    Here a newbie is claiming somebody stole him some bitcoins, and provided his robbed address: 16io8zfbhStqe9WVdHN3JLzc29D73okaoy.

    I have checked where his coins were gone, and they have only traveled through a single transaction, to this strange address: it has been used multiple times to receive coins, never to spend, and contains some (for me) odd transactions with multiple duplicated input addresses (i.e. in a single transaction an address appears multiple times as input).

    I've tried the taint analysis, and I got a strange result: the source address has a count of 108.
    Now, I don't know much about how this taint analysis works, but if those addresses were really unrelated, shouldn't the count be just 1?

    PS: I've no idea who the OP is, I just stumbled upon his post and tried to analyse this out of curiosity.
