My friend's account at Mt Gox was successfully claimed by *someone else*.

[calista]

he think he had about $1500 in his account but he wasn't sure.

anyway he tried to claim his account, but got an email from mt gox that his request failed.

then someone else (the thief) emailed him gloating that he took over my friend's account, with a screenshot of mt gox's email to the hacker that the hacker successfully claimed the account.

my friend is furious and tried to contact mt gox but got no replies.

he is seriously thinking at this point to go to japan to set things right.

Hmmm.  My success notification was not in an email (had to click through), and neither the email nor the recovery site with confirmation identifies the account name. 

Sounds phishy to me.

maybe he needs help from some real professionals?

You stole your friends account then made a post about it to make yourself look innocent.

That sounds like a good plan.
Go to Japan, find Mr. Karpeles and talk to him.
I'm sure everything will be o.k.

I think calista's friend must getz the internetz and postz his own bullshitz threads.

Clearly if his friend cant afford to post here by himself, he had no interest in his $1500 and clearly if his friend cared about $1500 he wouldnt waste $5000 to fly to japan lolboat issa trolling.

Besides the fact that a trip to Japan will cost a heck of a lot more than the measly $1500 he had in his account...

Someone hasn't been in the outside world very long. No concept of money, cost of various things, etc.
