Your money is currently "invested" in the 5C trust fund: champagne, caviar, cars, coke and courtesans.

There's no harm in waiting as long as you're doing something else with your life at the same time. The money is *gone* and barring personally going to try and get the money back from the people you know personally to be responsible- that's about all you can get. :-(

Waiting in hopes of funds returning doesn't make you an idiot.
Putting trust in BTC sites and people is why your an idiot.

You didn't look very hard for updates.  The first hearing before the High Court of NZ is happening a week from today.

Quote from: Tihan
Bitcoinica's investors have been forced to file an action with the High Court of New Zealand. A hearing has been scheduled for Nov 1.

It is likely that this must be the first of several hearings, separated by weeks or months. Unfortunately there is little that can be done to expedite the process without cooperation from Bitcoinica's managing members.

The liquidator's second report to creditors is where you usually start to get a better idea of possible distributions.
