Breaking news, Mt. Gox is completely down!

I just don't get why they still allow trading. I mean... This makes no sense - just fuels the panic

i think the opposite would bring more fud and thus far more panic, not adding the fact that disabling trading could be reproached to them more than letting it as is.

I'm not so sure. Gox is just operating pretty poorly. It cannot be sustained as it's currently doing.

Gox has been slowly dying since April. And every little thign they have done since then it was just another nail in their coffin.
I'm afraid this was one last stunt they pulled to get some lawyer money.

So now instead of addressing internal problems, they are trying to site a bug within bitcoin itself. I guess its if they go down, they want to try and take the entire ship with it

Gox always blamed a third party for their problems  , even for their slow reactions or shitty press releases.
This time probably they couldn't figure any better excuse , or they did try to  create this panic sell to make one last profit before going down.
