A friend was up late, he made a few mistakes last night... Searched for mtgox, instead of type it in to URL Clicked on Google Ad, instead of correct link. Didn't see the difference between mtqcx and mtgox. Didn't have 2 step set authentication set up..

I contacted Mike H. At Google and he quickly took the ad down...

Not sure of other actions he took.
I got him to add two factor today after an expensive lesson

64btc stolen from MTGox acct, sitting here. 12U4EvYfcMQXJD6okRLUWBaaeq8h3GN8X3
Any suggestions on getting it back, or catching the guy?

Now site is down admin never to come back.  There is no chance now.  Phishers use proxy and other to make anonymous the site anyway.  Only way to fight such is with fire to fire.  Phishing site usually poorly made security and easy to hack and install java drive by in admin panel to track real owner but now because site is gone, he get away 100%   You did the responisble way, not everyone like my way. 

Here is whois, but probably fake name

A simple google search would have brought up these guys as frauds. These damn phishing sites pop up quicker then zits on a teenager.

what do you expect them to do about it?

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
