It's based on that thread that I started this one. I mean I was living a happy-go-lucky 3 years and now I find out I might be sued? Unbelievable.

Consensus in that thread thusfar seems to be: unlikely.

Tbh I wouldn't worry about this right now. If something like that ever happened I'm sure the statute of limitations would be long gone. Just be glad you actually got out before now.

Well I don't live in the USA or in Japan, does this apply to Europe?

 
Even if it was legislated somewhere that this was a possibility, the costs to administer any attempt to recover from 1000’s of people would far outway any recoveries.
 
Never going to happen mate.

I do not know the position/legislation of other countries – but having been an Insolvency Practitioner in Australia for many years – I can provide the position as it would be in OZ (I would assume most countries would have a similar line).
 
What you are talking about is receiving a Preferential Payment (PP). And a PP can be recovered by a Liquidator of a company in liquidation.
 
However, a creditor/debtor relationship needs to have existed, AND the creditor must have known, or ought to have known, at that time that the debtor was unable to meet its payments as and when they fell due.
 
I do not think a customer of Gox was a creditor firstly. And in no way can anyone prove that someone should have known back in 2011 that Gox would be insolvent in 2014. The two events cannot be tied no matter how it all gets twisted.

You're sweet.

MTGox made money on every transaction.  It was a great business model.

It collapsed because a substantial amount of coins went missing.  External theft or internal corruption, we may never know. 

You would get your coins back and they'd be worth 10x more now. Is that a bad thing?

Basically this.  Plus it was reported Gox had almost a million customers, you think they're going to sue a million people?  C'mon.
