Wow - I never realized the scale of the Mt. Gox one. Wiki says they lost 855,000 BitCoin, which at current prices are around $8.5 billion USD.

It doesn’t make sense to use the current price for something that happened several years ago when the price was much lower.

4% of all BitCoin that will ever exist.

202K bitcoins were recovered by the trustee and Mark Karpeles.
