People keep saying that, and one would think that if it were that simple, and enough people lost money/BTC on the MtGox debacle, then someone would have gone hunting for it, and found it.
I have read no report, so if it hasn't happened yet, why should I believe it will happen?
- danbruc 13y agoIt is that simple once you know all of MtGox addresses and transactions. But I doubt you will ever get that information, I even tend to doubt MtGox that MtGox has this information itself.
- eterm 13y agoNo it isn't that simple, because a 1BTC on a MTGox account isn't the same thing as 1BTC on the blockchain, if it were then Gox wouldn't have collapsed the way it did.
- danbruc 13y agoMtGox internals don't matter for tracing the lost coins. You need to know all addresses owned by MtGox, then you also know all the coins deposited to MtGox, and you need the list of legitimate withdraws. Then you can just look what happened to the coins not legitimately withdrawn.
