the exact amount he stole is unknown. the 500k btc ($5mill) figure came from people doing block chain analysis and seeing him loop his transactions through Silkroad, but misinterpreting the 500k stash as pirates, where in fact it was Silk roads.



it might be best to leave it to the guys that are at the top of the investigations to fill in the page. or even not make it an issue to be worthy of mentioning and try to keep bitcoins history as clean as possible instead of just highlighting the bad at every opportunity. maybe make pages for positive bitcoin history.



I DO NOT TRADE OR ACT AS ESCROW ON THIS FORUM EVER.

Please do your own research & respect what is written here as both opinion & information gleaned from experience. many people replying with insults but no on-topic content substance, automatically are 'facepalmed' and yawned at

People need to know. I fixed this error and made the btc amount a conjecture.

The page was created when someone asked me on reddit who exactly was pirate, and thought he either stole $500,000 or $50,000,000, both are probably wrong.



Everyone, if you see errors or just ways the article can be improved, please edit, it is a wiki after all. People need to know.

Quite a few people claimed to have "a quite good idea" of what he's doing, afterwards they defaulted with him though. Total amounts of BTC that went to and from pirate can be deducted from the blockchain (with real scrapers, not PatrickHarnett's "Stare at it long enough and patterns emerge magically and you know that pirate is legit!"). https://www.coinlend.org <-- automated lending at various exchanges.

https://www.bitfinex.com <-- Trade BTC for other currencies and vice versa.
