Without commenting on the veracity of any of this, what I took from Karpeles' statement was that all of his personal bitcoin was being held as MtGoxBTC, and, since the exchange was physically offline, he was not able to access it at the moment.  I'm too lazy to dig up a reference but that reading seemed to me to be pretty clear from the full context of the IRC log.  That conversation took place before the announcement about bankruptcy and before the 750k number was mentioned.  The 750k, again as I understood it, was lost by MtGox the company.

IIRC Karpeles declined to comment on how much personal BTC he held (specifically, IIRC he claimed not to be sure).

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

$113m in Gox Bitcoins Believed To Be Moving Through Block Chain

"Large amounts of bitcoins previously handled by Mt Gox, which have lain dormant for years, have started moving on the block chain."
