How traceable are bitcoins. Suppose Gox released their logs, would it be possible to track when someone tried to offload the stolen bitcoins on one of the major exchanges?
given the alleged value of the stolen coins are in the range of 0.5B USD it's not unreasonable to suspect that some government capacity would investigate this.
If the stolen coins can indeed be detected - how would they go about extracting the value? Seems like a large scale, risky money laundry effort would be needed.
