Ask HN: A while back I lost a couple of BC when Mt. Gox went down, am I SOL?

2 pointsby donovanh9 anni fa4 comments

Yes I'm an idiot, I kept a couple of coin with MtGox rather than moving it to a wallet. When the site was hacked a few years ago it seemed it was lost, then I got some email instructions through the bankruptcy proceedings and submitted my claim, but they came back and said they could find no record.

I have evidence of my original cash transfer (a confirmation email from MtGox) and my username. Does anyone with experience of this know how I should proceed or am I out of options to follow up on this at this point?

You could have filed a claim in their bankruptcy but the deadline was years ago. https://www.mtgox.com/ (scroll down)

I believe I did file a claim then but it came back empty. At the time it was only a few hundred dollars and not worth putting too much time into pursuing (or so I naively thought). Been having sleepless nights recently wondering what if so thought I’d ask here in case anyone knew of other ideas.

Edit: I found an old response and yes, it was rejected as the amount I put in wasn't found. It's tough as I don't recall the exact amount of BTC I had in the account.

You're fucked, obviously.

I thought as much. Ah well!
