We could start an online petition to encourage MtGox to solve this.
I'm thinking a steady stream of blog posts, coindesk articles, and other news sources could put pressure on them to act.
good idea. do you / anyone know who writes for coindesk? with all the negative about mt gox i am even unsure if it will matter to them anymore. but if you write that they are withholding 51MM dollars, that may make it a much more interesting headline.
On our end, I will talk with the team about writing it on http://coinconsultancy.com/
In the meanwhile, I tweeted:https://twitter.com/BitcoinAnalyst |

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Keep high lighting gox is doing it cuz they lost millions cuz they were working with silk road, i mean cuz protecting our privacy. Didnt Mt Gox also work with Zhou Tong before he was 18 to start this whole mess?  ? Could be an interesting addition to the article as well. |

I emailed Coindesk. Another interesting tidbit is that the owners of Bitcoinica could be rewarded with $40-$50 million for incompetence and driving the company into liquidation (if they recover all the money, but only pay out $9/BTC).

MtGox is withholding 51M$ in funds?? is this money from private people or corporations? how does this not impact mtgox "reputation"? brilliant. As Max Keiser stressed on a recently televised Keiser Report, “I support Zhou Tong — he could be a worthy adversary for Jamie Dimon or Lloyd Blankfein Q: What have you learned during the brief life of Bitcoinica?
a. Customer service is important. http://coinabul.tumblr.com/post/24022841613/10qs-zhou-tong-bitcoinica |

But yes, they are essentially sitting on all our money, for our "privacy." Still have not figured out what that means yet, especially when we have the actual liquidators backing. My guess is that PKF is not really doing their part, and they are happy to keep eating at money until the $100,000 well runs dry. After that, they will decide to actually pursue Mt Cox, instead of just writing love letters. Which, by the way, should have probably happened already 1 year ago. |

Do we know how many bitcoins are in the $1.5 million outstanding claim? It would be interesting to know this number in relation to how many bitcoins mtgox is holding for mtgox customers. If we could get organized around this and come up with a plan, perhaps we could bypass the liquidation company all together since they are very obviously only trying to screw us all. Thank god mtgox hasn't released the funds to them.

If you go back to the statement I think it is like 60k BTC or something wild like that. |

I don't know if this number is available in the liquidator reports. They convert btc into US dollars and then lump them in with owed USD.
The liquidator says MtGox has 64,000 BTC. But it doesn't say how that compares to claimed BTC. Presumably it is less.

Try sending a message to coindesk. I did, I think someone else did as well. Perhaps they will start to roll with it.
Otherwise, it looks like we are waiting till PKF decides to use up all available cash to start to pursue gox.

I'm not so sure that will happen. If Gox keeps telling them to fuck off PKF might come back to us saying well, we tried but ran out of money. Too bad so sad... Get paid $100,000 to do close to absolutely nothing and be able to wash your hands clean when done. Should have went to law school instead. |

SoOoOoOoOoOo.. are we ever going to see our money and coins?
Doesn't this lawyer have a fiduciary responsibility or something to make this happen before gox disappears into the japanese night?

Do you really think we of all people in line will see any of our coins back from Gox?! It's obvious Gox doesn't even have the coins anymore to handle regular business / withdrawals. Sorry to ruin the hope once again, but I just don't believe in fairy tales.

Shouldn't we be like in the front of the queue because this shit has been going on for about 2 years now? |

Well I guess where out of luck no hope of getting any coins back. I figured there was very little hope along time ago and already written it off as a loss but now there is 0 hope and the best part is "NO ONE GOES TO JAIL".

 A sad day for the bitcoinica clients. The gox clients should partially blame themselves. They could have left the exchanges for more than a year, and even a few days ago, get 60% back through bitcoinbuilder. But you guys, you are just stuck... I read the bitcoinica story in 2012 when I first went into BTC. And the fact that it is still not solved, is just fucked up. All attention will go to gox, and you will be ignored |
