Also, i don't like the "judge, jury and executioner" approach shown by mtgox.
In what way has mtgox acted as judge, jury or executioner?  He came over a heap of stolen money, and blocked the account while the investigation goes on.  Would there be any other sensible thing to do?  Any other legal options?  If mtgox do something illegal here, like releasing the account with stolen funds before the matter is completely resolved, we are all at risk of loosing everything we have on mtgox.
If he has strong , I repeat very strong proof that I am that "thief", so he must go to police and provide that proof to them, and only with police permission he can block money
You can read the proof in this thread.  It is damning evidence, and mtgox doesn't need more than that to block your account.  In most jurisdictions a bank or exchange has to block the account when stolen money get transferred to it.  VISA, MasterCard, PayPal and your bank would do the exact same thing without waiting for the police.  They are not allowed to let the thief run away with the stolen money.  You claim to have lawyers, but I doubt it.

But his "proof" that I can't remember nick, chanell  details, is not any proof, or fact at all, and every court will refuse to accept it as proof.
You may go on forgetting your own name, it doesn't matter.  The story doesn't check out anyway.  You made it up, and even changed the story when you got more details about your fictional trade, but it doesn't work.  The block chain contains the facts.


VISA, mastercard is bank institution, paypal also acts like bank( I don't use paypal, so I can't say about that strong), so there are two different things. They have special law power issued by government, when you agree to use their services, you sign on agreement (that they can block you money, if they see any problems and etc.), I don't see any agreement on mtgox.com website. In this case "mtgox.com" acts like individual(person/corporation), so he is responsible for any loses, anybody may have, by blocking money.

To sturle : it's strange for me your strong opinion about all this, without knowing everything.

There are many misunderstanding on mtgox.com business.

As I can see , it was my mistake , That I accepted to tell everything on public. Now everyone interpreted as what they want.  In this case mtgox.com was clever , because he don't tell you very much.
