Mark, please post MtGox's customer privacy agreement here in this thread.

AurumXChange and BitInstant should as well.
This.

If information has to be released, release it to the police.

I'm quite unclear as to why the involved parties are disclosing this kind of information on a public internet forum.
At worst it might even harm an official investigation.

I'm curious about AurumExchange's and MT's actual motivations for posting all this.


Part of the problem is that Bitcoinica's operators are AWOL.  They haven't filed a police report, which hasn't opened up the process which would allow his kind of stuff to be formally requested and provided.  Now it's either up to the investors or the users to sue for a resolution.  We all have a claim against Bitcoinica but as of this moment, the only entity with a claim against the hacker is Bitcoinica.  No criminal law enforcement agency in the world is going to pick this case up given the mess it is and, sorry to say, relatively small amount of money that is involved.  We may be able to get local cops on it after a court has sorted out who is responsible for what but that's a ways off.

Why anybody still has their money at Intersango is beyond me.
