Certainly there are 9.8 BTC at that address: https://blockchain.info/address/1HGM9JYuX6K359b19XQj3ohzxjYoJDey1o and the other address that 9.8 was supposedly sent to has 0 BTC: https://blockchain.info/address/18cB1JqWs4QGZ43rkR2pmxBuen7MDpMXBm

Am not sure what might have gone wrong with the tx as being a single UTXO and being very old it should not even require a fee.

Try starting the client with the -rescan commanline option perhaps?

You could try that but assuming you are wanting to *not* broadcast that tx now then you should stop running bitcoin (as it will keep trying to broadcast the tx every 30 minutes or so).

And assuming you have a backup of the wallet that was *prior* to that attempted tx (but does have the original 9.8 BTC) then replace the current wallet with your backup (keep a copy of the current wallet *just in case*).

Assuming all looks fine when you restart Bitcoin then you should upgrade your client to the latest (you need to do this by May 15th anyway).

I think this is the address that holds the limbo-ed money: 1HGM9JYuX6K359b19XQj3ohzxjYoJDey1o

How I move the money out of this address? (rather, how I tell the old client that the money is still there?)

I Don't know the version of the client.

Anyway, the only information I could extract is this:

o seu endereço bit coin
1C69jwHJn9HsvyKyBcoUeWZLjnaDhXAF1V


Estado: 0/não confirmado
Data: 1/2/2013 15:24
Destinatário: 18cB1JqWs4QGZ43rkR2pmxBuen7MDpMXBm
Débito: -9.80
Quantia Net: -9.80


How I get back those 9.8 BTC?

The intention was send them to mtgox to sell, but it never worked out (0/not confirmed) so... what now?
