| Considering the fact that this was published under a pseudonym (as mentioned by another comment), I wonder if the Tinder details were a bit of misdirection. This person purportedly stole ~41 million dollars from a number of parties. Who knows who those people were? They could be some bad people, they could owe money to some bad people, or they might be angered enough to become bad people. That's not to mention the fact that law enforcement would likely be interested in this. Or maybe some thugs might like to just beat them up until they squeal? Assuming the author is truly the thief, I wonder how many of the details intermingled with their story are false. Imagine you're the thief. You just stole $41MM. Now what? You know someone is gonna wonder where their money went - likely multiple people. The blockchain is a public ledger. The victims are going to hire people with expertise just like the author claimed to have in order to try following the ETH as it is mixed and laundered. That's a lot of money to launder successfully without making a single mistake. And I'd imagine a lot of people will be watching. However, the author surely knows all of this. So why write a blog post with so much helpful information? Assuming all of it is true, we could easily deduce: --- > tinder user, went on a date w/ a creepy guy: author is likely either a straight female, or bi/gay male, single > bastille day celebrations outside: lives in france >has two living parents who own a house, has an older brother who does not have a car, has a sister who is going/went to college >has loans, does not own a house --- That's a lot of information, and isn't even all of it. Why just hand it out, knowing you're likely a big target on a few people's radar? |
Please don't use this term, use the actual stolen property, 153k Ether, whose value will fluctuate daily (it gained and lost €100 in value in the past month, which would make your estimate inaccurate with about €15 million).
