Didn't they catch the guy suspected of laundering them? (Someone behind btc-e if I recall) Don't really want to split hairs here, but there's still 137,891 BTC left in Mt Gox cold wallets that has yet to be liquidated by the administrators. (Out of the 200k that was 'found'). That's quite a significant amount by anyone's calculation.
