So, Mt. Gox hack was related to BTC-e and BitMixer.io? And the common point of connection is Alexander Vinnik? Roll Eyes

There's plenty of conjecture about Vinnik, BTC-e and Gox. Didn't know about Bitmixer.

This law firm has popped up a few times here now. It all sounds extremely questionable to me but everything in Russia sounds extremely questionable.

"ZP Legal offered to file police reports in Russia on the creditors’ behalf. Then, creditors would have to wait for alleged BTC-e operator Alexander Vinnik to get extradited to Russia and for the police to find the other culprits — with ZP Legal’s help. The thieves would either plead guilty and return the stolen funds to receive lighter sentences, or get convicted and then be sued by creditors for damages."

That all sounds ludicrous with speculation piling on top of speculation and even if every link in the chain holds up, and it won't, the process looks like it would take many, many years.

If I were a Russian Gox type with a bit of money left and I believed any of this will play out like they seem to want to believe it will I'd recruit my own lawyer for a fraction of the cost. And it seems like someone already has.

Well, the only way that Bitmixer.io would have been involved, would have been if those people used Bitmixer.io after the supposed hack to mix those coins. Bitmixer.io was the largest Bitcoin mixing service provider from 2014 to 2017 and the owner always said that they had any logs for the mixing that was done on the site.

Those coins that were not recovered, will never be recovered in the future... because if it went through Bitmixer.io it would have been spend already and then it is gone forever.   Angry
