I am a Trusted Account holder and have been using MtGox for more than 3 years.
Quite some BTC coins stuck now for 6 days. USD stuck for more than 5 months. No response to multiple support tickets. A tweet to Mark Karpeles with my support ticket reference got no reply.
Can anyone recommend a lawyer, preferable Tokyo based, to formally notify MtGox and its directors and put them in breach ?
If you're in the US, you can sue them in Delaware. Mt. Gox registered with FinCen, established a US "office" in Delaware, and is thus subject to US law.
I don't want to sue because it will very likely be throwing good money after bad to hire an attorney and all that crap. Plus it would be a giant hassle.
What I would like to do is somehow attach a claim to some of the money (~$5M) that the U.S. Govt appropriated from Mutum Smegma, LLC or whatever they call it.
Anyone with legal experience know if such a thing is possible?
I made a semi-formal proposal to Mt. Gox to roll back the transactions which I performed specifically and exclusively to receive a wire and kept documentation of this offer. So, I expect to be claiming more than the value of the wire that they never sent after 6 months of waiting. (Don't expect to get it though, but who knows?)
