Anyone want to total the amount of rejected claims?

just wondering the amount of Bogus claims vs accepted
to see if the amount that was "lost" in btc was truley lost vs. the amount they "found (202k btc)"


The total claim in JPY is a staggering 263519268303371, so that means about 2150 billion Euro !!!!
Total accepted claim in JPY is only  45609593503, so that means 372 million Euro.
So basically 1 in 5770 is accepted Huh!!!

You can download the complete PDF. It is incredible to see what BTC amount people lost: there are many in the thousands and quote a few who lost 10k to 50k btc.
There's even one guy who claims 4.6million BTC

There's a strong possibility none of the "rejected" claims was actually true. Since there was no penalty or legal prosecution for someone to fill a bogus claim, only the person's fantasy could limit what he/she would claim. FWIW: I believe that the true claims were a bit more and as previously stated here, there were some people that were holding their stash there for anonymity reasons.

Even those who did not provide a surname and name though, since their account was active and contained some BTCs had a very good chance claiming their possessions and probably did. I'm more concerned about the distribution procedure. Anyone here filled his claims with Kraken? Did anyone receive a notice regarding ETA of the funds?

Can you be a pal and add the entire PDF that's on the mtgox site on here ? Many bitcoiners would appreciate it Wink.

I agree its a very strong possibility that many if not all of the claims that were denied are fake. Alot of times when their is a class action lawsuit a " money grab" mentality takes place where anyone who files a claim can get a payout. In order for one to receive funds a valid claim must be filed with receipts  ( inner city slang for proof) that funds were truly lost. This has never happened before in regards to cryptocurrency , it's uncharted territory.

Did the individuals who lost 10k to 50k bitcoin get an approved or denied claim ?  That must of been one tough pill to swallow when mtgox went belly up Sad .

Also, if anyone out there knows ,during black Friday 2013 when btc on mtgox went to 1,242.00 a coin , was btc avail to be stored on mobile wallets via cell phones and other smart devices or only on paper and cold storage wallets ?

Tknx.
