So hoping for the best, I'm still not happy about quotes like this one:

He said that while the system had been built to be anonymous, it was "really easy to track Bitcoins across the network."
...most Bitcoin transactions flowed through Mt Gox, it was "much easier to see how the funds were cashed out, and locate the final target if there was need."

Why the hell did he tell them that?
Now he's on the hook to deliver the goods.
