[member=1607]Ashaman[/member] That is a pretty impressive write-up just from memory and I share your theory about when the theft happened. Another theory is that the bitcoins were gone even when he bought mtGox from mr. RippleLabs/Stellar Jed McCaleb. I was hurt pretty bad by MtGox as well, mostly because other projects apparently used them for storage despite vehemently claiming the opposite in the time prior. Also just about all btc-media and prominents were recommending using mtGox at the time. Come to think of it, quite a few of those same characters like Roger Ver and Falkvinge and such are now actively participating in the hostile corporate takeover and amateur hour centralization attempt going on against bitcoin, that also has the possibility to set the entire crypto scene back by decades. Wasn't aware of Luke-jr using and recommending mtgox though, which is a bit shocking for somebody supposedly more technically savy.
Anyways I fear that you are right, poloniex looks to be going in to the same list as all the others like mtGox/Cryptsy/etc. Sad that people don't seem to realize what bitshares was meant to replace those centralized points of failure.
