I won't support any suit that seeks preferential treatment of USD holders over BTC holders.

a good point. can someone find a different lawyer who will be happy to pursue for BTC funds?

I totally get it and I will clarify with the lawyer tonight. ...but from his perspective, BTC is property whereas fiat is fiat. What BTC is worth will be an additional point of negotiation and litigation, whereas USD/EUR/JPY is very cut and dry, and I'd rather have this case settled quickly before anything else falls apart. If you're still in BTC and you'd rather try to recoup the losses so far on Gox, then, yes maybe an alternative lawyer would be better.

From *my* perspective, I've been in fiat for a couple months, so for me, this is a no brainer. I just want my F*ing money. Maybe this particular suit is best for those in cash.

I understand your point of view. The reason I have BTC stuck in gox is because my USD was stuck there for months. I bought BTC at a 33% discount after the initial announcements about withdrawal delays because I figured my money was stuck anyway. It is just a shame that we will be fighting each other for a share of Mtgox's assets.
