can people please stop posting IRC logs. it's poorly formatted and is without context so we literally have no idea what we are reading.

To summarize:
someone is offering a service to produce faked Gox account pages. I would imagine that Gox isn't fooled by that, and the purpose is to some how use it in a scam by selling the right to that faked account at a discount on this forum.

So just be careful if someone are offering you to take over their Gox claim very cheap, and presume they are lying.

Are you kidding me?
They, on IRC, were discussing that the provided login is worth nothing, because all you can do with it is create a screenshot and print that out. A screenshot, however, can easily be faked to have whatever numbers you like.
marcusw is making a joke, that's all I can see.
And seriously, who would throw any good money behind money lost on MtGox?
