Has anyone else been contacted about a Bitcoinica lawsuit?

[Elwar]

I have been contacted by a few people claiming to be lawyers in the case of Bitcoinica. They tell me to give them information and proof of claim but these are just random people on the Internet asking for information.

Has anyone else had any contact? I lost some BTC on that exchange way back in the day.

Based on me I have no ideas, and is very technical that someone foreign will contact unknown person me to review my necessary informations, I think it's abnormal and insecurities to me to render a vital information to untrust being. Op remember that should be another means scammers of getting details from their clients and immediately such privilege are given to them, it's ninety nine percent, 99% sure their is easy access to penetrate to the  security documents of user.

Bitcoinica was indeed way back in the day, they were hacked twice
back in 2012 and entered into liquidation.

There doesnt seem to be any news or updates in relation to Bitcoinica

Here is a thread on the forum from 2012
[ANN] Bitcoinica Consultancy abandons customers. Bitcoinica to enter Liquidation

There is a high probability that its scammers who are contacting you
at this stage, especially if it a number of different people claiming
the same thing.

Was it PKF Corporate Recovery & Insolvency in New Zealand who contacted you? If so, it may be legit.

I stumbled across this case recently when looking into outstanding Mt. Gox claims. The stolen Bitcoinica funds were found in an Mt. Gox wallet before Gox went down. PKF has supposedly been trying to recover those funds on behalf of customers through an Mt. Gox claim.

Their website lists this under "recent notable appointments":

Bitcoinica LP: The first Limited Partnership to be put into liquidation by the High Court.

I would contact them directly. Maybe they are contacting claimants in relation to the recent Fortress offer?

Yep, that's them.

I didn't want to hand over my information to them not knowing what they were doing because I figured that if I hand them my proof of claim then if they were just scammers they could take my proof to the real lawsuit.
