UPDATE
The 7120 Bitcoins are distributed equally to 7 accounts, all of them were relayed in a Swiss Based IP “46.28.204.193” which is hosting a crypto related website, that is very shady, https://coingavel.com . Is very shady considering that the network used the same IP for the same transactions,when the Funds were out of BTER was the same IP, in transit other IP’s have popped out wich most likely are real nodes,but even if they were splited in multiple transaction and different IP’s in the end we got again at the same IP, the network usually pickup different relays, we know that relay IP it’s not necessary the source IP but we sure know that we are close to the source. If you can help us with this research you can use our Contact button. We think we’ve done our research pretty well, but the problem is that it will require some good Social Engineering or Authorities support to trace all this back to its root. Theoretical will be easy by offering the logs from those server and track down the exact hour at which this e-robbery happened.

Well, we also sent an e-mail to BTER, with our research in hope that they will help them to get at the exact people who robbed, it’s at a distance of 1-2 IP’s for sure. We are so close that’s why we will continue our research and contact the companies that host those IP’s .
[UPDATE 2-15-2015 – 9:55 PM +2 UTC]
We have a a possible suspect or future aid in finding the real hacker! With help from Franko Collective people who started as well to research on this horrible situation of BTER we gathered some info regarding that relay IP from Switzerland. His name is Woźniak Sebastian . Why do we believe it’s a suspect or a possible aid? Well, he seems to be a hacking & Bitcoin enthusiast having an article on Hacking9 & a profile on Bitcoin Foundation. Also, he scammed people in the past on Bitcointalk, he would had the proper expertise to hack, a website or server, but also he could help Bitcoin Network to setup node’s, If we can get to his node server we can lookup in logs and see were the transaction it’s gone and what possible IP we got, so it will remain a mystery till further information. Until we investigate more into this serious issue, it will remain “suspect” and not guilty also we have a strong belief that isn’t the guy that has Bitcurex, it would be awful to make such accusations, but somebody using this name for his online assets. We will keep you updated on our tracing to the guy who robbed BTER, again this is “Wozniak Sebastian” is just a link, a hint, a suspect, or somebody that could help us track the real hacker down by looking in his possible node logs.
For now we got e-mails from people who are willing to help and use software that could help us find the real IP of the attacker. The funds haven’t moved yet and they got a weird encrypted note on each transaction.
