EDIT: How do we contact Wendon and ask them what the hell is actually going on with all of this?
You could try contacting Tihan Seale.
From the 2nd report:
ATOR limited, a company associated with Wendon, holds a General Security Agreement ('GSA') over all present and after acquired personal property of Bitcoinica LP.
Tihan is the director of ATOR:

Note that Tihan pledged to waive his rights as a secured creditor in this liquidation. So all the proceeds (in USD or BTC) should go to the customers.
I will get -nothing- for having entered this bloody fray, and you know well what I have risked to do so. I will not see a second of my life back or a single satoshi. But by God the customers will.
The court appointed the principals of PKF Corporate Recovery & Insolvency to administer the liquidation. It will be their job to return funds to customers to the full extend possible. They will require the cooperation of MtGox and Bitcoinica's managing partners to accomplish this.
Also, what happened to the 15.000 BTC recovered after the Mt.Gox hack by Patrick Murck? I assume these were held in a separate non-frozen account that the Liquidator should have access to at this point?
When the hacker was ready to return 15,000 BTC, that transaction was delayed for days because the Consultancy would not provide a receiving address.
Thankfully, Mr. Murck stepped in as a licensed attorney to broker their receipt. He was subjected to a lot of hazing and invasion of privacy here for doing so. Without him, the coins might never have been recovered.
Those funds and any additional recovered funds will be placed under control of a receiver. This is a formal legal process that will allow Mt Gox et al to release funds to the receiver for distribution.
We have been in this thing for so long now, I am starting to forget what even happened in the first place.
I guess I can try to contact this Tihan @ wendon group to see if he can move this thing along. Doubt it will help though.
I guess what I can't understand for the life of me is......
a) Why can't they just stop all this b.s. and just take the coins out of the mt gox account for distribution? I mean if someone has the password to the mt gox account, why can't they just be withdrawn? Is it because this Patrick guy is "on the hook" to Wendon because of what went down?
b) If this patrick guy is the only one with the PW, what happens if he becomes incapacitated? Then the coins are essentially lost to the black hole on mt gox forever?
c) Why doesn't this liquidator just get on with suing these fucks at mt gox instead of just siphoning $50,000 a year to write 2 reports that maybe took about 2.5 hours to create? I mean its been like 2 years or so I feel. Why just continue to string this along.. obviously mt gox is a pos.. just lets get this fucker over with.
I feel like I am taking crazy pills. I guess I can try writing to Wendon Group. I am sure either a no response or brick wall.
If you are correct about Wendon group giving up all rights as a secured creditor, we should be in the clear as far as distributions coming back to us.
