I lost $500 when Bitcoinica went bankrupt in 2012. My entire claim is in USD. However, there is a chance that I will get back significantly more than $500 IF they decide to treat lost bitcoins at the 2012 market value price (and decide to reimburse all creditors with the entirety of the assets). If they do this, then there is a huge surplus and I could get as much as $100,000 - $500,000!

I think they are getting back 20% of the 100k bitcoin they are owed, so that is 20k bitcoin or currently $500+ million USD. (This depends on how much MtGox is reimbursing users - what's the MtGox repayment rate at?)

(This also has USD creditors getting back 100% - so that could a precedent for what I'll get).

Also if I actually have a legal case, and anyone knows a good lawyer - hit me up.
