Not to mention that you would have to be an idiot to keep 45K in an on-line account that has no terms and conditions etc.
I see only 3 possible reasons: You've a lot of cash, so 45K is nothing for you. You think you found a great place to stash it (***eediot!***) You're stupid. EDIT: Here however there's something I've to give to mtgox. If a guy out of the blue puts 45K on my hand I would be over suspicious either. As a thing we use to say around: «When the dole is too big, the saint gets suspicious» But mtgox said the transaction involved stolen BTCs, not USD; that's why I can't image how come he was able to collect 45K USD worth of BTC; unless some of it was legit. Anyawy, I am sure mtgox has a very good reason for what he's doing and have a great deal of trust for him. I don't collect 45 000 USD worth of BTC. this is USD balance in my mtgox.com account, to witch I deposited funds using liberty reserve.

We have very limited information here, hence plenty of space for all kind of speculations, and mtgox has none to blame for this but themselves. Too bad that this indirectly damages bitcoin reputation and economy, hopefully only temporarily.
This is what I find of concern too.

Did they mean you got in possession of LR selling stolen BTC?

So far actions of mtgox is not really very consistent with what they should have done if they were acting to comply with usual money laundering regulations. (they do differ from country to country, so I might not know some details and it is not even clear which law is applicable here, costa-rican, US, mythical bitcoin common law or something else). Generally, in case of money laundering procedure mtgox should not have said anything at all on this forum, but they did said a few words along the lines "we are trying to contact him and looking into this".
Again. Not much information available hence lots of space for speculation.
Exactly. I think mtgox should make a statement; and something more descriptive than one sentence.

Baron, if you want to convince us, I suggest you start at the beginning and explain in detail how you came into possession of large amounts of LRUSD and/or BTC. So far, I don't think you've done a very good job painting a coherent picture. because someone sends to my bitcoin (not mtgox.com account) account stolen money. What? That doesn't even make sense. Mtgox would not know that someone sent stolen Bitcoin to your non-mtgox address.

Must have been a significant amount of BTC then to get him to freeze your account; plus if you are offering 3,000 USD just to forget about the whole case (I know 3,000$ is nothing to you just like 45,000$ ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ). But I assure you, I am not in Africa; plenty of people in the UK make less than that per year.

because someone sends to my bitcoin (not mtgox.com account) account stolen money. What? That doesn't even make sense. Mtgox would not know that someone sent stolen Bitcoin to your non-mtgox address. +1 no sense at all... As for Baron to have to justify himself... I don't think these folks aren't dealing with PayPal and regular banks for no reason. That point is valid for both ends, taken mtgox also pays out by LR. Nevertheless Baron is casting big accusations against one of the "core sites" for Bitcoin exchange, put to stake the whole Bitcoin along with mtgox's reputation. This concerns me... I gave up bitcoin too soon, as it seams, now seams I'm rejoining it too late. *sighs*... ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif)

Baron,
May I suggest the following:
1. To comply with mtgox request to see scan of your passport (if there was such request). 2. Be prepared to explain origin of of any funds involved with documents to prove as much as possible (maybe not to mtgox but to authorities). 3. Talk to a lawyer in your jurisdiction and in mtgox jurisdiction, whatever it is. First consultation with a lawyer is often free.
To bad we do not have any coherent statements from mtgox. Even something as simple as "we are acting in compliance with laws of such and such jurisdiction" would better than nothing, but obviously the more factual information is provided the better.
Appalling luck of mtgox public relation skills hurts all bitcoin community.
I am ready to send passport scan to lawyer , but not to mtgox.com , because I can't trust him anymore. I was talking with mine lawyer he advice me solve this situation peacefully.
