but looks like you'll are on top of this side tidbit ... see photos above ... yeap things are getting tighter for he who has absconded ...


Go Blue!

OR

Only justice possible will be if a big Crypto players already in/from China, "fixes" Vern Asian style by making a legal example of him.

I think it maybe a safe bet 1 or 3 Chinese exchanges had their arbitrage accounts hacked/stolen.  A European exchange is on the record for already being stuck, doubt they were the only one.

I also doubt the officials see him as some kind of Edward Snowden, rather just another low life not welcome once his initial visa expires.  

"US is just not going to give two shits about."  Yes. True.

But he will be in the books as wanted.  That makes travel not easy.

Agree.
Receiver needs to hire several geeks.  Secure the property.  Help inform the Receiver on how refunding account holders works, help do it.  I see 100s of hours bill-able.  And for other coins that where Cry-fried to start tracing wallets, but I doubt the next moves will be so blatant and transparent.  But if other coin communities aid in making some noise it is very likely that some lawyers will be having you work with their paralegals moving funds to known secure addresses.  ASAP.

All this excitement seems to have spooked the Uno markets a little.

Still in disbelieve. I think we're kinda waiting for that 15k to leave bittrex just to be sure. Some kind of official statement from bittrex or Mr. Sallah would certainly help. 'Spooked' is actually the right word. Needs some time to get confidence back.

New theory:

Receiver, now regularly corresponding with Bittrex.  Relationship develops into just hiring Bittrex to hold the coins.  And store them cold.  Makes more sense than hiring a random geek.  Bittrex is regulated and beholden to the law.

So those tons will stay there, but with the keys secured, as they probably are already for UNO, the rest of the Cryptsy assets to follow.

Just a theory.

It's an even split but it looks like people would like to see those 'in-limbo' coins redistributed to their rightful owners before accumulating more. It makes sense, you have to assume that at least some of those 15,072 coins will be sold once they're re-acquired. The thing is that it could literally take years to sort this out, so if you're waiting for Cryptsy funds to be redistributed you will miss out on many cycles of opportunity.

My cost-average decreased dramatically during the recent price spike, but I'm still accumulating below my average buy price.

I agree that bitcoin looks strong, & that has an effect on altcoin markets. I would like Unobtanium users to remember that you can margin-long bitcoin. So whether you are 100% bitcoin or 40% UNO 40% bitcoin & 20% 3x long bitcoin, you have the same bitcoin exposure. The difference is that in the latter scenario you have that Unobtanium counter-balance. I've got a bitfinex referral code on my twitch page (linked in my sig) if anyone wants to register to lend or margin trade. (of course you have to be very careful with margin trading in such volatile markets.)

Hello guys & gals,
Would you like to help stick it to Big Vern?  This is your chance.

I spoke again with the Cryptsy conservator today. He explained that the current status of the UNO wallet that was stolen from Cryptsy is that it is frozen by Bittrex.  I've been asked to provide reasonable proof connecting the Bittrex wallet to Cryptsy. Bittrex understandably needs to cover themselves from a business & liability perspective. They didn't ask for stolen UNO to be sent to Bittrex, and have cooprated by freezing the wallet. Yet, it is reasonable that they have asked the conservator for some help to trace the funds.  Obviously, Bittrex doesn't watch the rockchain as closely as we do, and the conservator has no prior experience with UNO whatsoever, so we were asked to provide some help.  I think we can do this.   (and no, I'm not getting paid for any of this).

Did you escape Cryptsy with UNO in the final days?  I am looking for Cryptsy withdrawal transactions that can be traced directly to the big Cryptsy Cold Wallet.

Here is what would be helpful:

1) Transaction ID of your latest and largest withdrawals from Cryptsy that may have moved the Cold Wallet. I'll take anything at this point.  Something from January would be great, but if you pulled out 2k UNO from Cryptsy in 2014, I'll be glad to work with that.

2) This is a bonus:  you still control the wallet that received the UNO from Cryptsy, and ideally you have the ability to sign a message from the wallet.

3) Super bonus: you would be ok identifying yourself to the conservator who is trying to recover the Cryptsy wallet, perhaps making a statement that you did indeed trigger that transaction which moved the Cryptsy cold wallet.

I'll be happy with #1, but #2 & #3 would clinch it.  If you PM me the transaction, I will keep it confidential.  If you feel comfortable posting the info here, then go ahead do that so everyone in the world can also sleuth the rockchain, but just know that you will be revealing your wallet.

Apparently, he did not.
I found this one, though...

Maybe he used that one instead.

If we know that you withdrew from Cryptsy to an address that you control, that the transaction originated on the transaction chain between the uRAN wallet and the Bittrex wallet, that should be reasonable proof that Cryptsy ultimately controlled the wallet.  I am not an attorney, but I play one on Bitcointalk. This is not a criminal case, it's civil, which has a lower standard of proof.

I'll have more to share soon, but if anyone has withdrawal transactions they can share with me, we can stick it to Big Vern in a big way.
