Thanks, that's what I thought.  The accidental recipient is an exchange, so I sent a request to route the coins into the proper wallet.  Hopefully they'll help me out.

<p>If you were to send BTC accidentally to a BCC address then would the funds have been sent to the same private key on the BTC blockchain?  Would the owner of the BCC key be able to retrieve those coins in a BTC wallet?</p>

If you were to send BTC accidentally to a BCC address then would the funds have been sent to the same private key on the BTC blockchain? Would the owner of the BCC key be able to retrieve those coins in a BTC wallet?
