Thanks for explaining what happened, in layman's terms.
Wow, this just got weirder, eh? Makes me wonder if it's even real, or was some of this scripted beforehand? Perhaps only reality could be this bizarre.
EDIT:
"The White Knight thought this through well.
Q: Where can you send the stolen funds that is safe from another hard fork by Justin's sock puppets?"
Woops! That didn't age well, did it? Predictably, Bittrex doesn't want to touch the funds, which are basically a legal hot potato, nor will they do what was asked (return them to the 64 rightful owners). The White Knight didn't think that through well at all.
