How many bitcoin did they manage to recover? The asset they hold able to repay how many percentage of the total liability?

+ frappuccinos

Has filing even opened yet? I haven't found anything about it.

How can I file a claim? I mean could I even get them back?

Did you file a claim?
There are probably thousands of people with small Gox balances and many might not bother to go through the process.

I hadnt used mt gox since bitcoins were with $30... I still had about .3 in my account. But I suppose that they are long gone... it would be nice to get back those .3 now 

Well that doesn't sound fair, but maybe it's better than getting almost nothing from the bankruptcy case?

Before the press conference broadcast on Japanese TV he said he "doesn't currently have control" of the coins (or something very similar), which had many people thinking they can be recovered.

If Karpeles was the one who controlled all the private keys then I highly doubt that the Tokyo police are going to get any BTC back. Unless he gets formally charged and then cuts a deal and confesses that he still controls all the coins.

In the press conference broadcast on Japanese TV, did Kareples specifically say that all of the BTC was stolen? Has he been quoted saying that at all?

Him happening to find the 200k Bitcoins as soon as people started looking at the blockchin is so suspicious though isn't it.

I remember when gox BTC was like 900 bucks when market value was 800 and I logged on one day and seen that MtGox coins were going for $190. I was tempted to transfer some $$ to the account and hope that it will ride out through the rough and come out with 5 BTC for less than $1,000. To this day I am so glad I never done it.

People don't forget that the new deadline for filing your claim to gox assets is end of May 2015 and not November 2014

On the subject of claims, I was just reading all over the net that the tokyo police did confirm the illegal removal of only 27000 coins from mtgox.
They also confirmed that they will be investigating what happened to the other 600000 or so.

According to one site, the tokyo police were hinting of the possibility of recovering 544000 coins. Well whatever the outcome is, I for one find it rather strange that 650000 coins could have been illegally removed without management catching on that theft was taking place, unless they did not need to worry because no theft was actually taking place on such a large scale.

Should the police manage to recover a substantial amount of coins, I wonder what the outcome would be if creditors settle for a deal before it is recovered. I'm sure we all would like to see any further coins that are thereafter recovered, be returned to gox's creditors.

What would the price of each coin be if it is recovered? Guess Satoshi knows

Lets wait and see

All Bitcoin owners should be encouraged to click on potentially 'highly suspicious' links. 

Tokyo police investigation says that only 27000 bitcoin was stolen from mtgox.
Is this true?

Is this site a scammer?

Thanks for the info from the creditors' meeting. But I would like to comment on your question.

This loss has absolutely nothing to do with bitcoin, and has everything to do with entrusting irresponsible parties with vast sums of money.

Sometimes the truth (mixed with a bit of parody) is more amazing than any fiction story.

Hi People,
Now that the first long awaited creditors meeting is over, we have a few things to think about.

During this long wait, lots of money (hard cash) was used to sort out expenses relating to mtgox.If one has to look at the costs that were involved, it makes one wonder how such costs would eventually add slowly slowly to the drain of whatever assets are left of mtgox by the time we have the next creditors meeting which is far ahead in November.

By the time that comes i suppose we will have another set of expenses to look at maybe?
Should it not be the liquidators top priority to round up all assets and look for a suitable bidder to take over gox?
Should there have been greater clarity with regard to the ongoing investigation on the stolen coins?
Should the company doing the investigation have had mtgox members or possibly an oversight team to work with the investigation team?
Can't all the major creditors (coin holders, cash holders) ask for the process to be speeded up?
How can we tell if some coins could possibly have been already recovered but not publicly reported because no details of the investigation have been made public?
Where or how could the BITCOIN FOUNDATION could have helped in this whole mess? Did they?
How does bitcoin keep the title of being a fair currency, if we now have 650000 coins in the hands of stupid idiots? I say stupid because they have done more damage to themselves than they think. I say fair because people will always remember that some selfish people got bitcoins the illegal way. People will always feel cheated.

Though the amount stolen is just a fraction of the total, it has done bitcoin damage, agree?
Why do well known companies still adopt bitcoin? Did they research the more effecient coins?
Is there not a better currency to adopt out there?
Are these companies just trying to jump onto the bandwagon before getting left behind?
Good companies will not support a coin that already has 650000 sitting in the hands of criminals, right? Or are they good companies?
Am i not right in saying that, other coins had a more fair distribution, did not have a huge chunk end up in criminal hands, is more easy to maintain in terms of cost, is also just as secure from hackers, has more features to offer, has a fast growing user base, has a growing developer base, has better coin foundation rules, gives all foundation members equal voting rights, does not require expensive foundation fees, has a dedcicated security and support team, and last but not least allows 650000 coins to disappear and not have a FUCKING!!! backup plan. After all if we are to expect it to be the coin of the future and to be used as a means of everyday exchange, surely there must be measures to protect people when they have coins stolen from them. Peoples lives will get turned upside down if this is to be the coin of the future.

Now how many will come to adopt bitcoin if this goes on?
In simple terms, developers out there who are working on their coins let us try to come up with something better for the people of the world. The world needs it

To all creditors -
Anyone attending the mtgox creditors meeting?
Well if you are then as a creditor you should opt to take the best deal that anyone has to offer and not just what the liquidator is trying to put through.

You should consider the deal that Bitocean and others are offering. Creditors must gain the max benefit from the loss that they have suffered

Remember, support the return of creditors bitcoins.

Good luck to all going to the meeting and have a safe journey.

you dont get even one satoshi from there because Mark already bought alot of pizza with it.
