For the 5th time: Under what legal authority is Murck able to receive and transfer stolen goods?.
Why do you even care?
Because it is of absolute importance that any legal effort to return stolen funds is, in fact
legal.
No coins are back in the hands of their rightful owners. Therefore NO coins have yet been recovered.
Thankfully they have ignored your for-the-5th-time question and the funds are now safe at mtgox.
"Safe"? Perhaps. Legally? Who knows. Returned to the victims? Certainly not. Wow, what a righteous victory!
Sure, that is the main reason why you (and others) try to prevent ZT to return the funds. Very logically

If Zhou was not the theif, then the funds are not his to return. He is not legally entitled to handle or transfer stolen goods and nor it seems is Murck. Don't try to bait me on logic. It's clear that you cannot understand the logic that for something to be legally legitimate it must have legal authority.
You should really contact mlawrence, you are a perfect match to form some "Bitcoin crusade"
I have no interest with mlawrence and its clear that you have no interest in factual and sincere discussion of the matter.
Since the conference will be probably be co-sponsored by Intersango, this is not going to happen. And this why the conference will fall under a bad light because they cannot afford to lose sponsors I'm sure.
If as many expect, the Intersango trio are eventually proven to be liable/culpable, it could be argued that the whole conference was sponsored by theives with stolen money.
