Anyone here thinking about what a great arbitrage opportunity the mtgox discount is creating for the management?

Even if they are insolvent due to scammers defrauding them via the "malleability" issue, clearly they could make a killing right now by buying at $300-$400 from their clients panic-selling, then sell the BTC on another exchange at $550-650.

They control the payments. The bailout is taking place right now.

Thoughts?

If you think they will be doing arbitrage to once again become solvent I suggest you buy some coins for when they open the fund gates
