Hopefully someone with knowledge of legal precedents can respond to this question:

With the "convenient" discovery of 200,000 BTC in a "previously forgotten" wallet by MtGox, does this affect the status of their current bankruptcy protection ruling in Japan, USA and anywhere else they might have one?

Could there have been a perverse incentive to secure a bankruptcy protection ruling based on the claimed total loss of funds and then suddenly "discover" a portion of the missing funds later?
