dude, if things are done as usual, or as expected you will not only not see any funds soon, if you receive any funds at all it will be no sooner than a year from now.

Mt Gox declared bankruptcy, the whole matter is about btc a currency 99% of the world (including regulators, lawyers, courts, etc) know very little about; given Marks record keeping skills and propensity to erase incriminating things, my guess no one gets anything unless that block chain is scrubbed in order to find the money and prove that he has or may have it.  If he doesn't have it no one is getting squat.  

So, on the upside in about a year you may receive a check for about $100.00 for your $8K loss, on the down side you get nothing.

Join up with the class action suits and all other efforts but don't count on seeing that $8K again.
