That guy did a really bad job of blacking out sensitive information. It probably nails the receiver down to only a couple of hundred people.
With a bit of levels adjustment and http://i.imgur.com/y0Ee8cl.png We're being lied to. This is fake. The street address doesn't match the post code. My assessment: The hacker created the order himself, with fake ID, fake address and doctored the timestamp.
I agree. The email in the screenshot smells like a hoax (assuming your level stuff is legitimate; I haven't played with the source image in GIMP myself).
63101 is the downtown area (right by the Arch) – not really a place most people live, but the kind of place you might get if you Googled "St Louis zip code".
Also amusingly, "198 Bruce Ave" (not Street as in the email) is right in the center of the area Google labels Ferguson, MO.

#113Satoshi's account on p2pfoundation.ning.com also made the first comment since he said "I am not Dorian Nakamoto." back in March. It says: "Dear Satoshi. Your dox, passwords and IP addresses are being sold on the darknet. Apparently you didn't configure Tor properly and your IP leaked when you used your email account sometime in 2010. You are not safe. You need to get out of where you are as soon as possible before th…
So could someone explain how an IP address would leak when using an email account? I suppose potentially in the SMTP header, but this would assume he was using a email server running on his own personal ip, right? So is the guess here (assuming this is even true) that he had an email server running at home, leaked the ip, and then was attacked when someone found it?
It says "used your email account", so maybe it's the log gmail (and others?) keeps of logins to the account that is visable for a few days back?

If Satoshi can't configure Tor correctly how is Joe Blow supposed to figure it out?
or Dread Pirate Roberts

Not at all, you can freely walk into most exchange offices. Theoretically an armed robbery of exchanges and payment processors would be the perfect crime. Commit private address to memory or tattoo it on yourself in code, after the robbery forcing them to transfer to your public address and waiting out confirmations turn yourself in to the police and do the 5 yrs. Walk out with millions worth of bitcoins on your arm.…
They'd keep you in indefinitely for contempt of court for not handing over what you'd stolen.
IANAL, but in the US, the 5th amendment still protects combination locks, and as far as I can tell, passwords.
Prosecutors can be as intimidating as they wish, the government is free to use their magical NSA powers to recover the bitcoin. They can't compel someone to incriminate themselves. giving the wallet address to the prosecutor is effectively admitting to a crime, perhaps just conspiracy, but nonetheless that's self incrimination.
Go for memorization over tattooing.

Mirrored screenshots here: http://i.imgur.com/McgiZwb.png http://i.imgur.com/lfCJeBI.png Edit: To respond to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8288579 Looks like "Phone 31x" under the email address, which is consistent with St Louis area code of 314.
So we're looking at the gmx.com account being legitimately hacked -- but Satoshi had good enough opsec to not leak anything interesting from the account. The hacker gained access to the gmx.com mailbox - resets all of the third party accounts and still comes out with nothing of value?!! 1) So he has to fake an invoice to gain media buzz? I don't buy it. 2) What's in the outbox?
> but Satoshi had good enough opsec to not leak anything interesting from the account.
Except is St Louis Missouri street address and telephone number.

Kill occupants of building, move 1.3 cubic meters of gold in 30 trips with transport van. Now you have a few other problems, such as making sure that you're not going to end up in the same way. Besides surveillance cam footage recording your whereabout during part of your trip and the distance being fairly easily estimated if you do two trips in quick succession leading to a possible ID and or location of the stash.…
I believe all you need is several mini coopers.
I understand that reference.

If I were rational enough to plan that far ahead, I'd probably be rational enough to realize that the guy who invented bitcoin isn't responsible for anything and everything that happens with it, particularly events to which he has no connection other than having been the inventor. Like if someone steals my expensive Android phone, I'm not going to find Andy Rubin and punch him. Because that ... just wouldn't make any…
Surely Edwin Armstrong bears even greater responsibility in light of his invention of the superheterodyne receiver!
I guess Hedy Lamarr is also dead. Might as well punch Rubin.

"In Chadwick v. Janecka (3d Cir. 2002), a U.S. court of appeals held that H. Beatty Chadwick could be held indefinitely under federal law, for his failure to produce US$ 2.5 million as state court ordered in a civil trial. Chadwick had been imprisoned for nine years at that time and continued to be held in prison until 2009, when a state court set him free after 14 years, making his imprisonment the longest on a contempt charge to date."

Or somebody created the order and used that email address as a joke. Most online stores don't make you confirm an email address when you place an order.
Now, after this much time since that order, that person will be the star of the next Newsweek article because they didn't want to use their real address when buying a miner.
