CoinLab suing MtGox for $75 milliion?

[repentance]

Dito Can't get in either.

Do they try to prevent panic selling?

More likely there's a run of people rushing to withdraw and it's overloading their system.  Their response times are pretty shitty on weekends anyway.

For anyone having issues, you can try:

clicking on "trade", you will then be prompted for your pw and username.

This is an alternative to using the pw/username widget (until it is working again)

Alternately, www.mtgox.com/login works (thanks, INAU!)

I've only heard people's pet theories that they do by slowing down user access during panic selling periods but I reckon it's just their kit being overloaded.

Can't sign in from the UK. Works fine on my phone using the mobile site though.

I'm still reading, but so far, it looks like the suit will likely be tossed.  The contract will likely be nullified.

Your bank, brokerage, etc, etc, can't just sell your account to someone else, and a contract to do so would not be valid.  There are complicated hoops that you have to jump through for that.

What a dumb way to prevent their users to login... Another proof of mtgox's professional coding skills.

Can't login either from Canada using Chromium and Firefox.

http://www.mtgox.com/login is working.

Was able to panic withdraw by going to the above login link. Thx.

Yes, unless all compliance issues in all countries were resolved, the contract is void. Also they can file they all want in USA, MTgox has no exposure in USA.

I can see the terrible headlines already.

Same nonsense spread by "doom and gloom" bears again, I and many others have seen gox becoming slugox when price went up countless times.

Confirmed.  The problem seems to center on the LOGIN script on the main landing page.

Is anyone from outside the USA able to login from the main landing page?  Or does the script error on the main landing page affect everyone, regardless country?

I am sure there are hoops, but they can certainly sell your account to someone else -- and without any input or say-so from you, the customer.  This has occurred to many of us who have had the misfortune to bank at a brick-and-mortar bank -- only to see it bought up by a mega-bank.

U.S. federal district courts are where you sue international parties.

Surely you see the difference.  Selling an account is one thing.  Selling a bank is a whole 'nother story.

Main page started to work just fine.

Not the first time the login on the front page has broke, just saying. Whenever they are under high load the ajax stuff starts to time out.
