They lost 800,000 in the hack. They currently have 137,000 coins to distribute.
I guess the price of each coin has risen quite a bit. Are they able to cover all of their losses?

I think the claimants will have done well at least in fiat terms even though they won’t get all their bitcoin back.

Thats better than nothing.

But more than 600,000 Bitcoins were actually lost, so the ones who really gained are Mt.Gox, I don't think there was any hack, to tell the truth, rather a "self-hack"

Im not saying it is right. It just worked out for them that the value of each bitcoin went up, so they were able to replace everyones fiat...and maybe a little gain. Wouldnt the situation be worse if they werent able to give anything back?

The price of bitcoin in 2014 was between 400 and 800$ more or less, so the investment has multiplied x100 or so, they are returning 1/4 of the bitcoins, so in terms of fiat, everyone is winning.

but it isnt the full 100x.

Of course, if they're not with all the bitcoins back...
