is there any data showing that Bitstamp and BTC-e are helping investigate the theft of coins from MtGox. They should be in there helping to find accounts associated with the coins. It's in their own interest and the bitcoin community to show that it can self-police and help find thieves.
And I'm sure that naturally, you'll be the first in line to contribute to the BTC self-policing fund? Or should it just be them?
I'd be happy to. The only folks who don't want to see it are people trying to hide money.
You can't stop it and it will happen more and more (exchange cooperation in thefts).
