I suspect Gox is looking for coins they don't have. Typical consequence for doing fractional reserve bitcoining.

Not really sure what the exact extent of the issue is or what the exact issue is for that matter.. but for sure it isn't looking good at all... mtgox website is down for me as well.

This reminds me of how Germany asked for their gold back from the US Fed Res.. and they got a reply of it'll take 7+ years... yeah like hell they'll get it all...

So basically he wasted an air ticket from Australia to Japan and 3 days to find out nothing more than was already available in the press release?

It was down yesterday for all but seems to be working ok now.

This is quite bizarre behaviour. Did he go straight home after the 3 days? He could've at least made a holiday out of it.

It's very different when you get to meet in person those who run the show... so would imagine it was a different sort of "satisfaction" for him.. he did mention that he's glad he visited them in person. See, we don't know how many bitcoins he has with them..could be many or could be few but he did what he thought he had to

Yea the site was down for me for around 4+ hrs atleast.

He got to attend to Tokyo bitcoin meetup there i believe where he shared his story with the local bitcoiners
