I fear the youngster doth protest ever much, only to find his story run out of rope, leaving only the means to hang himself therefrom. Pinocchio has sung his last swan song, the going has gotten weird, and the weird are taking control.

I suspect that with this latest round of revelations he won't be a free man (or child) for very long. Too bad, so sad. Seems the bad seed in this whole story was the criminal behind the whole scam in the first place.
I just clicked the link in the post above yours, LG. Going to read the thread now. At the moment, I'll say the following: Surely not! Really!

You should really keep the funds for when the intersango guys try to sue you:(
This is not your fault.
This is not your fault.
They can't sue him - he is a child.
...
He's been 17 for going on a year now it seems to me. My hunch is that he won't be sued for other reasons though.

Damn missed out, thats what I get for partying and drinking all weekend... 
Thanks anyway to Zhou for trying to help. I didn't get to file a claim, but the ~125 BTC I am still owed by bitcoinica isn't very much compared to everyone else's losses and I've already received 50% from them.

zhoutong, this is an unbelievable act of kindness.
I can't imagine anyone else basically giving away $40k without having to. Thank you for this, and don't let others get you down. You are a class act.

Sorry if this offends anyone but quit whining, I don't think you're grasping the fact that he had no responsibility to do this, he just gave out 5000btc from his own pocket. Let me know about the last time you gave out almost $40,000 to complete strangers and you can continue.
Thanks.
We're not complete stranger, if the intent was to give 5000btc in proportional relief to his past affected customers, I think it is unfortunate if it end up having affected people feel unfavorably treated once again.Thanks.
Ps : Your comment did offend me.
I read your story and you are indeed unfortunate.
However, there was no record of you activating the claim, therefore your claim was not considered in the total. Everything has been done automatically and I'm sure that there weren't any manual errors or careless mistakes.
I'm sorry that I can't help you. ...
I could understand my comment wasn't taken into consideration if "Everything has been done automatically".
But when reading: "there was no record of you activating the claim" ;
Well, I remember receiving the link shortly after, I remember very well visiting the link and remember even better my reaction when I saw the amount 0.00 owed. I thought "how can he tell us that info already, maybe it's because I didn't use my Bitcoinica email". I couldn't believe you wouldn't read the comments.
I'll forget that 6%, buy wont forget the reason I got served.
Ps : Hope the sympathy you'll receive end up being worth more than 5000kBTC.

I'm sorry that I can't help you. No part of Bitcoinica's money belongs to me and I have done free work for them for over 3 months with huge amount of bills that haven't been reimbursed. I allowed the disaster to ruin my holiday and used my sleeping time to build this claim system to help people while giving up the majority of my Bitcoin permanent savings. I promised myself not to do such kind of things again.
Thank you again for this kind gesture, please raise your hand if anything we can help in future.

see, now theres a point i can sympathize with. Im glad that someone brought something else to the table besides 'i was too late, its all your fault, youre a bad person for giving away all that money'.
I can understand that you feel unfairly treated, but again, look at this from his point of view. He wants to, out of the kindness of his soul, get some relief and comfort to people as fast as he can. Yes, he could have extended the date, but likewise, he could have only done a 24 hour period for the sake of actually using his time for himself(which he is most definitely entitled to) or just to get it done quicker. It was done in what i consider a reasonable fashion considering the circumstances.
Does it not make you feel even a little more comfortable in the aftermath of this most recent hack that someone is trying to help? So far there has been little to no help from elsewhere.

UPDATE 2: Everyone has been paid!
It took me about 8 minutes of hard work to finally pay everyone something. TXIDs:

So, less than 2% of Bitcoinica's 5000 customers got any coins. I guess I'm not the only one who was away for the weekend.

Zhou, I've PM you my claim maybe an hours after you've asked for it, I've also filled the form online very early on.
I did not knew how to write down exactly and wanted to be as honest as I could, I didn't knew if a position was considered a balance.
I've described my positions in the "comments" section.
I wish I could get a reply about my last 3 PM.
Thank you.

I will also refund back the bitcoins that I have received when I get my 100% refund from bitcoinica.
So..... Never?

Received 6.2995 BTC from remaining 50.5! If I get my money back from Bitcoinica I will be happy to return the donation to Zhou.
WTF took Bitcoinica LTD so long? They only lost more in the meantime. It's a pity. At this speed, Zhou might have been able to reopen the shop and make more money instead of this clusterfuck. Epic Fail Bitcoinica LTD. Again, thank you Zhou. Better than nothing.

Or do you really believe the last "hacking"? lol 
July 15, 2012, 01:38:33 PM
Noble gesture and I am very much impressed. I am so impressed infact that I will match your contribution with one of my own... I will contribute 5.000 BTC of my own personal investment to also help out those affected by the incident. I hope together, we can all get through this, thanks and good luck for the future!
Thanks so much for doing this. I dont know who you are, but, many thanks !
July 15, 2012, 01:23:30 PM
is the claim page still open?
I am still missing about 5000 USD from bitcoinica and would like to join the paybacks
The 5000 BTC has gone out, see the past posts.I am still missing about 5000 USD from bitcoinica and would like to join the paybacks
Thanks for updating me.
I have to admit that I find it a bit unfair that this is closed already. I was travelling the past days and did not read this thread. I just found it today and now the funds are gone...
So you're upset that the process occurred too quickly?
Just jokin around, I'd be annoyed too but there wasn't enough to compensate nearly everyone anyway so if you received money someone else wouldn't have.
