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.
from the sounds of what the ceo was saying these guys security was seriously lacking.
these guys probably were not even close to PCI compliant. (they probably dont have to be by law but they should strive for it anyways)
if they were then they wouldnt need to move their servers to.... "a more secure server space" -bitstram CEO
these guys have not been taking security seriously.
