"A bitcoin user who calls himself TradeFortress says more than 4,100
bitcoins worth about $1.1 million have been robbed from his website.

The stolen bitcoins are owned by the users of his website, who had trusted
their bitcoins to him.

TradeFortress, who says he is not much older then 18, does not want to be
identified because he is worried about his personal safety.

He and his users know the chances of getting their bitcoins back are
extremely unlikely because bitcoin transactions can't be reversed.

The bitcoin transaction trail is designed to be anonymous, which has led to
speculation this was an inside job and that TradeFortress took the coins
for himself.

But when asked by AM he strenuously denied those accusations, and that
despite his $1 million dollar loss he is unlikely to report the theft to
the police."


and

"Technology commentator Sthilgarian says the appeal of bitcoin theft, as
opposed to stocks or bonds, lies in its inability to be traced."

Possibly a relative of sometime linker Stilgherrian?
