I have just seen a legal remedy at
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=476535.0I have some issues with this approach:
a) It seems the law suit would be to recover MtGoxFiat only and not MtGoxBTC.
b) The minimum cash account to join the "Multi-plaintiff Suit" is USD 10,000.
This excludes small investors and those who wish to retain MtGoxBTC.
c) Those who join have little or no control over the strategy and actions taken. I think my proposal is more transparent.
Why hide the name of the lawyer?
d) The suit will effectively drive down the price of MtGoxBTC which is unfair to BTC holders.
Still, the thread has clarified that class-action suits are not recognized in Japan, which is why they call it a "Multi-plaintiff Suit."
If there is anything I have misunderstood, please correct me.
