Mt. Gox is based out of Japan. Makes me wonder why so many people keep yaking on about FBI, CIA, "Felony charges"... It is very amusing to see.

Bitcoin is international.

This does not appear to be true.

Is the owner a US Citizen?  Is his website accessible in the USA?

Don't know, ask him, he his around. The previous owner is from New York, so for the previous yes, for the actual no idea.
Yes, it is. Accessible and being served from the USA.

EDIT: Noticing the site is served from Florida, can't we call Horatio Cane and his sunglasses on this?

It was more rhetorical than anything else. 

There is significant case law in the USA which permits law enforcement to go after people based on where the website is accessible, rather than where the server is located.
