A public plea for help regarding Bitcoinica and my 24,841 BTC

[Bjork]

I hope this turns out as well as it possibly can for you, Roger, and everyone else affected.  Don't give up on BTC though!!

Roger, I have one honest question:

After all of the hacks and stolen bitcoin stories, why would you deposit so much bitcoins with anyone?

I deposited this many Bitcoins because I have spoken with Zhou many times on skype / email about various things.
I also have spoken with Tihan on the phone for close to an hour.
Between the two of them,  I felt safe keeping my money on deposit with them.

While I do feel bad for everyone at Bitcoinica, the fact that they were hacked is not their user's problem.
I still hope that whoever is currently behind Bitcoinca will step up and do the right thing.

I'm truly sorry for Roger
bitcoiners and accounts like these should priority one.

what's going on behind the scenes Tihan,  Zhou,  Patrick, Donald, Amir, or anyone else with access to Bitcoinica money ??

I have an idea who the mysterious Wendon is, but need more time to connect the dots. This was a tough one! I'll leave you with a one word clue: Slice.

~Bruno~

It makes me wonder if the answer to:
1. Secretly buy Bitcoinica (paying enough to pay off Zhou's education and parent's mortgage)
2. ? ? ? ? ? ?
3. Profit

is:

2. Steal user's bitcoins

I think there are reasons to believe that robbing people like Roger was the intent of the Intersango guys when they bought Bitcoinica.

Say I got a tin foil hat if you want, but the bankers running the current monetary system would surely be trying to siphon away people's bitcoins...and Patrick, Donald, and Amir have ALWAYS come off as tools of the establishment.

Since you give me the option, yes you are wearing a massive pizza-cheese encrusted tin foil hat.

Your leap in logic in astonishing. Is that generally all the evidence you need to form your assumptions?

Im really sorry for you, and i hope you will get your coins back.

@cryptoanarchist we all have our tinfoil hats handy when posting on bitcointalk, and your theory doesn't even need one to believe.

As an advice, always look into posts history of people who bash your statements or attack you personally, we sometimes have 51% of establishments trolls working full time in the community, divide et impera is their goal

Please help me.
I have 24,841 bitcoins on deposit with Bitcoinica.
I have provided them with my full and complete account history including every transaction since day one.
There is no question as to exactly how much I am owed. (I'm happy to provide proof to other trusted entities)
I have patiently been asking for them for my money back for months, but they have refused to return even a single Bitcoin to me.

I'm a core Bitcoin proselytizer.
I'm responsible partly or in full for:

www.Bitinstant.com
www.coinlab.com
www.lovebitcoins.org
www.ogrr.com
www.bitcoinchipin.com
www.memorydealers.com
National Bitcoin radio adds @ $2,800 a month for over the last year.
The Bitcoin Bet.
Bitcoin Billboard
Numerous national radio interviews.
Several more projects that are in the works including a Bitcoin competitor to newegg.com.

For the last 1.5 years I have spent every waking moment promoting Bitcoin,  and my 24,841 Bitcoins were to be used exactly for that.

Hacker, Tihan,  Zhou,  Patrick, Donald, Amir, or anyone else with access to my money,  please return it to
16HMoS4TryH7wWsAv2PtvxiHX8QGXMGczi

so that I can continue to effectively promote Bitcoin.
Returning my funds will likely make everyone's worth even more in the long run.
I promise I will continue using them to help advance Bitcoin.

And in the end, what happened? Bitcoin was worth around $15 in May 2012 at the time of the incident.

Did any investors get any crypto back at all?

Why not try to message out OP? He's online as of this day and might not able to get up some answers on this thread yet the last post were in 2012.
He definitely forgot up this thread for sure. Im quite curious as well on what happened to the funds.Imagine that number of BTC on the current price of the market.
