OK Thanks
I don't know how far a threat would get me, or who I would threaten.
If they are insolvent or this is a Ponzi collapse, even if they WANTED to return my money to me, they would not be able to.
My understanding is that, physically, there is a location in Tokyo where MtGox has offices. I also saw address for "parent" company Tibanne Company LTD, also in Tokyo.
If you discard insolvency and some real issue getting the funds to me, and assume the literally are stealing money from people, given that legally speaking there is likely no recourse, if I were them, the only concern I would have, other than my own ethics and conscience, would be a bunch of people scattered over the world who lost hard earned money, and some sort of retribution like if one is at the end of ones string one goes to Japan and takes matters into ones own hands? I mean, like street justice?
Like the guy who went postal and shot up Ameritrade.
I would never do that but I really don't see why others would sit crossarmed and do nothing if a substantial sum is stolen from them.
The fact that Gox does not even respond is no help. Maybe its the holidays.
I would like to hope that the money comes to me, but from what I have read, there are serious problems, especially sending US Dollars to the US.
I see you say that "eventually it will come"
?
I hope you are right
Thanks for the responses
