OR someone is trying to kill the pool by withholding shares that meet the network difficulty.

The keypool can only be used to pregenerate future keys. Setting it to zero means that you're change will be sent to an address that previously would not have been in your wallet. It won't disable the creation of keys.
All of this nonsense should be resolved once we switch to using deterministic keys that have the anonymity benefits of using a new key, but also the benefits of only having to back up your wallet once.

This is number 4 for you, is that right? If I were you, I'd just stop, because your scam detector must be broken.
Or... Much more likely, you are lying.

So about these bots........ can you do something about them?
Have you lodged this with Gox, or just here on the forum? Either way, MagicalTux has now seen it. By his non-response, I suspect that nothing will be done.

It is a complete lie. We DO know that they likely lost everything in holding, if things were as he'd want them to seem. However, people haven't seen Bitcoins move from their deposit address, when they should have been sent to either the hacker or cold storage. Under no circumstance would it have made sense that they didn't move, unless this was all a hoax to appear like they were hacked so that they could force everyone to remove their funds, allowing them to blend in during the mass-withdrawal to make off with half the coins.
He didn't say they lost everything, he said "Large amount from 1 pool holdings", saying large amount doesn't mean all fromt hat pool holding. I'm not going by what he said, I'm going by what happened. For about a day before the site went down, withdrawals would fail. That only happens in two cases: bitcoind was down, or the online wallet was out of money. He knew that, so he could fake it.

Dear god. This is GENIUS! You know that people are watching the Bitcoins they sent to mybitcoin, so to safely spend them, you give half of them back so it's impossible to know which withdraws are legit and which were stolen.
HAHAHA!! Great! But why half? They could just give back 10% or so, it would have the same effect??!? . If they give back too little, their story seems more fishy. Half is a perfect balance with this.

So, let me get this straight: I finally do what everyone has been asking for and you get mad?

Thanks a million for the replies guys! The drive is well and truly formatted over unfortunately, but lesson learned. Maybe $30 loss.. which is not peanuts to me but not jump-off-a-bridge level either. Did you at least try the link I posted above?

Posting a topic in Bitcoin Discussion is one of the least effective ways of getting my attention...
It worked! It didn't. I saw the spam in recent unread, messaged theymos SEVERAL times, and deleted as fast as I could until he saw it.

Someone should move his account and all his posts to /dev/null
Done.

Do they ever ban anyone? I thought all they did was put a scammer tag on you and let you run around happily.
He got banned, if you check his posts have a XXXXX rated As far as I know, he wasn't banned. Scamming is not a bannable offense, as it doesn't speak to the value of your posts. You'll just be clearly marked as a scammer to protect idiots that don't read into post histories. That said, nobody should ever be dependent on that protection, if they enjoy keeping their money. now I getting curios who is bannable at this point? btw: thank you for call me Idiot! Mainly trolls and spammers are banned. And I didn't call you an idiot, as there was nothing in his post history at the time that showed that he was a scammer, just accusations. I was referring to people who would get scammed by someone who was already confirmed to be a scammer.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with this post. Tasty is too much of a troll. Lucky for him, I don't have ban powers.

So there's no way to automize the potential of "squatting" on someone else's keys? Or it's not worth the effort because the chances are incredibly slim?
It's not worth the effort. You will see significantly more profit if you just mine.
