BTC Recovery Case - DOJ holding BTCe laundered MTGOX coins

The Stolen assets rightfully must be returned to their original legal owners. These assets were seized unjustly and the due process to return them is painfully silent.

After the Bankruptcy filing of MTGOX, a plan to devise a recovery through Japanese courts was announced. When will the US courts be used to formulate a larger, swifter, distribution of the estimated 300K (?) coins laundered through BTCe?

Looks like there are law firms in place for "BTC-e victims" however complicated this is. Selling stolen property to an innocent victim doesn't let that innocent victim have 100% claim on the asset they were promised. They get a claim on their missing funds. The original owner of the stolen asset gets a claim on the stolen asset.

Any word from Magicaltux on this?
