From what I read, Mahin stopped sending Alexander money as soon as he found out that the Bitcoins were stolen.
He stopped laundering as soon as he found out. Not sure what happened to the $100,000 though.

you can stop a suspicious person from trading and using your services, but you cannot simply forfeit $100,000 (equivalent in BTC) belonging to that person, just because there is no regulation and you 'suspect' the bitcoins to be stolen. where was the evidence? did you read the kind of responses (or lack thereof) given to Alexander by Ken/Mahin?
its quite clear that they didn't stop laundering, they just stopped laundering for Alexander...
I think he'd probably have given them back to Bitcoinica. (Not sure, though.)
now that's what i call wishful thinking!
once again, who knows whats going on behind the scenes at ZebPay. The evidence is clear for everyone to read. It would be interesting if a crypto-journalist picked up on it and wrote a story. It would be even more interesting if ZebPay was investigated by EOW. And it would be most interesting if Mahin was investigated by Income Tax (last 10 years). Ofcourse, this is all now wishful thinking on my part, but it pales in comparison to your wishful thinking above!
