I was unable to find this exact information, but I suppose the answer is yes  Angry
If he wouldn't I'm sure that exchange owner would comfort his customers that their bitcoins are safe which he didn't  Undecided

Well that's unfortunate to hear. I hope the authorities solve the mess for the others as soon as possible.
