东京警察局星期三说，他们已经发起了一项正式调查，关于从破产的交易所Mt.Gox消失的比特币。
当Mt.Gox在二月破产，东京交易所声明，由于黑客攻击，丢失了85万个比特币，价值5亿美元。公司的首席执行官马克卡普3月份说，他已经提交文件给警方，请求调查此事。
“我们决定发起一项调查，因为我们得出的结论是这个案子可能与犯罪活动有关。”警察局的一位发言人说。
警方说，他们怀疑2万7千个比特币通过非法计算机接入被取走。
本周早些时候，法庭指定的Mt.Gox破产案件的受托人说，他延长了提交调查结果报告的期限，从五月延至十一月。受托人已表示，由于这个案子的独特性质，将采取“相当多的时间”来完成调查。

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department said Wednesday that it has launched a formal investigation into the disappearance of bitcoins from defunct exchange Mt. Gox.
When it collapsed in February, the Tokyo-based exchange said it lost 850,000 bitcoins, worth half a billion dollars, due to hacking attacks. The company’s chief executive Mark Karpelès said in March that it submitted documents to police and requested that the matter be investigated.
“We decided to launch an investigation as we concluded this case could be connected to criminal activity,” a spokesman for the police department said.
The police say they suspect 27,000 bitcoins were withdrawn through illegal computer access.
Earlier this week, the court-appointed trustee for the Mt. Gox bankruptcy case said he has extended his deadline to submit an outcome report of his investigation to May from November. The trustee has been saying it would take “a considerable amount of time” to finish the investigation due to the unique nature of the case.
