Topic: Tom Williams ~ The Smoking Gun(s) or Phin's Pholly - page 12. (Read 16319 times)
I'll wait for the ebook. I have secured my position in VexCoins.
I think "Tom Willams" may be Vietnamese...

After a bit of googling, I found wildtigon is really into high power GPU processing as he posted that he was impressed with this fellow's rig here: (post #11) http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?211727-Celeron-E1200-Aircooling-run-Great-results&p=3520070&highlight=#post3520070
wildtigon has a mostly blank webpage at http://wildtigon.multiply.com/ The title of the page is 'Nguyen's Site'
So, I then did a google search for 'wildtigon Nguyen' and a crap ton of sites came up, but everything is in Vietnamese. But from what I have been able to translate, this person has been heavily involved in high power GPU processing for quite some time.
Perhaps someone who can read Vietnamese might have better luck in digging deeper...
Edit: also, googling his email address also gave numerous hits. He is a member on another forum with 767 posts...but all in chicken scratch I can't read. http://vozforums.com/member.php?u=674200

They were also talking about some Swedish guy with a backpack stealing laptops. I never heard anything about it here, so I figured they might've been just making it up.
He probably only actually wanted the wallets.
SA goons keep talking about how Tom Williams allegedly attended the Bitcoin Conference in NYC unmolested, but I've never seen any credible citation for this - anyone know anything about that?
I heard the rumor that he was there too but there is nothing credible backing that up.

People were openly bashing the guy there. If he was there then he has nerve. I know because the flexcoin table had the most people asking "are you another mybitcoin". Mostly because it just happened and was fresh in everyone's head... Including mine.. We still have some legacy from it. For example flexcoin has a 15 confirm policy due to what Tom "claimed" happened.
Paranoid maybe but that diaster in focus did up the standard for security..
Even if security wasn't what happened.. My feeling was theft but I dint know. I never had coins at mybitcoin...
OP: You wrote all of that post and said nothing. Ignored.
I'm back now, but going to take a nap. I had it all laid out this morning (when the sun was coming out) but had to get some shut eye. If I tried to do it now, I would eff it all up. But let me leave you with this, if my memory serves this tired brain correctly, a close fried on Tom Williams directly links to Bruce. Without opening up a tap and double checking, there's this Russian dude who signed up to Mt. Gox between Bruce and Ed (not the only Russian connection I uncovered). Also double check the first couple or so names after Ed signed up. The trip today wore my ass out for even during driving I kept rolling this information around in my head.

Am I naive in thinking that the exchanges (mtgox) must have quite a clue what happened to mybitcoin's coins
and who the person is behind the website? Did they ever make a statement saying they knew nothing
that could help?

Interesting. A web programmer for a bank - that is pretty much exactly who you would be looking for to be behind a site like mybitcoin.com and he just so happens to have the same name.
I was there. everyone had to introduce themselves while standing. it was very awkward but nobody skipped a beat. I guess he could have been there and used a fake name but it is unlikely. also why would he have attended? what could he possibly have gained from that?
Research for his next scam, probably.

mybitcoin.com was hosted on OpenBSD or another *BSD variant.
The Tom Williams LinkedIn profile looks like it's for a Microsoft nerd. C#, ASP.Net...
Doesn't seem to add up.

That could be just what he does for a living. Maybe he would use open source but BoA won't let him.

Same guy as the OP. Different guy than mybitcoin.com imho. And I also doubt Tom Williams is his real name.
But I did have to take a second glance when I clicked 'Updates' on his profile.

Here's the archive on his site for the month it was allegedly stolen.

Hi everyone. I am totally devastated today. I just woke up to see a very large chunk of my bitcoin balance gone to the following address:

remember though the chances are VERY high that the name tom williams was fraud in the first place.

Allinvain seems to have been running some sort of e-money exchange website back in 2007.

Email at the top of the page matchs the email in the MTGOX dump
Here's another site.

No where on either site does he mention getting robbed for BTC.
