  I don't know about "escaping all consequences,"
  unless his idea of "escaping all consequences" 
  is having to watch his back for the rest of his
  life.
If I had stolen a few hundred million dollars from mtgox users and disappeared, my policy would be simple: Anyone who tracks me down and puts a gun in my mouth can have ten times their losses refunded, if they tell me how they found me. Twice their losses up front, eight times after they let me get safely away. The guy with the gun chooses the address to send the refund to.

I doubt more than 5% of mtgox investors have the losses, the stomach and the connections to get me murdered. So I'd still have 50% of the money left over at the end.



alternatively, the guy with the gun will just want everything and you are left with nothing.

I think you might be overestimating the leverage you have with just your BTC


If someone has a gun to your head you're not really in a position to set terms. What do you get at the end? A life.


.001% is enough...
