MtGox reclaim procedure?

[william_]

Were instructions for the reclaim procedure ever posted?  I had a little in mtgox as well, and would like to file if it's not too late / they will let us.  I don't see any form or instructions for filing a claim, but I may simply have missed it.

Not until now. Don't worry, you have missed nothing yet. They have sent a postcard to the creditors. You can subscribe to the gox-self-help list to stay up to date:

Thanks for the updates!  I never got a postcard, but I wasn't a major trader / investor / creditor anyway, so perhaps there was some threshold.  I've subscribed to the newsletter; thanks again.

Apparently Tibanne managed to reclaim 200K USD from Mtgox, perhaps contacting Tibanne and asking them what the secret to recover funds from MtGox is would yield some light on the issue!!!

I got a mail from Tokyo courts... some kind of pamphlet but not sure what it means.  Says something about Mark karpeles going bankrupt and didn't say too much else.

Karpeles has been ready to sale the domain "bitcoins.com", does the legend of MtGox will continue?

Is there still not any reclaim forms or any action we should take yet?

Claims are not being collected yet.  As I understand it, the trustee is still figuring out what clients an claim and how he is going to validate the claims.  He has until May 2015 to collect the claims and until September 2015 to validate them.

The US exchange Kraken, though its Japan subsidiary, has just closed a contract with the trustee to help with the whole bankruptcy process, although it is not yet clear how exactly.   The trustee says that maybe the victims will be able to submit claims by online forms (instead of the usual paper mail), in which case Kraken may host and collect said forms.

There are new documents at the site www.mtgox.com with more details (they are in Japanese but have an English translation at the end).
