....
Do you honestly think that the hardware he bought was a measly 1 btc?
That doesn't include the BTC that he supposedly paid for the hardware. Hence why I said he stole more than that.
pretty smart way to get free mining gear. I wonder how many times he did this.
There is chance that he brought some virus on the USB flashdisk unintentionally.

Oh dear.
I wonder if the police report is going to be of any use.

This. More than likely the btc stealing software. Face2Face is not always a good decision. Never allow someone to install something, or put something into your computer. I would have had him write down his address, not bring a flash drive. Your bitcoins can possibly be returned if you backed up your wallet with an encryption. He shouldn't be able to do anything with them as long as you did that. Also why do you post this in the noob section? Shouldn't this go in the support section?
Where do you get this idea? If the coins are gone they are gone. There is no getting them back (at least not through the protcol). An encrypted version of the wallet does nothing if the attacker has access to your system. They can install anything including a keylogger to record and transmit your passphrase the next time you type it and a rootkit to hide any trace it ever existed.
In otherwords, you think the guy spent hundreds of dollars for hacking software to gain a couple btc? I doubt anyone would want to go through that much trouble, or even gain federal offences on their names over something that does not truely exist.

Ouch, live and learn.
I don't know. He seemed cool. He brought over his 3 year old daughter too and my son played with her while we did the transaction.
Seems like a clean cut nice guy.
I have his personal information though.
I will blast it all over the internet and file a police report too.
My BTC wallet is ...

I am a newbie and just got my ass handed to me.
This feels great... glad I joined the BTC community.
Now I am screwed on my bills.

I think we will fail as a society when I read topics like this.
Never allow random dude plugging things to your computer if it's not good friend or close relative.
Never allow any bitcoiner plugging things to your computer even if it's good friend or close relative.
Also you should watch this project: bitcointrezor.com
It's physical USB device which can save you from scams like this in the future (It's not ready yet). Device can hold your private keys and it show transaction details on internal LCD display when making a transaction. Transacton is created & broadcasted only after you press the confirmation button on the device itself. If there is something wrong wit the transaction, you can just switch to secure PC and try again. Also physical wallet cannot be copied. It has to by stolen physically to do any harm.

why would you let him plug a usb in your pc? never trust anybody.
You let a person you don't trust run an unknown program on your computer?
Most likely he compromised your system. Installed a rootkit, keylogger, made a copy of your wallet.dat, etc.
Why, why why would you let someone use the computer containing your bitcoin wallet?
