They do have expertise with Internet crime you are right however I am betting that whoever was sophisticated enough to perform this hack would be sophisticated enough to cover their tracks ex: TOR, VPN, etc.

If this was perpetrated by an individual gaining physical access to their server(s) then its likely that it could result in a fruitful investigation.  Access to most data centers is logged and monitored.  I cannot see VC investing 10 mil without performing due dilligence which would at the very least uncover sub-standard hosting practices.

I dont think that the police can help at all.  They simply have no experience dealing with cryptocurrencies with the exception of a few people in the DEA and FBI.

Maybe not directly with cryptocurrency but if this is a result of a serverhack there is some real expertise nowadays. We need to consider those BTC lost but there is real experience with internet crime.
