Hope we can get our coins back soon.

Ukyo, this was asked already, sometimes more harshly, but could you please not ignore and actually answer this simple question.
How come you can't even provide us with a deadline for the next announcement about how the recovery is doing? I'm trying to imagine all possible scenarios, with lawyers sending other lawyers friendly letters of some sorts, etc., but at any rate, you must be waiting for something, with either a positive, neutral or negative out come, but there has got to be some damn thing that you are waiting for and you won't wait for it forever will you?
Example:
"I expect the current phase of the process to be completed no later than in 1/2/3/4/5/6/12/18/24/36/48/more? months, and then I will be able to tell you how much more coins have been recovered, if any"
How hard is this to answer even if you are under the most crazy NDA of all time? Please educate us. Thanks.
The 'legal reason' he can't tell us what happened is because if he told us, we'd be able to use that information against him in court. There is no known NDA or government info lock down that could possibly prevent him from telling us what happened to the coins, that just is not feasible. Government agents are not going to swoop and demand that he not allow people to withdraw the money they deposited, at the same time not allowing the owner to tell people that the government is involved.
If you believe that there is some sort of NDA or entity preventing from telling us anything, why would Jon hope to sell his Active Mining shares to give partial refunds to users? That makes just about 0 sense. It would have to be public knowledge if the exchange was shut down by the government. And if it was a private NDA, how could that possibly be valid that he holds millions of dollars of BTC and then not be able to tell anyone about what happened to them? Like really. Why would any NDA from a company exist that would lead directly to legal actions from hundreds of users that had coins stolen? Can you think of one reason? Can you really believe that?
Note this is my best guess. And since Ukyo is not saying anything, this is all we have. Just look at the facts and make your own judgements.
