This hack happened before the bankruptcy. Can I learn anything from following the movement of the bitcoin after it was withdrawn? Anything at all?

Many have tried, example [Wizsec](http://blog.wizsec.jp), the conclusions are that the trails were obfuscated via mixing, laundering, or simply sold off for cash. [Trails become statistically impossible to trace after going through several Darknet tumblers and cross-chain tumblers.](https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarketsNoobs/wiki/bible/buyer/bitcoin/tumbling)

<p>I understand the short answer is "nothing", but I ask because I've had trouble explaining this to a coworker which made me realize I don't really get it myself.</p>

<p>What information can I glean from following the stolen bitcoin on a blockchain explorer?  1GvfmXt2CKP8QJfw93LNcnNV6KghD5ohVA </p>

<p>How useful is the IP address the withdrawal was made from? IP: 75.110.224.12</p>

<p>Do I have any legal recourse when the company in question is bankrupt, in Japan, and the theft occurred almost five years ago?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

What, if anything, can I do to recover bitcoin that was stolen from my MtGox acct in June, 2013?
