You cannot compare Silk Road and ENRON in the same thread.
One was awesome, and functioned well to bring freedom and disenable the gangster power. It was captured by its enemy.
The other was made to be destroyed on purpose and fuck people all the way down.
SR was good and is a viable brand.
Gox and ENRON are garbage brands now. On accident?

I don't think so. People still use Silk Road 2.0 even though Silk Road 1.0 busted by the FBI and they seize all coins.
Coz Silk road didn't 'tarnish' their name - the FBI did. Do'h.
Coz Mt Gox didn't 'tarnish' their name - the Fat F*ck did. Do'h. He owns Mt Gox ... Do'h. |

A story about Mark K... Just few changes should be done to really tell this could be Mark K. Words 'dump criminals' should be changes to "people" ... |

He owns Mt Gox ... Do'h.
So the problem is with the owner. Now with Mt Gox. Different owner and management make different story. |

It blew my mind that people were using it for the last 5 months. I wouldn't say that. If they clearly distance themselve from all personell and start fresh with a completely new and safe software and provable nonfractional reserve. I would use them then! |

Gox.com The name Hitler is very popular too haha. I'd say the Gox name has a tarnished rep now. I don't really think it'd be a good idea re-open under that brand. |

But the fact is, most people associate the disaster with the CEO and not the brand. Mark might be literally hitler, but gox is not. But we will see. If they will be liquidated, the trademark and domain will be sold, and i bet my ass a new Mtgox will be opend within weeks of liquidation. |

Karpeles, MtGox More like Hitler<>Germans Karpeles<>MtGox But looks like I am the only one, that doesn't associate any emotions with a company (legal entity) but rather with the staff/owners |

maybe based on the fact that "processing withdrawals" implies that 100% of the funds arrive at someones BTC address or bank account? That won't happen! |

http://www.zdnet.com/nab-severs-ties-with-risky-bitcoin-vendors-7000028279/#ftag=RSS14dc6a9[...] NAB has never banked or traded in digital currencies, but has provided banking services to companies who do. Confirming the move, a spokesman said: "NAB continually reviews its risk profile and the businesses we bank, ensuring NAB's activities are in the best interest of our customers and our shareholders." The decision follows recent moves by the Bank of Ireland and the Bank of Montreal to distance themselves from customers who trade in digital currencies.
It also comes a month after Japanese bank Mizhuo was named in US and Canadian lawsuits brought against the bankrupt Mt Gox exchange, to whom it provided banking services.
Mt Gox, the world's biggest exchange, announced in February it had been robbed of all its Bitcoins in a massive cyber attack.One of Australia's largest Bitcoin traders, CoinJar, which uses NAB to take deposits from clients, said in a blog post it was disappointed with the decision, adding it would affect many other companies. ..."News" people and the public, continue to be fobswaggled. "News" at 11. edit keyword: massive cyber |

http://www.coindesk.com/investor-group-offers-buy-mt-gox-one-bitcoin/"A group of investors has offered to buy bankrupt Japan-based bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox, as part of a bid that will require the approval of its Japanese bankruptcy court. (...) The Wall Street Journal reported that the investor group would assume all of Mt. Gox’s liabilities and obligations. (...) Creditors will have two options. They can either receive a prorated amount from the 200,000 bitcoins recovered by Mt. Gox equal to roughly 20 percent of their claim, or obtain an equity stake of that amount in the revitalized Mt. Gox exchange. The investor group pledged to set aside 50% of transaction fees to pay back creditors over time." That's interesting although I am not sure how likely this could happen. Under this scenario, I wonder what happens to people who have fiat at Gox, will they get 0%, 20% or 100%?
