You're probably talking about me. I actually screwed up when I was moving coins around, and ended up emptying someone's address out, however I put everything back within a few minutes. I haven't had anyone whose coins I touched accuse me of anything unseemly, but of course there are random posters on internet forums who talk shit.

Your point that I couldn't have given a public talk had I stolen the coins is completely correct. I still spoke with a lawyer about it ahead of time, though. :-P

There was another person, who was somewhat less scrupulous, who would simply steal the coins and watch for someone to complain in public about it, then offer to return them. They use a pseudonym and as far as I can tell have vanished.

Oh, hey! Glad to hear you talked to a lawyer beforehand.
