What if we woke up tomorrow morning and Mtgox.com was GONE?
Notice posted from Department of Homeland Security claiming Mtgox.com was sized by US authorities???
Nobody would be able to get their money or bitcoins out at that moment onward.
That would be a real bummer for many people.
Don't say I didn't warn you all. It could happen at ANYTIME!
Especially now that they have gone after the Dwolla account of Mtgox.
It's not fear mongering, it's common sense.

Why does Bitrebel have 65+ Ignores?
Because Bitrebel says things that some people do not want YOU to hear.

The point is people will read this thread title and think it has happened. Even with the word "possible" I read the thread title and thought something just happened and that the US was trying to shut down mt.gox. |

wake up calls can be a necessary reality. Sorry to spook people, but it's something to consider. I believe it could happen real soon.
Nothing is in the way to stop the US from doing this to them. It could happen in 5 minutes, or 5 hours or 5 days from now.

You revived this thread when the price started climbing. You seem to want cheaper coins. |

You revived this thread when the price started climbing. You seem to want cheaper coins. Who doesn't? But what I posted would cause the price to rise, while people buy, in order to get out of Gox with their bitcoins. Now that dwolla is unavailable, many people want to buy, because they cannot get their money out very easily. Your suspicion is unfounded. I have buys in a low prices and buys in at high ones, too. If it dips, I buy, if it gains, I sell. I'm not partial to the bear or the bull. |

Gox would just instantly establish itself on another domain that could not be seized by the US. If ownership is not stupid, they are already ready for that.

Unfortunately they have proven themselves pretty incompetent time after time. Not exactly a rare occurrence. |

If they were that competent they would have done this already. |

If they were that competent they would have done this already. Eh, not necessarily. Country-code TLD appears shitty and untrustworthy to many unfamiliar with the situation IMO. I have to think that Gox has planned for some contingencies.... it's just a mystery which ones! |

Actually, they can since it's a .com domain, doesn't matter where it was registered.
Only ccTLDs are safe from the US government.

.com is essentially "owned" by the USA, it falls under their jurisdiction. The same way .co.uk does in the UK , .ie - Ireland, .jp - Japan. Although they can't shut down a website if it is hosted in a different country, they can say that because the don't like site "X" they are taking back "their" .com domain name. When they do this, they are basically grasping at straws in order to try and prevent people visiting the website. In never works as people can simply use the IP address the domain points to, the host can simply switch to another TLD (such as .co.uk, .me). |

1. Not gonna happen.
2. Even if it did, it is super easy to route around the damage.
3. Saying that a domain seizure would make everybody lose funds is indeed spreading FUD since clearly loss of a DNS record is not as big of a deal as you seem to think.
