I've got more than enough funds sitting in MtGox right now to begin pursuing them via legal action right now.  I am sick to my ****ing stomach because my gut is telling me that I am out an inexplicable amount of money.

Why I kept most of my funds in BTC, that's a question I'll be asking myself for a long, long time.

All I know, is that I am now ALL IN when it comes to pursuing these mother****ers through every single legal alleyway my lawyer will find.  I am currently trying to find a lawyer who specializes in virtual currency (in New York).  If anyone has a connection let me know.

I am not holding my breath thinking that they will magically find enough BTC to give customers theirs back.

I am of the belief that my Bitcoins are gone.

Private investigators, in my experience, are a 100% sure-fire way to waste money and valuable time when it comes to legal battles.  Most evidence they turn up is not permissible in the court-of-law, with that said, I am already trying to brainstorm my attack here.

I am sure I am not alone here, so if anyone wants to team-up and get the ball rolling, shoot me a PM.

Scummy mother****ers will go down.

EDIT: Sorry OP.  Might have hijacked here.
Maybe it was a legit hacker who took your BTC but I wouldn't put it past the OPs of MtGox siphoning their own users money under the table.
