Do they not have to split up all the BTC between everyone gox owes BTC too...?

As already discussed here many times, unfortunately that is not going to happen. As a part of the liquidation process, the authorities will auction off the remaining Gox coins and convert them to fiat.

There is no real precedent to liquidating bitcoin (or other electronic currency) in a bk proceeding. It appears that the law would probably have the coins be sold, but it would not be too much of a stretch to say a new precedent could be formed.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Unless someone outright buys Gox they are going to liquidate.
