*To check your balance, you need your Mtgox USER ID, from your first email of registration at MtGox.

For anyone curious, here's how to find your balance.  For example, my original account creation Email from Gox looks about like this (with some numbers redacted):

Note the bolded portion above.  I've replaced mine with 0's in the above, but yours will have a UUID-looking string of hexadecimal groups of numbers separated by hyphens.  Cross-reference this with the "mtgox_balances" file from the leak.  Your user ID will match the "User__" column.

I can confirm my BTC balance shown there matches what it was when Gox shut down, so this is recent data and appears to be a legit database dump.
