"Zhou" took funds recovered from "Chen" hostage in order to circumvent AML-regulations for suspicious private transactions at AurumXChange. According to him these funds locked at AurumXchange belong now to us Bitcoinica-creditors (which also means Zhou still privately holds further stolen funds). Even though I despise him for tricking his private funds free the question remains:
@AurumXchange can you unlock these funds and send them into the MtGox trust account? please give a status update.
So how much has Zhou Tong stolen and not yet returned?
@AurumXchange should keep the funds locked. Zhou has stated they are his personal funds, so it is between him and AurumXchange. He is keeping our bitcoins to fund his personal mistakes. In other words, he's charging a fee for stealing from us.
