Damn Hackers! Feel bad for your client, have you tried forwarding this tread to Nic Cary/Blockchain/info Support?
Don't know whether they'll be able to assist in tracking, but worth a shot?
Topic: Stolen bitcoins, help! (Read 4566 times)
Person who does activities like this they use all information fake , that's why it is hard to track such transaction especially person. It is better to be sure and verify well to who you send money.
Please go away. You don't seem to have any idea what you are talking about and aren't contributing anything useful to this discussion.
Nobody "sent money", it was stolen. The victims computer was hacked, and his private keys were stolen. The thief then used the private keys to take the money.

Well the courts and the government do not take generally mess up with the bitcoin thing, at least the Indian government doesn't.
The U.S. government does. Just ask Trendon Shavers, Marcus Walls, Pascal Reid, Michell Espinoza, and Charlie Shrem.
And what if the thief is from another country?
And what if he's not? There is no way to know until we try to find out.
Then there is almost no way that you can drag him to the court and there is no way you can provide a "solid" proof about who stole your bitcoins.
What does the country have to do with providing proof? If the thief is a U.S. resident, I'll contact his local police. If the thief is not a U.S. resident, then I'll do whatever I legally can to attempt to recover the funds.
Well do you really think that a thief would use the same bitcoin address to scam different people? It takes less than a second to generate 100address. and even if you catch the thief there are very less chances that you would be able to get the btc back. Stay alert in the future 
Best of Luck
Best of LuckYou'd be surprised at the stupid things that many thieves do. This particular thief has already used this address several times. This is easily confirmed. Your advice is invalid, unhelpful, and a complete waste of time.
You stand that thief right in front of me, and I'll take that bet.
this is why i always feel really scared to use any online bitcoin wallet service. I feel safe storing on paper / offline wallets. Even coinbase i dont like bitcoins staying there. Im my mind its easier for a hacker to commit efforts to scam people from online services with the potential for massive gain than to target me individually outside of simple virus/scams.
I hope everything works out for you guys.

Best of LuckIf he can prove it who stole it.. he can take them to court and they will garnish his wages to pay the person back.. yes it will be Fiat but he will get the money that was stolen.

Best of Luck The user "themad2403" over at hackforums.net has admitted to being the thief
So whats the next step? Any chance of getting him prosecuted?
Unfortunately, it is currently unlikely that he will be prosecuted.
The only reliable information we've acquired so far is a facebook account (that was quite possibly created with false credentials), and an email address (that was also probably created with false credentials).
The name and possible address that I've received are not reliable.
The search engine that turned them up specifically states in its response:
Quote
0 Public Record Matches
and
Quote
The email address may belong to one of the following people based on the name and location obtained from one or many of the social network profiles found.
It is quite likely that the name on the Facebook profile is a fake, and the search results are just a variety of people in the state listed on the Facebook profile who happen to have what is a very common name.
There just isn't enough there to find and prosecute him. I continue to hope that more information will turn up in time, but at the moment, this thief has managed to hack and steal without revealing anything more about himself than his hackforums.net userID.
I'll speak with law enforcement, just to see if they are able or willing to get involved, but without additional information this isn't likely to progress much further.

what does this have to do with themad2403?
themad2403 at hackforums.net? He stole the bitcoins.
He admitted to it.
Even if he hadn't it wouldn't matter. It is quite clear that he owns the bitcoin address where the bitcoins were transferred to when they were stolen.
no, i mean what does phinneas gage's post have to do with the thief?
those images from hackforums are different users

Any chance that the person who bought BTC from you, Dan, could have been the person who owned the wallet address where the BTC went to, with the hope some, if not all the $ were returned to him?
It's a legitimate concern, but in this case I'm as certain as I can be that it isn't the case.
The user "themad2403" over at hackforums.net has admitted to being the thief, and it has been determined with relative certainty that he is hispanic.
He has refused to return the bitcoins to the victim.
I've dealt with the guy who bought from me in the past, he isn't hispanic, and I'm certain that he doesn't have the skills to pull of a such a scam right in front of me on his own.
While a possibility could exist that he was working with someone else who was not there and was waiting for the bitcoins to be deposited so they could quickly sweep them out, he'd have had to be a pretty impressive actor and have worked out some pretty good timing.
Given how many scams we see on a daily basis, I think we all carry tin foil hats around with us. In this case, I don't think its warranted.

Greetings, Here are two address which may add to Bitcoin's blockchain.info or equivalent to monitor if they does the thing
1. 1ALA5v7h49QT7WYLcRsxcXqXUqEqaWmkvw (Cloudhashing,which I am very sure as I have received the first payment today)
2. Ghash.io (1CjPR7Z5ZSyWk6WtXvSFgkptmpoi4UM9BC), which is default labled by blockchain.info
