Why can't we see internal Mtgox.com transfers?

[renfr]

I made a transfer of coins between two gox accounts but when I lookup on blockchain at the address to which the coins was sent, I see nothing, blockchain says the address wasn't used on the network, strange... and yet the coins did move from one account to another.

Any reason for that?

Note : I made the transfer after gox suspended withdrawals but before their website shut down

Internal transfers, like most exchanges, occur off-net.

You answered your own question.

Internal transfers, like most exchanges, occur off-net.

But they still have a txid, shouldn't they appear on the network?

Those IDs may look like Bitcoin TxID but they are not. Internal TXs are just account clearing process done in their database.

I see, thanks for the info.
