May be it will be better to lock this thread. Because there is no activity on the Russian thread and most of the users seems to have got used to the fate of the exchange. The users will never receive any of their funds, because what is remaining will be seized by the FBI. There will be no positive outcome from pursuing this case any further.
It's not like this thread is being spammed. I see no persuasive reason to lock this thread in terms of getting updates, whether positive or negative, and even if there might not be any posts for a few years. You never know with these kinds of things, in other words, even if the probabilities of anything positive happening seem to be in the sub 1% arena, it is still good to keep these kinds of information channels open.
