A felony? You think there is some magic crypto-currency police?

Just stop, it is a dangerous game you are playing. He held up his end of the bargain and released his coins as promised. Yes we all lost, but that is the deal here. Don;t want to get scammed, stay out of this game.

Little info regarding this scammers location.

these coordinates lead to some kinda church

I doubt he lives there.  Where did you get these coordinates?

And what the hell are you guys going to do? Prank call him? Grow up.

For one he commited a felony which could get him into jail? Or you could just stop by to say hi. Canadian who got scammed could just go to the police and lead them investigate if they could convey the concept of altcoins to them.

Find someone in living in the area and send him by to look at the adress. Or we could just crowd source a private investigator. I throw in 0.3 btc and if we get five more people that would be enough to pay and send someone there. Shouldn't be to hard to ask around until you find "the computer guy". Anyhow how do you guys know its the devs ip?

How you found out?
IP is 173.34.203.191
Use an IP locator and you will find this info. But it is not enough. We need to track the phone number, fb page, etc and match the puzzle together. Get me his ID and address and I will book a return flight to Canada next week!

If somebody lived there you could just go by and look for the 20 - 35 computer guy (or ask around) and woops you'd have the name. Or, you know, call the police.

Something along the lines of triggering alerts for unusual deposits/withdrawals... placing limits on trades so that a wallet holding more than the entire 24hr volume can't nuke the entire platform... freezing the accounts of rogue traders...

I'm sure there's plenty of other safeguards available..

and it can all be automated.

Those aren't bad ideas, but someone from bittrex would need to say if their system has any safeguards in place or not. Obviously they didn't safeguard against what occurred here just now. I assume some of the exchanges have 'dump' check code, or at least hope they do... I think poloniex may. Several times I recall coins being frozen there due to suspicious activity. Or perhaps poloniex just likes to freeze coins randomly...

But yeah, they could put some code in there to help things a bit. And they shouldn't have listed the coin to begin with due to the premine. Hopefully they learn from this and go beyond simply saying they wont agree to destroy coins in the future.

At the end of the day it's up to the exchanges to moderate their business if they want to survive. Small investors are being driven away from alts by the rapacious greed of a minority (which is why fiat is so heavily regulated). So volumes are shrinking, profits are falling... and the big cats are being left to devour each other. I know that I can't afford to buy Any altcoin because it's value can be wiped out in an instant. The alternative is to play the same game and dump on a regular basis to mitigate losses and preserve profits. And if everybody does that the whole system will fall apart.

At the moment there is No safe coin to hold long term. Lite Dark Crypt Cloak and dozens of others have amply demonstrated the fact this week. BTC is no safe haven, but the sheer volume makes it a fairly secure long term investment for disposable income. The rest are as secure as the next organised dump.

But the BTC remained in a Bittrex account until they were withdrawn (if they have indeed been withdrawn). And Somebody has to make a withdrawal request, and then confirm it by email. Bittrex may not know the identity, but the surely knew which account was responsible for a 20 megaton dump... after they'd agreed to burn the surplus coin. And they had (or have) to agree the release of the spoils.

They must know the account that made the dump + withdrawal, of course. But it's all automated. I mean, you go and sell a coin, go to withdraw btc, all you have to do is click on your email to confirm. 2 seconds later and it's on it's way.

It's not like bittrex sits there and verifies withdrawals by hand. So I'm not entirely sure what they could have done, unless there was some 'dump' check code in place to stop trading beforehand, or something similar.

Long time lurker here. I must say I'm disgusted by the amount of scams going on lately. I will offer to track down this dev and provide their personal info to whoever wants it. I have been working for years in network security so this will be no problem for me. If you want this dev tracked down, send 1 btc to the address in sig. Also send me a pm with the transaction i.d. so I can confirm. 1 btc per request. By sending the btc you acknowledge you are receiving information from an anonymous third party and this party will not be held liable for any wrongdoings against the person for which the info they are providing. 1 btc per request.
