    I have some possible suspects. I notified Steam Support of all the info I had, and I'm posting the same info here. Let me know if I can do anything else to help.
    Possible information regarding the hijacking of The DIrector's account

    Recently, I stumbled across a few rare off-level genuine hats in a trade. Too rare. One of a kind, actually. The person was also selling a lot of other items for cheaper than usual prices. These items just happen to be ones that were stolen from the Director's account. http://steamcommunity.com/id/terabyteuk/[/COLOR]

    I'm figuring the items either have to be duped, or stolen. If they were duped, than the person duping them would know they were valuable and wouldn't sell them to me (unless they were just trying to get rid of them quickly). The thing is, once I advertised that I had these valuable items, the guy had his friend try to buy them back from me. So they must not have been duped.
    Here are their accounts:
    http://steamcommunity.com/id/jordanedward This is who sold me the items.
    http://steamcommunity.com/id/reparter This is his friend who tried to buy them back.

    I did a little more digging. Before the date of the hijacking, their accounts were both fairly empty. Around the time of the hijacking (sometime between June 10th and 20th) their accounts went private. This is when I assume the items were all sold (Edward.Norton was selling on tf2tp.com lots of good items for cheap). Then their backpacks came back full of metal and keys and a few of the items still in their backpacks. http://www.tf2items.com/id/jordanedward?time=1340487265 (Notice the one-of-a-kind off leveled brain bucket suddenly in his bp.)

    Here I'm posting the chatlog with Edward.Norton's friend Igor.Hopkins where he tries to buy back the items from me (I lied and said I sold them) and then admits that they are one of a kind.
    igor.hopkins: hi
    Only_A_Lad: Yes?
    igor.hopkins: i am interestedn in some genuines
    Only_A_Lad: Okay, what are you looking for?
    igor.hopkins: brain bucket
    igor.hopkins: how much?
    igor.hopkins: and geisha
    Only_A_Lad: how much you offering?[/COLOR]
    igor.hopkins: 2 keys each
    igor.hopkins: or how much you want for samur, geisha, dread, and bucket ?
    igor.hopkins: just tell price i offer 2 keys for each
    Only_A_Lad: Sorry, I sold those
    igor.hopkins: no
    igor.hopkins: for how much?
    Only_A_Lad: For an Ebenezer
    igor.hopkins: too low i offer keys
    igor.hopkins: each of this items cost from 5 to 10 buds
    igor.hopkins: its non standart levels
    Only_A_Lad: I already sold them, sorry
    igor.hopkins: only 1 in game
    Only_A_Lad: No, they aren't
    igor.hopkins: sry dude you was pwned
    igor.hopkins: cheack here
    igor.hopkins: http://stats.teamfortress.org/item/358/The_Dread_Knot
    igor.hopkins: level 5
    igor.hopkins: only 1 in hole game
    Only_A_Lad: Yeah, so mine must be duped, since the Director has them
    Only_A_Lad: So, if I got screwed over, then why did your friend Edward sell them to me for so cheap?
    igor.hopkins: i dont know that he have them
    igor.hopkins: only get few minutes ago
    igor.hopkins: he tell me
    Only_A_Lad: How did you find out he had them?
    igor.hopkins: he told thet selling genuine items i started to ask which items
    igor.hopkins: then he tell me that this bucket he sold to you
    igor.hopkins: that how i find you
    Only_A_Lad: He remembered what the level was, even though he didn't notice it when he sold them?
    igor.hopkins: no i asked him to check levels he noob but lucky noob he dont even know how much that items cost
    Only_A_Lad: If he's such a noob, where did he even get all those items?
    Only_A_Lad: Sucks, now somebody else has them
    igor.hopkins: dont know but i have played with him in 1 team i can tell that he now where to find
    Only_A_Lad: Well, that sucks for you friend if they're worth that many buds. I sent the guy I sold them to a chat, but he won't sell them back to me
    igor.hopkins: yes they all cost a tons
    Only_A_Lad: Were any other of the items he sold off level?
    igor.hopkins: all already bought that another guy
    Only_A_Lad: I can tell you who I sold them to, maybe you can get them back from him
    igor.hopkins: no he added me vos i have noh mercy now offering some shitty items for it

    If you want any more information from me, I'd be glad to be of any help I can. Thanks for your time.

    This is a pretty high profile case, I figured everyone would be interested in this. I guess I was wrong. Thanks for at least acknowledging that I posted.

    It is worked on in the background, as such not all is posted here. We established contact with the owner of the account, and are working with him. Its just that I dont have much time atm.

    This case has been mostly in the background, as we pulled some strings we cannot discuss.
