"...I, as the Bankruptcy Trustee of MtGox, will continue to make efforts to take necessary measures with respect to collection of receivables due from affiliated companies, etc."

What "affiliated companies, etc"?

It may be an incorrect translation from the Japanese. He must be referring to Tibanne and the Bitcoin Cafe, which could be said to be "connected" or "related" to MtGOX. "Affiliated" (from the Latin for "child") means "subordinated to" or "owned by"; the subtle distinction may have been missed by the translator.

Original Japanese is literally described as "Related Companies", and I don't see any missing points from the translator.

Thanks. Tibanne and Bitcoin Cafe are certainly "related" to MtGOX but not "affiliated" to it.

Three points:
(1) The great atmosphere of secrecy Kolin Burgess says is "sprinkled over everything like an artificial sweetener to hide things we're not going to like, cover up poor progress, avoid answering awkward questions etc." (See mtgoxprotest.com)
(2) Mark Karpeles was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). He talked about this on Reddit. Who, or what does this NDA protect?
(3) Kobayashi's plan to have the Mt. Gox servers wiped before turning them over to Kraken (which could more or less destroy the possibility of doing any sophisticated data recovery on them.)

Now the trustee says he will "take necessary measures with respect to collection of receivables due from affiliated [sic 'related'] companies, etc." He apparently must be talking about two bankrupt/defunct entities, Tibanne and Bitcoin Cafe. If so, then why waste his time on collecting money from two broke companies?

This month marks the first anniversary of the closure of Mt. Gox. When it closed down almost a year ago, we thought we knew (because they told us so) that Mt. Gox had been hacked. Now we know even less than we thought we knew back then.

Can this rabbit hole that we've fallen down still get even murkier yet?
