Bitcoin sent, never went through #70

Hi I tried to deposit money to a bitcoin address on a website. I sent the amount to the address given, but the address only works for 15 minutes. The transaction expired, but the site still says the bitcoins went through (hash: de168c302faa6d22d4ac77e24758309fdd5d16a31330eb38ba000c94be101fb0). I contacted the website and they seem to think my "wallet provider" is holding the coins as a result of the transaction expiring. I trust the site and have used it before, not sure what the problem is. Could you guys have the coins? Thanks

@thecapmamba First, A bitcoin address can never truly expire, so when a website generates an address for you to send coins to, it just means that when the (sometimes) imposed time limit passes, the web server stops looking for coins sent to the address. Based on the TXID provided, the coins were successfully sent to three addresses. So the address the website gave you, received the coins you send, however they might have discarded the Private Key to access the address they gave you after the fifteen minutes expired. This might mean those coins are lost.

Second, a JavaScript wallet-generator like Coinb.in has absolutely NO record of your coins or Private Keys, so they cannot "hold" or prevent you from spending your coins.

Hope you can resolve your issue...
