This will be the offical thread for the potential upcoming litigation proceedings against the Bitcoinica Parties.
If you have been adversely affected by bitcoinica due to their potentially criminal negligence, please post here and email me any information you can provide, I will be going to see my
lawyer about our case tomorrow and I could use all the information regarding our legal position for a case.
(for reference, I lost 5000 USD from bitcoinica, so I have considerable stake in this case).
EDIT: If you would be interested in jioning the bitconica litigation skype meeting, please email/pm your skype name.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Lawyers are going to be very expensive and what if the "investors" don't have any money to make you whole?

Thats what I plan to find out, and to find who can be considered criminally liable for the latest hack. |

I only had $500 plus my position, but I would like to see these people brought to justice before they strike again.

The tragedy of this route is that on the one hand it's the only active route that bitcoinica users can pursue at this point, but on the other hand I think it reduces the odds of anyone getting anything back. |
Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

Genjix stated multiple times, that Patrick and/or Donald where the one that did constantly delay the payout. Maybe this process can now be faster, since at least Patrick is gone. So hopefully genjix assumes that he is now authorized to do the actual payouts and does it without further delay. |

Tihan and Zhou both specifically told Patrick and Donald to refund my 24,841 bitcoins, but Donald and Patrick both refused. One day after legal action was threatened, they announced this hack. Cause, or coincidence? |

Zhou is the only one of my knowledge that is absolved of responsibility due to his sale of the site, everyone else will be a target as well as the compnay they are a member of, I am antipicating personal and corporate bankraupcy by all parties if we continue. |

Holy shit! That was painful to even just read! |
Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

some of us have interesting things that might be of use but we don't want to pass it out to people who are not lawyers representing us.
