Suggestion:
Offer a 18.5k BTC bounty for whoever releases a copy of the database.
The database isn't worth 18.5k.
No, it is actually worth much more than that, since quite a few people are going will be suing Bitcoinica if their balance does not satisfy them.
You better negotiate a good deal with the hacker, or you are pretty sure to be made insolvent.
Show me one case where people have been sued due to BTC otherwise you are FUDging.
Sue for USD ? Most likely but if tomorrow Intersango ran with all the BTC they had nobody could do a thing.
