Dear Hacker,
Firstly I'd like to sincerely congratulate you for such a perfect and traceless job in emptying my Bitcoin wallet after hacking my Gmail account, in spite of all security measures I had put in place to safeguard it.
As you may have expected, the addresses that you sent my bitcoins are being watched and I have asked my crew to warn all Bitcoin exchanges about this hack, including LocalBitcoins.
Additionally, I'm hiring a bitcoin tracker analysis team to watch any future transactions that you might be doing with my bitcoins.
I'd like to offer you a bounty of 20% of the total hacked in case you return my bitcoins. Please, do contact me on
[email protected] for further instructions on how to receive your bounty in an anonymous way, of course.
Thanks for your attention,
Allex Ferreira
If this is true, your efforts to put those coins under surveillance and to forewarn exchanges will not help apprehend a clever scammer. Stolen bitcoins are not at all difficult to liquidate. There are well-engineered mixers designed to effectively do that. Then you have those felons who will trade the bitcoins for altcoins anonymously which would perfect the mixing process. If you have a cautious scammer, he might opt to retrade those altcoins for bitcoins again which would further obfuscate the trail of your coins. If mixed, all the exchanges you alerted can't help you.
further instructions on how to receive your bounty in an anonymous way
I'm a bit confused and amused about that part. Why would an anonymous thief return 100% of something in exchange for 20% of what he returned? And given that you have made it clear to the hacker that you intend to pursue him by hook or by crook, I can imagine a sharp thinking conman would be less keen to contact you, let alone return the coins.
My sympathies for your loss but I don't believe the thief will happily accept your offer. If he does, that would be a first.
Care to share how many bitcoins this hacker manage to perfectly and tracelessly pinch from your wallet? Just to quell my curiosity. Threads like this make for entertaining reading, despite the sad ending I can already foresee.
