Bitcoin-related channels will not tolerate soliciting or distributing stolen coins.

Care to explain that a little more?

What channels are you talking about?

Trying to follow and block tainted coins is extremely dangerous and stupid. It's worse than blocking people by IP. I guess that's precisely what the hacker wants - distribute the money the more he can so that a tainting attempt becomes a disaster.
Many innocent people will end up with a fraction of this theft in their wallets, and in many cases it won't be in the form of a "donation".

Kettenmonster: I know what you mean, you suspect the 1BPK adress is mine but thats not true, just verify with the thread linked that Luke-Jr written and you will see that the adress I specifyed match with that thread.

Sukrim: Then you simply send all coins in your donation adress to 1BPKxyz1234567 ...

nonononononooooooooooooooo all wrong, the correct address to send those coins to is: 1NpVWAGqt7fLoYKnAXnYuKkJxMFEKE7tUq
I will certainly take very good care of all those coins! Grin

Sukrim: Then you simply send all coins in your donation adress to 1BPKHoL1sAVnfzxnH38RfXYYcHrEcniUKW
Thats a special recovery adress set up for those that received stolen funds.
Sending all your coins in your donation adress to 1BPKHoL1sAVnfzxnH38RfXYYcHrEcniUKW will then "clear" your bad reputation so it will not affect you in the future.

You can check the transaction history on blockchainexplorer and check if the coins can be tracked back to the adress 18***yiczhXSSCTciVujNRkkMw1zQ***hp (Scammer's adress), then your coins are black and its just to send everything to 1BPKHoL1sAVnfzxnH38RfXYYcHrEcniUKW .

(putted *** in the adress to prevent it to be sent coins to by mistake)

Why you sould care? Yes because these coins do NOT belong to bitcoinica, rather their userbase, eg those using bitcoinica. Its not a "blame on yourself" type of thing, since the end users could not do anything to prevent this. And bitcoinica will not itself win or lose something on recovering the funds, rather than their reputation would be good if they recovered all the funds to its users.

As with any theft, law enforcement will likely become involved and stolen coins may subject you to criminal investigation and/or charges - please be safe!

FUD in it's truest form... Roll Eyes

If I get Bitcoinica coins because somebody took a donation address of mine and spammed it in this IRC channel - how should I know and why should I care?!

I'd recommend this Bitcoinica hacker guy to just create a few transactions with huge transaction fees - good luck in tracking these!
