According to "FINAL Proposed Default Judment and Final Order", "the thing" has assets in cryptocurrency with today value of more than 3million$ (not valuated at this price in the documents).

"Coingather" seems the same fiasco as other exchange settlements where clients (potential claimants) can not check the balance, after years, before formal claim.
Like Cryptopia (NZ), Cryptsy due to database erase (USA),..., In the other hand Mtgox (Japan) where the claim process was performed online due to foreigner users.

We can read in "ECF 141 Declaration in Support":
Quote
7.
 Based on the direct notice and the notice by publication, the time to
file a claim for the Defendants in rem has expired. Outside of those individuals
whose claims have been stricken or that the government anticipates will be
resolved by stipulated judgment in the near future, none of the potential claimants
have filed a Claim for the Defendants in rem, or an Answer or other responsive
motion to the Complaint
, or otherwise defended against the above-entitled action
within the time required by the Supplemental Rules.

Turns out the FBI thing is for real.  Shocked

Did coingather transact in USD or any other fiat?

March 15, 2018

Hey Coingather
I don't care your lost , stolen assets or hack .

Just share your coingather database to
HTMLCOIN foundation
They already frozen htmlcoin wallet what you hodl
Far batter
Pm then
With

[email protected]

So those owners who trap in CG 
Get their assets back



Thanks for this important info, and hats off to the team at HTMLcoin. I really do wish other dev teams work this fail safe mechanism into their various chains. Its not enough, on the long run, to be merely 'decentralize' if safety can't be guaranteed (or enforced when the need arises) on your platform.
I learnt NEM did something similar in the wake of the hack that happened recently at a Korean exchange.

Also, saw this on Twitter. No idea if it's legit or trolling.

Update CoinGather was shut down by the FBI a few weeks ago. The owner wasn't hacked or didn't run off with all the coins. He was shutdown because of some licensing issue and is likely silent because of legal concerns. I drove to CSIP (his employment) and this is what I was told.

I don't think It's true... unfortunately.
In this case, some official information should appear or anything

I also won't believe it. I wonder what will FBI do with those funds if ever they closed the exchange. FBI should return it to its owners? I think the operator of CoinGather should be filed a case. This is crazy.

I don't have anything to add other than to repeat my request for people to post txids of withdrawals around the time that the exchange disappeared.

That way we can find the hot wallet and see if customer funds have been moved since then.
What time frame from their shutdown can you work with?

Sorry, I missed this message. I guess anything is a start, although the older the transaction (or rather, the further away it is from the close date) the more likely it is that the funds will have been reused (legitimately) for other customer's withdrawals, and their transactions etc.

Any news regarding this case? Official confirmation? FBI announcement or such?
Long time passed already, and still nothing...

An exchange just disappears, just like that?

Has anyone tried to trace the biggies (eg BTC, LTC, DOGE) with a block explorer to figure out the hot wallet addresses, to see if any funds have moved since the exchange went offline?

If you deposited or withdrew funds around the time the website died, post a link to the tx in an explorer and we'll see if we can figure it out.
