To whom it may concern:
mt.gox japan lawyer has filed for bankruptcy protection today and I think we all know what that means. I have also spoken with my lawyer and we now have two choices:
1. We can still file the summons against mt.gox poland for fraud and misleading but we won't be able to recover anything at this point. The outcome of this would be mr bartlomiej szabat detained, mt.gox WBK bank account seized and their credit reputation over here ruined! Also a government record.
2. We can cancel all proceedings and just hope for the best.
Since i am not on this alone i would like to ask everyone involved, what are your thoughts and how do you think we should proceed.
I'm not sure. Of course I want those fuckers to face justice, but I've lost hope and have no faith in the judicial system. Maybe it's for the better if I forget about this and move on with my life. It doesn't seem likely that there's anything to gain by suing either Mark Karpeles or Bartlomiej Szabat. Or am I wrong?
BTW: Isn't the Polish bank (that Gox used) also complicit in all of this? They accepted deposits right until the moment when Gox went dark. (I know that because I was among those who deposited at that time.) I talked to them a couple of days ago. Here's what they replied to the first mail I sent them:
Dear Customer,
thank you for your message.
With reference to your e-mail regarding bitcoin transaction made with mentioned company, I kindly inform, that according to bank?s secrecy I cannot provide any information about account of that company.
Claims should be addressed to the company.
However, if you feel deceived, please, report that issue to law enforcement in you country. Bank Zachodni WBK will cooperate in that issue with properly institutions from your country.
I hope that above information will be helpful. In case of additional questions, please contact us.
(Notice how he mentioned deception even though the
only thing I'd told him at that point was to recall the last of my fiat transactions. I hadn't given him any reason for my wish to recall the money. Nor had I mentioned bitcoins or MtGox. (The very first thing I did was to instruct my own bank to do a recall, of course.))
Here's the second (and last) reply:
Dear Customer,
thank you for your message.
With reference to your e-mail regarding fraudulent transaction, I kindly inform, that you need to report it to law enforcement in your country.
Bank Zachodni WBK will cooperate with them to solve your issue. I can assure you that we will take every necessary step for resolution.
I hope that above information will be helpful. In case of additional questions, please contact us.
I did, of course, inform the so called law enforcement in my country (in an extensive e-mail), but they haven't answered. They're probably too busy drinking coffee and eating donuts.
