Yeah, I agree. People automatically assume there's no way law enforcement would be able to do anything. I disagree, bitcoins in regard to bitcoinica could really just be a way of money transfer, as they were used interchangeably with USD on the site. You cannot argue that nothing was stolen as someone is richer and thousands are poorer, not only that, but digital property is still property. The supposed thefts are definitely a crime in the UK under our misuse of computer act, and the bitcoin consultancy should have used this very form to report them to the police. If this ends up in court I would like to see them come up with why they didn't report over £200 000 stolen to the authorities.
