I suspect that if BitFloor's legal counsel advised them against further communications via this forum, that they would not let their creditors know via this site or forum. As a matter of fact, I suspect that we won't see much further communication from BitFloor via this forum at this time unless they find a way to come back online and cover all losses.

So is it now on me to remember to check Bitfloor.com or this thread a month, two months, three months from now to see if there's been unveiled a way for me to reclaim the part of my property that wasn't stolen?

If a bankruptcy is filed and you had $ or BTC at bitfloor, you should be included on the list of creditors, and you'll get periodic mailings about the progress of the matter.

If some other legal action is filed, there's a pretty good chance you'll be included as a party, which would mean you'll get copies of filings, unless you hire an attorney, who'd handle them for you.

But, generally, this is how the world works. If you entrust someone else with your stuff, and shit happens to them where they have trouble giving back all of the stuff they've promised to others, it's gonna be ugly and inconvenient. This is even how it works if someone comes to your house and takes all of your shit involuntarily.

So the trick is to not let it happen in the first place.

Ask the Bitcoinica depositors how that claim process is going.

At least here, there's some chance that this will be handled in an orderly fashion in a single jurisdiction, instead of the international clusterfuck that is Bitcoinica.
