MtGox wallets with thousands of BTC inside

[Vishnu.Reang]

There are a few things to remember here.

1. The Mt Gox robbery was not committed in a day or two. It started sometime during 2011 and went on for at least two years. By the time it was detected (by early 2014), the thieves had stolen at least BTC650,000. According to the FBI, most of these coins were laundered using BTC-e.

2. The initial estimate of loss was BTC850,000. However, BTC200,000 were recovered from "forgotten" wallets within the next few days.

So if you ask me, I believe that there may be some more "forgotten" wallets holding the original coins from Mt Gox. But the big question is whether these coins can be recovered or not.

But as listed in the OP, the following MtGox wallets have funds in them so who is controlling them? They should be used to cover investor losses but the funds just sit there...

Fraud I guess?

Somebody has access to those wallets. Who could it be?

This thread deserved a bump just for the sake of asking whether there were any updates to anything the authorities might have discovered recently about MtGox and those missing millions of USD$ ?
