I didn't lose any of my coins in Gox so I'm ok with being called cute. The big "uncovering" is that people are acting like Mt. Gox was fort knox, which it should have been but couldn't have been expected to be considering it's long history of negligence. It's those assumptions that always get you.

I'm surprised you all are so surprised! Seems pretty apparent to me why Mark is so casual about all that money you lost..  The guy started an exchange for Bitcoins when they were worth practically nothing. All of the sudden his system gets slammed, the bitcoin he now is responsible for is worth millions.. it was just a Magic the Gathering trading website. For you "investors" that is a fantasy game some of us anti social people play that allows us to be POWERFUL WIZARDS. In the game you keep your cool when making moves to win. When I see mark, I see a hundred other anti social, intelligent people playing magic. His mistake was not seeking help when the fire started..  but can you expect more? This is a game that turned real, some aren't equip to make that transition from fantasy to reality. If anything his con was putting up all that marketing material that made his company seem prepared and credible. He should stand behind the marketing promises. If the the ID numbers were changed as a fix by other nodes and the Gox database of coin owners is scrambled someone needs to get in their and do the work to trace the black chain and restore the ownership of those "lost" coins. Shutting down the mess seems a good way to start unraveling the mess. Mark you get an F for not hiring a PR person.
