I got back 49% (11.5 BTC) and I'm more than happy.
Yeah, it sucks to loose so much...but if you were in my position and knew how much I spent to make those BTC...you wouldn't be mad.

That's what I thought about my 49% until I pondered this up in speculative head:

Well, I posted my claim for my measly .12 bitcoin left at MyBitcoin. And sure enough my 49%, .0000005 something did get credited back to me. So a normal person would think, hmmm cut my loss and I'm done. Then that 49% settlement return kept creeping back into my mind and I remembered a post here that calculated that MyBitcoin may have as much as a million and a half in bitcoins. So if this hacking statement is a farse, Old Tom Williams will be walking away with a possible 8 mill at the current 10 dollar rate when he cashes out way down the road after everybody gets their 49% and decides to move on as I have. My measley .12 bitcoin is insignificant but when you add all the measely .12's, Old Tom wil have a fairly nice 401 to retire on. Hell, I could retire nicely on just 3 million. Obviously this is speculation, but I'm sure that the 1,000 and over depositors have had this same scenario cross their minds.51% and walk away with no questions asked sounds great to me.Just my 8 million cents.
