Still no bitcoins and the police are now involved. See the link in my sig for updates. If you are missing bitcoins from any of Strateman's and Taaki's ventures, Intersango, Bitcoinica etc. now is a good time to file your police report in whatever country or state you are in if you have not done it already, and I will do my best to get your property returned to you under California's seizure laws. You do not have to be American, and this will not cost any significant amount of money so far as I can tell, unless you want to travel to San Francisco and give evidence in court, in person. Also we have been on the phone to the police in SF quite a lot, but I don't know if everyone will need to phone quite so much now everything is underway.

I am going to be doing all this anyway, so I thought it might be a good idea to pool our efforts. I understand not everyone has the resources to sue, and the law already has provision for stolen property to be returned to the rightful owner anyway.

Within the next few weeks I will give out contact details of the officer in charge in the US. At that time, you may get your local police to fax or email your local complaint, and you will be able to forward it yourself as well, to be on the safe side.

If your local police are not very professional or educated, you might prefer to write in or email. Make sure you get some reference number to prove you put in a complaint, and keep a copy of your complaint safe as this is what the investigating officer in the US will be seeing.
