Those are the weekend stories. It's going to be even worse for Mt. Gox on Monday, when the financial papers are back at work.
Monday's coverage was bad enough, but Monday was a holiday in the US and the financial papers didn't publish. Tuesday, reporters will be back at work.
The Wall Street Journal is now asking the right question - is Mt. Gox broke? Karpeles has been stonewalling the WSJ reporters, UPI, NHK (the biggest TV network in Japan) and the South China Morning Post. Each of those outlets reports that Mt. Gox refuses to discuss their financial stability and questions whether Mt. Gox is in financial trouble. There's talk of the Bank of Japan becoming involved.
Mt. Gox is the 4th most popular story on UPI right now. This isn't going away.
This is playing out like Enron, Lehman, and Madoff. Trouble, denial, excuses, stonewalling, more trouble. We're close to the point where law enforcement gets involved.
