Thanks Repentance. I really appreciate your continued support and insight in this affair! I also have not received any response yet from the Liquidator.
As to the creditor report & claim form. Is this typically sent to creditors by regular mail? Or might they send it by email as well?
I'm asking since I recently moved and am unable to update my records with Bitcoinica (for obvious reasons).
It depends on the liquidator. Some set up an online claims process and some don't - I'd be a little surprised if they didn't in this case because the window for lodging claims is often quite short and nobody's going to want to deal with the headaches of lost or delayed snail mail. Very often reports to creditors are made by email these days, but I'm pretty sure that you can elect to receive them by snail mail.
I admit that I'm very curious to see who waives their claims in liquidation and to what extent - it will have a significant impact on the funds which will be available to the liquidator for distribution to unsecured creditors.
It's probably worth pointing out that although some liquidators ask for proof of claim to be submitted with the claim, the claims aren't generally formally validated until the liquidator is ready to make disbursements. This is to save on liquidator fees.
Also, perhaps you could email Taslim back and advise him to ask the mods to be whitelisted. He won't be able to post outside Newbies otherwise.
Also, can I suggest copying your post with the liquidator's reply into a new thread with an attention-grabbing title which makes clear that the liquidator is seeking contact from Bitcoinica users (maybe "Bitcoinica liquidator wants to hear from users" or something similar). People have become jaded by these old threads going nowhere so they might not check them for updates.
