Simply put, no that is not how the audits have taken place. We have the complete and intact database info, but it was/is a mess the way things were before. There was a small time between when the site was taken offline and when the new group gained control over the wallets. Because of this time gap and the way the original hacks occurred, there was a small window where the hackers could still move funds from the old CR wallets on their own whim, unbeknownst to anyone at the time. The fund transfers that did occur as soon as they were possible occurred as soon as a wallet was downloaded, not synced, and were once again safe. The time since then has been dedicated to coding a new site from scratch to provide a new platform by which it would even be possible to return funds to users in a secure way opposed to trusting every email which has come in saying, "I had this many Bitcoins (just an example), please send them to this address." The issue I have been facing since I recently took over the audits has been outdated wallets and the lack of nodes for these different coins.

I snipped what I believe is the relevant portion to my question, for reply.

If I understand what you're saying, the audits can't be done in a simple fashion by examining database information because the exchange backend (wallets) were transferring funds manually (via the thieves). Hence in order to back-track financial data, you need full blockchains for each compromised coin, and because some chains appear dysfunctional you're facing a dilemma. Is this correct?
