If someone I don't know has randomly sent me 500 Bitcoins.
Is there a way for him to chargeback? Should I call the cops?

 

[BMF]

THERE IS NO WAY TO CHARGEBACK BITCOINS.
Show video proof or get banned for lying.

EPIC!

So what do you plan to do if it happens to you? Do you simply keep it and not telling anybody, because it anonimity. or you call cops without knowing who the one sent you this BTC.

 

[rubikz]

I would keep it and go on a shopping spree and won't tell a soul how I got it.

 

[komrad]

gotcha!

500 is almost 2 million dollars, will transfer it to multiple Bitcoin wallets to lose track and will change it to fiat money and move to a new country with entire family where nobody knows me.

when you send bitcoin to someone, you will have to copy-paste address in the sending window.
So probability to do a mistake after you have copy-paste an adress is lower than 0.1% or 1 man from 1000 might make a mistake by let's say copy-paste without the last letter/number from the address and might need to remember it iif the source is not available anymore .
Better i would say that probability to send bitcoin to a wrong address is less than 0.001% .
However in the bitcoin history there were some "fatal errors" when the sender didn't knew how to set correctly the fee and spent 5 BTC on the fees or most recent case when someone has set the fee wrong and set 89 BTC (!!!!!) or so, by mistake, for the fee. The chinese mining company who processed that transaction has voted to return the bitcoins to the sender. I don't know if the vote has been also applied.

Another case, a malware ( i think a virus from mining with your computer downloaded software) has been reported that can steal bitcoins by using copy-paste windows feature and changing the address from copy-paste feature. So if you send bitcoin but you don't check and recheck the address you might end up sending bitcoin to the attacker's address. But this not sending to a wrong address but to a specific one.

If however you would find an extra 5 BTC to your wallet and this amount is not donation or gift from someone you know, it is very likely the sender has sent on purpose money to hide/split amount if he did something illegal and it is very possible that the sender to recover later the money if he got your private key (access to your wallet).

you need to use a bitcoin mixer website and you will need to hurry up because mixers starts to be regulated or hunted down by govs Already a big mixing website has shut down for "the sake of the legal bitcoin image" , claimed the admin.
Some mixing websites if not all, have set a 24 hour life for generated addresses or transactions . After 24 hours everything is deleted from database.

Always governments want to control everything to know everything, not gonna happen with Bitcoin, it's simply uncontrollable.

In fact i am agree with shutting down the mixers because such websites encourage the criminals to hide bitcoins obtained illegally from : HYIP scams, terrorist financing, human or organ trafficking , hacking and blackmails, etc.
Mixers are damaging very badly the image of the bitcoin ,that's why many governments/central banks are considering bitcoin fraud money.

Who is to be blamed?
The HYIP owner or the stupid investor who already knows it's just a PONZI scheme and will run with the money.

OMG, i laughed so hard, plannings

yes but shutting down mixers will give less chances for the scammers to keep running websites and keep scamming people because it will become more risky for them in the future without a mixing website.
Already an exchange website has received instructions from government to alert if someone is trading/selling very high amounts in bitcoin and not only for the tax paying part but to be tracked if the bitcoins are obtained illegally too.
The process of tracking big owners of big amounts (rich people) in bitcoin it is already started.
Bitcoin is not 100% anonymous, but mixers are helping it to become 100%.
Monero is anonymous and for this crypto there is no need of mixers.
According to a research/analysis from European Union (luckily) , the probability that terrorists to use bitcoin for funding, is very low , 2% or even lower, because terrorists are to stupid to use bitcoin, to know how to use it, to know how blockchain works, etc. Same goes, i think for other illegal activities in real life.
So i would say a mixer is used in 98% of the cases by online scammers,hackers, etc.
