Want to correct some misconceptions. Trustee is still working on returning the bitcoins he is holding. Current estimates put it at about 16% of claim + $480 usd per coin.
Also, stolen coins going through btce is well known and is almost but certain. Vinnik had account and doxxed himself on gox as WME. It is the current guess by many that the coins went to btce and any further recovery is tied to Vinnik. Until further events happen in regards to his extradition (supposed to be by January) it is hard to know how this will take course
