So, is this an admission? Or a theoretical? Or only part of the story? Is the writer using a pseudonym?

I agree this reads like fiction, and it would be idiotic to admit it.

If real, the people he stole from may be even less ethical than he is (and they must have noticed the ETH were gone, and at what time). This could paint him as a murder target, a position I wouldn't want to be in...

I have a hunch that this is a parody of the DAO token theft.

Don't have the technical knowledge, nor do I care to put in the hours to figure it all out.

Out of curiosity...is this a man or a woman?

EDIT: What's with the oversensitivity here? Is there anything wrong in asking a person's sex? What if it's for studying inclination towards certain decision making criteria? Geez folks, not every question is sinister. If you don't want to answer it, just move on. No one is being attacked here.

he is claiming to be the multi-sig exploit hacker:

he is probably role playing because i doubt whoever did this would put themselves at risk by claiming they did it publicly

except it is possibly a grey area, the contracts are written such that extracting the money is only possible if you fulfill the contract, if you find a loophole and fullfill the contract and take the money did you really steal it?
