How has nobody besides one person commented on how the coins moved

https://blockchain.info/address/1PFkqgBBrSKikyyUGDerZMfzvCNPgKrR3o



Do you know that was an address controlled by Paraipan?    Do you have a thread link regarding the previous ownership of the address?


Well I am going to assume it was because of this post

What if he formatt the laptop before using?

Ok, human diversity guarantees that someone will format a newly acquired 2nd hand computer without even looking at it but, seriously?

guys dont be naive ,i will recover your contents even if you format n number of times or even it is destroyed i could recover some contents. it will only take a day or two depending upon the size and rotation speed so lets keep this speculation aside

By formatting it I think he's referring to a proper wipe. Even Windows 10 offers doing a write cycle to an entire partition when resetting.

I'm pretty sure he had a large stash of his own.

That was also why I was hoping to get in contact with the family in case they disposed of his laptop / papers etc. From what I could tell they lived meekly and any sort of money would have been a great help, be it the money he's owed by the forum or his bitcoin funds.

That sounds like the most likely scenario to me. The family disposed of his belongings and in it the new computer owner scored a couple of Bitcoin addresses with forum and personal funds. In the case where you buy a old oil painting at a yard sale with a Rembrandt under the watercolor on top, you are the owner of that Rembrandt. In the case of a purchased laptop, the guy buying it may legally own those btc.
Yes you are right but it is highly unlikely that new owner knows who was the first owner and that the laptop has precious coins.What if he formatt the laptop before using?

Oh dear. I hope this is theymos or another mod gaining access to the coins otherwise a shit storm is about to go down.

250 bitcoin = approx  147,000 USD

I doubt it. Unless theymos had a property caretaker contract that is in a legal form in Semenciuc's home country they can't do anything. In my country, possession is ownership of property. To most governments of the world Bitcoin is nothing more than property so he didn't steal money, if it was stolen at all.

The only good thing that will come of this is a valuable lesson (for theymos and others). Don't trust anyone online. They have no incentive to be honest or treat you fairly and every incentive to lie and steal from you.

So is it safe to assume that those coins have fallen foul to a long term, planned out heist?

Either that or the family of the supposedly deceased has stolen the coins.

How else would those coins be on the move now?

Maybe this time they will start to use multi-sig addresses Wink.


Well, of course, I'm sure theymos will now. I remember the splitting of the forum funds. Back then, theymos was taking a lot of shit for holding 6k or so btc in donations and advertising revenue. He decided to divest himself of some caretaker responsibility by splitting some of the funds up between "trusted" forum members. Multi-sig wasn't an option yet. Generally, I think the idea was a good one and most of the people he trusted were honest. At the time, there really was no protection against someone dying other than the fact that only small amounts were given to each person to hold (back then 250btc wasn't much, at the time I was sitting on my own stash of 2000btc). Paraipan was a turd and I didn't like him but I don't think he stole the coin. I'm pretty sure he had a large stash of his own.

Sorry to hear the sad news.If he was the moderator of this forum,there should be an official announcement of his sad demise

He died in April 2014 according to the OP. You'd know that though if you read the thread & stopped shit posting for your sig ad.

Seriously!
My bad.I am terribly sorry Sad
