Re: Statement about the suspect of recent Bitcoinica hack

Thats because he is a member of the Washington DC bar

Well then, I stand corrected!

Sorry, I still don't get under what authority is Patrick Murck allowed to receive, possess and transfer stolen goods? There must be some sort of judicial process which results in the granting of a warrant to do so? Please Patrick Murck, lets have all the facts and proof.

Zhou is clearly on his way to prison, which is a shame and a triumph at the same time. No doubt there are others who are culpable too.

BB.

in my opinion not really important. having legal education he knows what he gets himself into. he acts on recommendation of big-players in the bitcoin scene - so I dont worry. btw. BTC-funds you can monitor in the address provided.

... contrary to that I am deeply thankful that he offers this service to the community!

Let us focus on the relevant tasks to end this nightmare the following in order:
1. Recovery of ALL funds through Zhou
2. Get the bitcoinica team up running again
3. Receive refunds
4. Thank Patrick Murk, prosecute the hacker, thank OR prosecute the Bitcoinica team (its up to you: ACT!)

let's stay with 1. and 2. for the moment, since all other theoretical discussions are of 0 value.
