WizSec Were the Chief Investigators of the Mt. Gox Hack.
If You check their Twitter Feed this is what you will see. They have not Tweeted in two years until today. Shit is about to get real exciting in the Bitcoin space. Rumors are flying! My friend Cory thinks it has something to do with BTCe and the shutdown of that exchange. It appears Cory was right, Alexander Vinnik is the chief suspect in the MT. Gox heist.

UPDATE and Post from WizSec.
Breaking open the MtGox case, part 1
Earlier today news broke of an arrest in Greece of a Russian national suspected of running a large-scale money laundering operation focused on Bitcoin. The man has since been publicly identified as Alexander Vinnik, 38, and over $4 billion USD is said to have been trafficked through the operation since 2011.
We won't beat around the bush with it: Vinnik is our chief suspect for involvement in the MtGox theft (or the laundering of the proceeds thereof). This is the result of years of patient work, and these findings were surely independently uncovered by other investigators as well. Everyone who worked on the case have patiently kept quiet while forwarding findings to law enforcement, so as not to tip suspects off and to maximize the chances of arrests.
With such an arrest actually happening, we think today might — finally — be the day when we can begin talking about what we've actually been doing all this time and what we found. Thank you for your patience.
news are out already - http://blog.wizsec.jp/2017/07/breaking-open-mtgox-1.html
Boom that was quick.
I think this is just fake news to indulge the masses. Mark Karpeles and Kim Nillson are still the prime suspects in this theft since only they knew MTGOX private addresses so far. They were fast to announce the thief and thought that he was the owner of BTCE, which he was not. BTCE will be back soon.

Do you think a one world government is a good thing?
Ow do you think they will close it?
Close what?
Thanks @hilarski for sharing this news.. I guess they are delaying the information in order create a sentiment and bring the BTC price down and buy cheap BTC for themselves.
cryptos are the most entertaining "thing" I have ever discovered...
I hope this goes somewhere. I lost a lot of money with Mtgox.
whats are the new big news @hilarski from security group
We are waiting for it.
tanks for sharing the information
@hilarski,
Thanks dude! This is really useful information! Keep in touch with your channel also!
Cheers~
I'm so exited :o
It would be logical if it had something to do with the shutdown of the exchange yes
Yup, Updated
;)
Do you mean Bitcoin is probably gonna continue to go down?
I didn't say that. BTCe is an exchange in Russia that has recently gone offline.
Your information is very good and very thankful for your efforts @momochsim

Mr.) your posts are flawless!
Thanks for the twitter link, should be interesting
Lets hope this pays off...
Great. I don't have a bitcoin wallet duo. But im planning to have one.
Im not sure I understand the potential consequences of this.
Would this be positive or negative for Cryptos/Bitcoin if they shut down this exchange?
I will check your blog everyday for updates in this.. I'm just curious. thanks for keeping us updated
About to do a happy dance in my Black Canary costume lol
@hilarski, thanks for keeping us up to date!

http://blog.wizsec.jp/2017/07/breaking-open-mtgox-1.html NEW UPDATE FROM TWITTER :D
The details of this investigation could impact positively or negatively for Bitcoin directly and for all cryptocurrencies indirectly. Whatever gets exposed could be enough to show a security flaw. Hopefully, Bitcoin already has resolved any and all potential security risks, as well as the alt-coins.
What in the hell... Oh whatever i'll just wait it out. It will be fine.
I can't believe it has been two years and they have returned.
Let's see what happens with this story about Alexander Vinnik.
It sounds like something intriguing despite the fact of the $4 billion USD being trafficked
This is big guys thing ... let's see what's going to happen

Hi Randy - this post is over my head as are most things crypto. I see this as the wild, wild west and I am the little lady currently hiding up in the loft learning the details of steemit and ignoring shoot outs on the money side as long as I can.
Today I am referring my old tsuser friends to kalemandra's new post so you can go check in and let everyone know you are here and active. Lord knows we need you and your deep knowledge!

Thanks for all your support here and good to see you on twitter too. I have pretty good reach there and will get into a groove of RTing in a week or two. Never did I think another social media platform could consume me like tsu did but here I am - madly swimming!
That's a lot of money laundered. Thanks for this information.
Oh man that freaking
Things are about to get hot.
