EDIT: Trace the coins all you can. Aside from the 100 BTC donated by hacker I'm pretty sure the rest are legitimate coins once stored in either Mt. Gox or Bitcoinica.
The fact that Zhou accepted 100 BTC of the stolen coins as a donation to his personal fund distribution represented a clear conflict of interest. He should have sent that directly back to Bitcoinica. I did receive some compensation from Zhou's donation fund and decided to send 100 BTC from that back to the Bitcoinica Recovery Fund managed by Patrick Murk to compensate for the hacker donation. So that should be covered now.

Although Zhou claimed that he could recover 20.000 BTC from Chen. I wonder if he is counting his 5000 BTC compensation as part of the recovery funds... And if not, why is there 5000 BTC is missing from the reclaimed funds? (It might be explained somewhere, in which case I missed it)

I have gathered some data to estimate the amount that can be recovered from Chen Jianhai:
USD: about $140,000 + $5000 frozen at AurumXchange (under SJ account)
BTC: about 20,000 BTC
There's an unknown amount of funds left in Chris Heaslip's account and I have no way of knowing the exact balance.
Chen Jianhai was only able to offer the above-mentioned amount due to the cost of his laundering activities and also the significantly lower Bitcoin price when he cashed out. If Bitcoinica or the community wants him to cover the full amount at today's prices, I'm willing to co-operate with any police investigation. But either case, my previous donation should have pretty much covered the difference.
