I believe so. He handled this matter very professionally and I'm going to continue recovering the fiat money from the hackers.
Zhou,
Since the Intersango team is actively blocking the recovery process, can we convince you to take care of the claims process as you originally offered?
You can calculate everything, and submit the information to Tihan / Patrick Murck for verification and actual payout.
I can do that, provided anyone from Bitcoinica can send me the data (claims platform isn't available any more) and also the written authorization. With the authorization the fund holding parties can get the frozen funds from Mt. Gox as well.
Also I suggest you to arrange this with Patrick Murck because handling claims may have serious legal implications.
This authorization will never happen!
We can, however, speed things by clearing up, who has legal authority to manage the funds at Bitcoinica, BEFORE Patrick releases the funds to them. I assume this to be legally required anyway. When we know that, the only thing missing is the database. Zhou? If you or your "friend" returned the funds, how about the database? If Consultancy has the authority and the database, things could be (optimistically) over in a week or two!
What makes you think bitcoin consultancy magically has the database now? They've stated they don't have it. You people will *never* see your money.
