Hacked Bitcoinica site did not have backups

There was an article that Bitcoinica was recently hacked, virtual currency was stolen for about $ 87,000, and all users were promised that the funds would be returned to their accounts and no one would leave deprived.

So, on Saturday, one of the developers said that they have no database backups, and they have no idea how to figure out exactly how much money anyone had in their account.

- Sorry for the delay in replying. In general, we have no backups.

I was hoping that someone else would be able to clarify all the details, because personally I don’t have much information and I would not like to mislead you. As I understand it, there are no backup copies of databases. There are only partial accounting records, but with their help it is difficult to understand something. In general, even if it is possible to recover all the information on users and on account balances, then it will still be necessary to correctly connect each user with a specific account. For now, this seems like a monstrous puzzle.
