Sorry, my interest in this whole bitcoinica shitstorm waned a few weeks ago. Will somebody tl;dr what's been going on lately for me? Or even more to the point, just answer whether the likelihood of me getting my bitcoins back has gone up or down given the events of the past week.
ZhouTong was the hacker who stole all the coins. All the evidence pointed to him, so he could do nothing but make up an imaginary "friend" who he says framed him, but of course he won't provide ANY evidence of this person.
Now the community wants to play nice with him to get the money back, THEN we are going to see he rots in jail. Some people on this forum believe him, oddly, but he probably won't convince the police of an invisible person when they come a knocking. So Zhou posts like he is innocent, and we post like we believe him.
