You think i will get back my withdrawal 100% ? And what about the BTC.

Any answer you get on here is going to be pure speculation by people who have no direct involvement or experience with the Japanese legal systems.

Nobody knows how this is going to play out.  No matter how much you want someone to tell you that you might recover some funds, anyone who tells you that is just telling you want you want to hear.  There's simply not enough information available for people to make educated guesses right now and there are many factors which could change the possibilities.

Also, there should now be a court-appointed supervisor overseeing Mt. Gox's activities. Who are they? How do you contact them?

I'm inferring from the MtGox announcement that there is a supervisor.  The announcement specifically states that customers should direct their questions to the call centre rather than the supervisor/investigator.  

The quickest way to get information about the supervisor is probably to contact one of the journalists who has been covering this.  It will be a matter of public record and organisations like the WSJ will probably get their hands on the filings quickly.  I'd just keep tweeting the various outlets which have been covering this.  One of them is likely to publish the filings sooner rather than later and it's probably going to be a quicker way of getting the information than retaining a Japanese lawyer to get it for you.

Also Nagle, do you have any information on payment for supervisors/trustees under the Japanese system?  I didn't really look into that in any depth so I'm unclear about whether the company is billed for their services (and the services of those assisting them) at an hourly rate as is the case here.

The supervisors are private lawyers but appointed by the court in regard to the case.
So they are paid by the court and they are completely neutral.

so what do you suggest as we have a bunch of btc stuck in there?

If some lawyer would answer this question or would imply there are some hopeful solutions, that must be lie or he doesn't really know the problem of this case.

In this case, at least now, only we can do is to wait for the letter from the law firm of mtgox's, sadly. This letter is for creditor's report which we will send back to the court. They announced that if you will not receive that, call the call center by yourselves.
Usually, then they will invite us a creditor's meeting to explain the situation, their plan, etc., but in this case, they said they have no idea at all when they will be able to have the meeting.

Anyway, there is no way to be redeemed sooner than others nor more than others because we creditors are all equal under this procedure by law even if we sue them outside Japanese jurisdiction.

We can only wait and see for a while....My hundreds of btc is also stuck in there.

Whether Mt Gox depositors are secured creditors is a very important legal question. Given Mt. Gox's terms of service and the Japan Payment Services Act, they probably are. That's a key issue. Does anyone have a lawyer working on that?

Not secured.
Mt.Gox nor their service isn't covered by any Japanese payment/finance related acts.
I'm a lawyer in Japan.

I think it's a nice idea but the price is low, too.
Anyway, good luck.
