Why don't you just stop the trading MK?

Clearly the problem of Mt. Gox is hurting the Bitcoin community - yet they still keep trading (a month or so ago they were > 10% above the price of other exchanges as people couldn't get USD out and now they are nearly < 50% below other exchanges because people can't get BTC out).

Wouldn't it be best for the whole community if they just suspended trading until they fix up their software problems?

I think that Mt. Gox is not at all providing *leadership* here but instead is just providing fuel for the conspiracy theorists.

They should have already done that when the goxBTC price fell below 50% of stampBTC price.
But maybe they don't give a shit...

If they are short of fiat it would be very beneficial to allow the price to drop as low as possible to incentivised traders to withdraw bitcoins when they allow it .
