Interesting: the thief is currently attempting to launder a fraction (1000 BTC, worth ~$550k) through a giveaway:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1574127.0

He is sending the coins as we speak: https://blockchain.info/address/1BfxSuxJqXuizBbTcP238JZY9DT4...

As a contingency, to plan for his possible arrest/death/etc, he signed a NLOCKTIME transaction that would automatically destroy these 1000 BTC in a week if no action is taken.

His handle "rekcahxfb" spells "bfxhacker" in reverse. No plans yet on what he will do with the remaining 118 500 BTC.
