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.

How close is it to calling this a perfect crime if this speculation is true?
About as close as you can get without also considering that there is some strong circumstantial evidence that Bruce is involved.
I gotta admit... I usually wouldn't even want to bring up something like that. But... Well, there were honestly some very speculative claims about other problems with Bruce made, and turns out he was found by a court to have defrauded many people out of their money, and some of that is still ongoing in another court. And more recently comes evidence that Bruce was aware of Mybitcoin problems for weeks before he stopped promoting them-- multiple emails where he told someone he would stop promoting them and address the problem, but he didn't.
