Everybody is waiting for *anything* coming straight from MK or Gox at this point, but in our desperation for information we shouldn't run to any old garbage for speculation. Both the BS "leak" and slightly over-conspicuous redundant HTML comment are insufficient to form any solid hypothesis. None of it makes sense right now.

Exactly, there's just no information at all out there. I'm totally confused right now, why the hell don't they release a statement already, ugh. |

That thing would not get a D minus on a good day. Being an international company means you can't put out fucking shit releases like that ...whiie making millions in exchange fees.

The recovery is maxed out for now. It's going to take at least a day to consolidate and break $520 if not longer.
The market is far from rational right now. I doubt this will be our last time going past $500 again. The fact that this recovery is occurring at super speed is shocking. We'll be sub $400 within days. We'll be testing $300 before we start meaningful sustained upwards movement again. Source? Shroomskit, I've been noticing you over the past couple of days and you're like a chicken with it's head removed. If you are unable to form an opinion of your own, it might be in your best interest to stop trading and decide once and for all: HODL or SODL... I don't trade you idiot. I just find it interesting how all these people seem to exactly know what's gonna happen in the future. And welcome to my ignore list. |

Three ways MtGOX could have lost most of their clients' coins:
1. MtGOX's CEO thought that it was stupid to keep 500 kBTC locked in cold wallets without generating any revenue. So he sold most of those coins off-market and invested the money into stocks or whatever, minus a small reserve to honor BTC withdrawals; confident that if he needed more, he could just sell the stock and buy back the coins. But that was when 1 BTC was 100 USD. After the price exploded and finally settled at 800 USD, even selling all the stock he could buy back only 1/8 of his clients' coins.
2. MtGOX was actually a bitcoin ponzi. They kept the price 10% above market so new investors would bring in mostly BTC in (rather than USD). A MtGOX agent would buy those real BTCs for (say) 110 virtual goxUSD, then sell the BTCs at other exchanges for 100 real USD. MtGOX used some of that money to execute USD withdrawals, and pocketed the rest. Like any ponzi, the method worked as long as they had lots of investors coming in and few USD withdrawals. The ponzi unraveled when that situation got reversed, and/or when MtGOX bought thousands of BTC from new investors at over 1000 USD and the price crashed before they could sell them.
3. MtGOX accidentally deleted the private keys to some or all of their cold wallets.
I find it hard to believe that a significant number of coins could have been stolen by hacker exploiting the malleability bug, oer six months, with clients complaining loudly all the time, without MtGOX realizing it. I find it easier to believe that MtGOX put or failed to fix that bug on purpose, because it gave them an excuse to stall BTC withdrawals. (The image of Jerry Lundegaard in /Fargo/, trying to fool the bank auditor with illegible faxes, keeps coming to my mind.) I find it also easy to believe that MtGOX and acomplices friends are now trying to spread that "hacker stole it all" story in order to avoid an investigation of MtGOX that could result in criminal charges.
I have seen reasoned estimates that put MtGOX's debt to their clients (the sum of the balances in all their accounts) at 1 billion dollars or more. Even if they lost only a fraction of that...

Gox.com 10 minutes ago What do you think about our logo? In our opinion, the change depicts the fresh start, the new possibilities. With rebranding, we will no longer be just about a Bitcoin market — we have many ideas to deploy on the cryptocurrency landscape. Stay tuned! The above is their new post on facebook.... it's clear to me at least is fake..... https://www.facebook.com/goxbitcoin |
