Ah, OK< that's going to make it a lot easier.
I have looked at C code derived fro assembler, and its almost impossible to read, al the variables are just place holders because variable names aren't preserved of course. Its a mess.

What Pete said. Seriously. Write it in C# and use any one of the (actually very good) and free converters that are available, for example, http://converter.telerik.com/[^] though you'll probably want one that can suck in a whole VS solution.

I'm not so bothered to be honest. If I do find myself being tied up in the verbosity of it all, I may do some of it in C#. I'm hoping to persuade them that C# is a better choice. But at the end they're paying the bills.

Good luck with that but in my experience VB people love VB and do not want to change.

Know thy pain sir! I am working on an elephant'er at the moment hacked together in VB2013 from what appears to VB6, VB5, Delphi & Others (I keep being told make it stable like it was before you messed with it). Every possible cludge to get it to compile has been done, resulting in something that will fall over in a strong breeze!, but looks the business!!

Two great white sharks swimming in the ocean spied survivors of a sunken ship.
"Follow me son" the father shark said to the son shark and they swam to the mass of people.
"First we swim around them a few times with just the tip of our fins showing." And they did.
"Well done, son! Now we swim around them a few times with all of our fins showing." And they did.
"Now we eat everybody." And they did.
When they were both gorged, the son asked, "Dad, why didn't we just eat them all at first? Why did we swim around and around them?"
His wise father replied, "Because they taste better without the sh*t inside!"

You missed the bit where the father shark said, "Then we swim round them humming daah da daah da"

So THAT'S where the eerie music comes from! 
I hadn't realised it before, but sharks actually seem to be quite musical[^]...

No, the second circling is to give time for the ocean to wash them off. 
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

It doesn't say much about their accounting practices that they misplaced 200K bitcoins.
The whole bankruptcy of MtGox is suspect in my opinion.

OK - I'm clearly a simpleton but I'd have thought the whole block-chain thing would mean that you could uniquely identify the stolen bitcoin, and who spent them and who received them?

That is what I thought too, but that would make the stolen ones useless. Apparently there is a way around the block-chain.

Block-chain or not, with the anonymity of Bitcoin, some poor slob accepts one for payment on a widget. Do you then punish him for accepting the stolen coin? To much time passed.
I thank that they should have just nuked the entire lot of them right away. That would have taken coins out of circulation, value bumped up for everyone else, etc. But because of how MtGox handled the situation and delayed telling people about it for months, that would have given whoever took them a lot of time to shuffle them around and launder them.
OT: Who trusts a group of guys who name their 'bank' MtGox? That name was originally used for "Magic: The Gathering Online eXchange"? That is like buying a car from "Bob's Caveat Emptor Used Car Emporium"

I thought that was the alternate name for all used car businesses.

Most of them it is just implied. When the explicitly tell you they will rip you off and you still buy the car... then you deserve it.
