Can't wait to get my refund :)

It's still insane to me that MtGox never moved coins to a wallet or acknowledged the breach until long after it was too late. You would think if you have billions of dollars sitting somewhere and you realize someone is starting to take them you would, you know, do something.

>Can't wait to get my refund :)

I had like 0.000001 BTC in mtgox and it was worth it for the cute sticky unfoldy postcard thing I got from the Japanese court.

Same here, I saved mine to show to my kids some day. "Hey look kids, your dad was summoned to a Japanese district court over the loss of 0.0001 bitcoin!"

Since bitcoin is deflationary (max supply) it's technically possible that 0.0001 might be worth something one day.

My holdings are much higher than that so it's a drop in the bucket either way at this point.

When did you get that? I never received such a card.

Years ago, it stated I was a creditor and was owed some comically tiny amount of BTC I had left in my account. Cool form factor, a sorta sticky postcard sized accordian you would pull apart, japanese on one side, english on the other.

Got that funny card as well :)

I got that card and had 0 BTC in my account. I think they sent it to anyone who ever used the exchange, regardless if they had funds in it at the time it fell apart.

Not even any fiat?

There's no chance of that, right? (Hence ":)")

At the time of the MtGox implosion I was bummed to have lost a few hundred $ worth of BTC. Now I'd be very interested in recovering that balance ... in BTC.

I had a decent chunk of BTC. I would be shocked if I ever saw any of it.

There is a good chance part of what customers lost during MtGox will be redistributed after bankruptcy hearings, but you needed to file a claim by July 29, 2015.
