GOX now saying they found 200k in missing coin.

http://en-maktoob.news.yahoo.com/mt-gox-says-found-200-000-bitcoins-forgotten-031835511--sector.html

"Today in court we got relief ... specifically to track the 180,000 bitcoins, which we've been monitoring. Hours later, Mt. Gox claimed it 'found' these bitcoins ... it appears Mt. Gox realized we were close and decided to acknowledge that it owned these 180,000-200,000 bitcoins," Steven L. Woodrow, a partner at law firm Edelson, told Reuters in emailed comments.

Dear Honourable Colin Miner, It has become known to me that you are an expert in bitcoin.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Karpeles and I am CEO of the Mt Gox bitcoin exchange.

I need your help to release the bitcoin locked in a private key encryption. I am permitted by our regulators to share this information with you and ask for your help.

You are invited to view our bitcoin holdings in our blockchain

http://blockchain.info/address/1P3S1grZYmcqYDuaEDVDYobJ5Fx85E9fE9

I have been give authority to pay you to release our locked coins as soon as the funds are available.

For every one BTC you send me, I can pay the right people and have been assured by my creditors I can unlock 25 bitcoins, of which I can return your bitcoin and your payment of 5 btc

No no that's not laundry that's Gox allocating fund to our accounts ready for a swift return Undecided

Edit: fml I refuse to back into the hope stage of grief. Angry

Would be nice wouldn't it? And I didn't even have any money or bitcoin on GOX, but with the way they have handled things, the community, whether vested in gox or not, need to be on top of this and find out WTF is going on right now.

Some people have said "maybe it's the thief". That makes no sense. What thief would have had access to these coins and not moved them the moment they had access? Sit around, wait for GOX to fail then one sunny March morning decide "hey, better move these now". Don't buy it. IMHO, someone at GOX or associated with GOX is moving these coins around, and very quickly at that.

You know what would be real nice. If they would just post up on Mt.gox.com "yea that was us" then we would know for sure we had lost them for ever Grin

this is meaningless, this hige transaction was made @ 2011...

so I checked only first from the list and it has nothing to do with this case

Wrong, it has all the meaning in the world.. The point is that it was made in 2011 when it was known to be Mt.Gox money. Hasn't moved, much.

This.

The link above to letstalkbitcoin shows that GOX was control of those wallets then (2011) and made those deposits. The deposits haven't moved since.
