As for me, this is btc-e hot wallet. I transfered two days ago money to my old btc-e deposit address (before this news https://btc-e.com/news/212) and when they go to this wallet.

@Mullick A quick google search brought up other users speculating that the address belonged to you. We have removed your name from the original post. Thank you for your quick reply.

Thanks for pointing that out. I responded to the thread on litecointalk

Wish we could be of more help. Best of luck tracking down the scammer

Damn, i was really hoping this was a cryptsy wallet but if you look at the address it has to be an hot wallet for some exchange or company right? LXA3i9eEAVDbgDqkThCa4D6BUJ3SEULkEr

Look at the ammount of volume and funds, anyone have any clue who's address this might be? This would help me out massively, whomever helps me catch this guy will be rewarded!

Cryptsy would never sign that many transactions with one key. Its bad practice. Of course if its a users deposit address there isnt much they can do besides force a new address on them

For that kind of volume I would look at Bitfinex, OKCoin or btc38

I wish we could be of more help ;(

Code:

litecoin-cli validateaddress LXA3i9eEAVDbgDqkThCa4D6BUJ3SEULkEr
{
    "isvalid" : true,
    "address" : "LXA3i9eEAVDbgDqkThCa4D6BUJ3SEULkEr",
    "ismine" : false
}

I am curious why you believe it is under our control

I would love to be able to help you. Sorry that I cannot.

We (BCExchange) are fundraising to complete a decentralized exchange, and this new user has replaced the g with a q in our name to create "BCExchanqe". It is causing confusion for people watching our project. This is the thief's profile: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/bcexchanqe-526637

User "Arno0" lost thousands of dollars when he thought he was transferring LTC to the actual project: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/mandatory-upgrade-required-ann-bc-exchange-all-users-must-upgrade-1033773

As a result, this scammer has also directly stolen funds that should have been used for developing our global decentralized exchange, so we are very much interested in bringing him to justice. If anyone has information regarding the identity of "BCExchanqe", please send us a message.

Edit: The funds ended up in LTC address LXA3i9eEAVDbgDqkThCa4D6BUJ3SEULkEr, which is the main hot wallet for a large exchange. http://ltc.blockr.io/tx/info/1172006463108deadbfa67601cda29dc500f6a1f3c4fa25aec68943ca47d27d4

If any user here is aware of which exchange that wallet belongs to, please let Arno0 know so he can investigate.
