So?

Deal that didn't go through isn't going through?

"Credible silicon valley-backed " exchange sues for $75m because they can't get free customers?

Fuck 'em.

The price already fell.

for the price this is extremely good news because US residents wont have to fill shitloads of papers and forms

Los desesperados publican que lo inventó el rey que rabió, porque todo son en el rabias y mas rabias, disgustos y mas disgustos, pezares y mas pezares; si el que compra algunas partidas vé que baxan, rabia de haver comprado; si suben, rabia de que no compró mas; si compra, suben, vende, gana y buelan aun á mas alto precio del que ha vendido; rabia de que vendió por menor precio: si no compra ni vende y ván subiendo, rabia de que haviendo tenido impulsos de comprar, no llegó á lograr los impulsos; si van baxando, rabia de que, haviendo tenido amagos de vender, no se resolvió á gozar los amagos; si le dan algun consejo y acierta, rabia de que no se lo dieron antes; si yerra, rabia de que se lo dieron; con que todo son inquietudes, todo arrepentimientos, tododelirios, luchando siempre lo insufrible con lo feliz, lo indomito con lo tranquilo y lo rabioso con lo deleytable.

I agree that it's good news for US residents.

Now you can go back to using Mt. Gox directly if you want instead of the prospect of being forced to go through coinlab instead.

The whole situation is quite funny, because it illustrates how many conflicts of interest there were with this deal.

Now you have the Executive Director of the bitcoinfoundation, suing the bitcoinfoundation platium member Mt Gox for 75 Million dollars...who's owner also sits on the bitcoinfoundation board

I can imagine the bitcoinfoundation board meetings are a tad awkward.

Assumptions:

1. users will want to take their savings the f*ck out, for fear their assets will be frozen otherwise.
2. Most users are, at best, verified status so they can't take out more than 100 btc/day or 10000 usd or eur /day. And not more than 50000 usd or eur per month anyway.

Assumption 2 will slow down the exodus of cash/coins.

Scenario 1: people try to get their cash out. Lots of fiat is removed from the market. Queues for withdrawals go up to the roof, and so do withdrawal delays. The removal of cash from the market causes utter price drops.

Scenario 2: people try to avoid delays in scenario 1 and try to get their btcs out to a different exchange. Price spiking in the long term due to the race to buy btcs and get the f out asap. (Bit like bitcoin-24 last days before official news of bank account being frozen).

A lot of US individuals are currently sleeping,this will definitely have an affect on the price and expect a major sell-off.

the lawsuit does not give coinlab the legal right to take people's money. mtgox does not OWN that money. they can go after mtgox's money though

The question is if MtGox will need additional cash for the process and start selling bitcoins for it.

I unfortunately disagree.  Sad an exchange is not much different from a bank. With the difference that it's backed by no legislation to protect us.
Our Gox balance (fiat, btc) is money that Gox owes us. We are, in fact, Gox creditors. Guess what happens if Gox goes bankrupt...

the difference is that banks LEND out your money (fractional reserve) they don't have people's money on hand.
it is legal and this is why they run out of money when people start defaulting on loans.
mtgox does not lend out coins or cash so everything they keep is 1:1
that money is not theirs
it's like NASDAQ being sued and them selling peoples' shares in stocks is a better example - can't happen.

when a bank gets suedthey are supposed to pay out of their money unless they are allowed to lend to themselves (which i'm not sure)

But it COULD all be seized by the police and released only after a lengthy legal process.

more or less retired.
