Procedure:

2. The service sends a confirmation email to the specified email address.

Rules:

* Each pair of Bitcoin address and hashed email address is unique in the database.

There is no way to know whether an output belongs to Gox, or someone they gave money to (possibly a long time ago). Voting on whether you think an address belongs to Gox is a bit like voting on whether a dice will roll a certain number. Multiple guesses that have no basis don't add anything more than one guess without a basis.
