Can't agree with this policy as much as I want the perp to be caught... you cannot have "collateral damage" just like that.

How would they know the coins were stolen?

do coins carry a unique marker or something?

Yes of course they do.

You can always tell where they came from, just not always "who" they came from (if you know what I mean).

It's like this forum. You can always tell what account posted what message, but no one really knows who owns the forum account in real life.

Of course. All bitcoins can be traced through the decentralized ledger. That is a fundamental design of Bitcoin.

Probably shouldn't of posted that.. But then again i would love to find out where they came from to.

I was paid this morning in BTC for USD from a vendor from a online market. Like a USD for BTC exchange.

I am trying to find more info on this person...

My guess is that you used Intersango.

Would you be willing to post the TXID or either address (sending or receiving)?

This is not the first time I've seen someone panic about this, either. Several people had the same thing happen after withdrawing coins from Tradehill's pool and putting them into MtGox.

What great customer service - put your clients into a frenzied panic thinking their account has been hacked by locking their account with no notification of any kind.



I was thinking the same thing. BY THE WAY, How would MTGox know if the coins were stolen?

Do bit-coins carry a unique marker?


I wanted to thank everyone for the reply's, at-least freaking out on bitcointalk killed some time.

Sorry for the misleading topic as the account was not hacked. Just investigated.

How did you send the USD? Liberty Reserve, moneyPak?


I don't really want to get into details but he used a exchange service i used.

I already had funds on the service. Turns out he had a account there. Thats the only way i would agree to the transaction, because i had some kind of recourse in the event of a scam


I have the account email i sent them to.

I am turning that over to mtgox now.

Hi,

We have noticed you have deposited recently 7 BTC and have a reason to believe those coins may have come from the coins stolen from Bitcoinica (see the bitcointalk forum for more details).

MtGox Co. Ltd.

WHat the F is going on here...


I was paid BTC in exchange for money and now i get this??!!

God at first i was relieved now im petrified i did something wrong

note to self: don't deposit coins to mtgox no matter how innocent.



Well noted...
Note to self: Trade only with people and exchanges that are WELL KNOWN and have been around for a long while. #bitcoin-otc has a good rating system to find traders that can be trusted.

Sorry, that's never going to be good enough. Those well known people and exchanges don't have all the information MtGox has...or does MtGox have a "stolen coin API" ? And even that's a very dangerous move for a company who has a large BTC investment.

If they try to become a central authority that determines which coins are "legal", Bitcoin is doomed. I hope they are smarter than that.

You did nothing wrong, but whoever sent you these coins might have. Which is why we are all interested in hearing how you obtained those coins Smiley

I got no emails or anything. What should i do?

Check your spam folder as well, perhaps the change password message got routed there.

I contacted mtgox and waiting.

Assuming this was a support ticket you opened, then you can check an existing request here:
 - https://support.mtgox.com/requests

If they haven't yet responded, there's not much you can do.  If there's no response after a reasonable amount of time (e.g., maybe one business day and the ticket has not yet been addressed) then perhaps you can escalate with some prodding on the #mtgox IRC channel on Freenode.
