At this point 744,408 BTC are missing due to malleability-related theft which went unnoticed for several years.

Edit: http://www.scribd.com/doc/209050732/MtGox-Situation-Crisis-Strategy-Draft

personally i don't believe that this could happen as there would be checks on the cold wallets if they really burned through that amount. That would add up to 100s of coins every single day of gox's existence. I'm not saying a large amount of funds isn't missing, I just don't believe it could amount to that much.

Also, I can't find the original source for this claim anywhere..just reposts of the claim

Really a ridiculous document.  It appears to be asking the aid of the Bitcoin community so that Mt.Gox can start fresh.

Mt.Gox is just an exchange,  one of many exchanges.  Why should the Bitcoin community care if it goes under?

Gox's website is now offline as well, serving a blank homepage.

Confirmed at 00:27 GMT -3

is this really the end? or could it mean that they are restarting their system (incredible wishful thinking)?

Apparently the Foundation has weighed in:  http://www.businessinsider.com/reports-mtgox-halts-all-trading-2014-2

and its crashing on BitStamp as well,
    Bitcoin price:
    $489.48

good time to transfer funds and wait for the bottom to buy?

I wish I had fiat on other exchanges to buy now.
I think the price reflects that people still believe in BTC, because even after all this shit with Gox, the price is "still" at about $500, imagine what it would be once the confidence comes back...

[infoman]

bit concerned though what regulatory measures this will bring up from different governments,
definitely not good news

[donk4u]

700,000 plus coins poof!

700,000 plus coins poof!

$35M, Jesus!

2nd biggest steal in bitcoin history

[lightfoot]

Oh the Jedi are going to feel this one, that's for sure :-)

Never dull in bit-coin land. And I just got the fans to run quieter on my miners...

700,000 plus coins poof!

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone.

Actually, the document says they'll be out for 1 month and that they had already covered 50% of all coins.  Like I said earlier,  they were trying to cover their short position.

[flyaaaa]

Let's say the draft is real. Would they manage to earn a few btc and pay what they owe?

hi guys

are they seriously gone with our fiat and btc?

[Nagle]

This is the point at which people need to contact the Tokyo Metropolitan Police to report a major fraud. Do this now, so Mark Karpeles' passport can be flagged and he can't leave Japan.
