Fun Fact: MTGox derives from its original acronym usage - "Magic: The Gathering Online Exchange"
How many people just face palmed after they searched it and found out it was true?
Fun fact: the current owner isn't the original owner |

ffs, this is what I get for using GOX Communications... internet won't work.
It's okay, I'm smart. Smart like a GOX.
I often-times think outside the GOX.

They reported it wrong. The "money" that changed hands at Mt Gox is just numbers in a database that can be rolled back, in order for the money to actually be "stolen" it'd have to be cashed out, which to the best of our knowledge it wasn't. Aside from the 200-some BTC cashed out by "Kevin" during the $0.01 exchange rate crash no BTC or USD are known (to us anyway) to have left an actual wallet or bank account. They reported $9 million because the news media consists primarily of pretty but stupid people who are paid to read from a teleprompter paid by the worst researchers that no money will buy (interns). |

these days corporate journalists just make up news instead of reporting it, it's so much easier, and much more entertaining.. |

They all basically seem to be the same. Someone comes up with some completely unsubstantiated reason why MTGOX is going to take their money and run for the hills and then is countered by someone else's completely unsubstantiated claim that MTGOX has no money whatsoever and then he's countered by someone else's completely unsubstantiated claim that everything will work OK, then someone comes in and threatens a class action lawsuit because MTGOX isn't spending all their time on these forums quelling all this speculation. I was happy to derail this thread. This whole forum has been a fascinating window into the extreme frailty of people's reasoning power. BRB I'm going to go sacrifice one of my testicles so that MTGOX will come back on in 11 hrs and 7 minutes because, you know, the whole world might come crashing down if he doesn't come back on then. Oh, and Bitcoins are going to become the global currency replacing the US dollar, no, wait, they're a massive bubble that will implode and have 0 value.
