Notes -
A bit of a tangent, but somewhat related.
Remember Mt Gox? The famous bitcoin trading site that had a big chunk of its coins stolen.
As the the company went through Japanese bankruptcy courts, a years long process, it's bitcoin reservers were sold to pay off depositors. But depositors were owed the JPY value of the BTC accounts at the time the site had closed off. The value of BTC had skyrocketed. As a result, even after penalties and fees, there are millions of dollars leftover.
The courts have been trying to give the money to the owner of Mt Gox, but he doesn't want to accept it. He's afraid of the Yakuza and other organized crime outfits who got lost BTC in the bankruptcy.
So I'd assume it would end up going to shareholders.
