Yes not too flattering of a handle in some regards! haha My friends gave me that nickname as soon as the movie rolled out. Not sure why, I've never done a qualude or stolen anyone's money, so go figure. But it was funny and so sure I said, I'll just use that.
On the other side of the crypto-coin is the fact that I am a wolf, and losing those coins on Gox through complacency, to me is acceptable. I mean seriously what am I going to do. I knew I was had around January 20th. I manage a fund in the real World, so to me it was just one of those freeze the markets at 3:15 and lose a million on Blackberry last June 27, 2013 kind of moments. You move on.
I have many more BTC in reserve and I deserve everything I got for allowing a retarded kid hold on to millions of my dollars. It is my fault for thinking he was something other than retarded. I did not do my due diligence. NO ONE DID! And that is where the problem lies.

I am glad you "Have many more BTC in reserve."
Were you keeping the coins on Gox for trading purposes? Most people saw some of the "red flags" if you will that there were problems. I had a super small amount on there, like 0.2 and my husband kept nagging me to get that small amount off for months. I finally moved them like two weeks before the site closed. My husband also told his budddy at work that he really needed to get the coins off for several months and he even sent him fractions of coins to set up an account at Coinbase as a little pressure to do so. But the guy never moved them (there were only like 15 coins but still a decent amount) but the guy said, "They were worth more on Gox." Worth more? I guess his reasoning at the time was that the price on Gox was higher than the other exchanges. But if you can't get the cash out of Gox it doesn't really matter what they are worth does it? Oh well.
I hope you get some of your coins back regardless! If you have a decent amount left then all should work out anyways. Following Rpietila's SSS plan and it looks like we don't even need that many coins to be in a great position in a few years time.
That is my plan anyways.
