If I remember correctly (those are dark memories..), at that point there was a backwards fork, completely invalidating the transactions on that exchange.
With that in mind, you shouldn't be able to see that on the current blockchain - since in that future, it never happened
It could be however that some coins are still in the wallets of the exchange - if they even have that wallet still on file. There are some addresses close to that period that didn't have any transactions or haven't minted since that time. Three of them only have 1 transaction.
It might be interesting chatting with them - not sure how they'll respond though
I believe that these hard fork coins disappeared from the wallets (by standard block chain reorganization mechanisms) but not from the
database from the exchange(s), thus the difference:
Mintpal wallet: 14946903.112935999408 FAIR
Mintpal database: 21787698.41457512 FAIR
No way Ryan took them: there are simply no such transactions that would debit such an amount.
So, I suspect it was either a bug in the exchange software or they just didn't resolve the issue intentionally or unintentionally...
If I were right, Mintpal would have increased the money supply of FairCoin by 6840795,301639121. These coins were traded, but did never every exist.
My personal opinion is that there is nothing more to recover, because we can not recover what has never existed. These are 'ghost coins'.

This was an event even before the Mintpal mayhem - not talking about Ryan here:) This occured on NXT-e with a probable fake fork of FairCoin. So their database + wallet got totally mixed up. My assumption is that they left FairCoin for dead after that, eventhough they still may have a FairCoin wallet.dat somewhere - or not..
edit, or this:
- April 7 ntx-e.com close withdrawals, they claim that destroyed their faircoin wallet and there are not more information.
How they really solve their problem is yet an enigma
