Am I the only person who thinks its crazy enough to believe that mark karpeles invented bitcoins under the alias "Satoshi Nakamoto" while living in japan. Then created Mt Gox with full knowledge of how this 'currency' works and then orchestrated the 'hack' to run away with millions of dollars? Sounds crazy i know but if you think about the fact that Mark is a php developer (& renowned hacker if you wanna check out his blog
http://blog.magicaltux.net/) who moved to japan years ago right around the time btc was invented then to think Mt Gox is a japanese company being run by mark that then gets 'hacked' even though the site was created/maintained by a self-named hacker?
Now I'm not one for conspiracies and everything i wrote above is pure speculation not to be seen as fact or truth in any way but in theory it is very possible to start this currency, start the biggest (&best) exchange, then fake a hacking to make out w/ millions while keeping everyone in suspense.
Once again pure speculation not to be taken as fact and for all we know this entire hack was a true story and mt gox will resume normal operations within hours, but it would @ the very least make an interesting story
