I hope the new "owners" are getting a very VERY expensive, professional and ruthless lawyer(s) to draw up the contract that says that, whenever they take over the website, that they are free from all the shenanigans over the stolen, lost and hacked coins. Because I am p-r-e-t-t-y sure that there are a lot of people just waiting for confirmation that all contracts are signed with the new owners, so that they can press charges, sue and get their money back, because obviously they won't get anything from maver.

And since the new owners are residents in better judicial system countries such as Germany, Finland, and others, it would be much easier for anyone to sue.

I read in an earlier post that that people would have a hard time to prove in court that bitcoins are "money" and they have value and should be compensated for the stolen coins. You can treat bitcoins as any other "good" in an economics sense. Example: Some people trade Teddy Bears, and some of them are worth $500k. A "good" is a "good" .. And since people trade on it, it could be toilet paper as far as the courts are concerned, if there was proof of such value. And with all these sites and exchanges, that would be no problem. Now suing over a "good" is one thing, suing over "money" is at a total different level. That will be courts only challenge.

So, new investors, ESPECIALLY the ones that are oblivious about the questionnaire, and opted to "invest" in this.. You better prepare, and seek legal advice.. because if even 1 person sue, the courts can come after your money too.. all the lawyers need to do if find out who has the most in the bank and concentrate on them.

Oh btw, you willingly invested in a business proven to be a ponzi scheme. One can argue.. what were your true intentions..?? Perhaps you saw an opportunity to do the same and get away with it, just like maver did.. I mean, that's quick money, right? And no one is liable? That won't stick.

I'm all for the site re-opening.. but boy, 18,000BTC is serious.. I'm not hating.. I just don't think a lot of these people fully understand what it means "investing in a business" or being part of one, and liable.

Good luck yall.
