The only "security problems" they should have are being arrested and a receiver appointed to refund customers properly. The end.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Well you can't blame Gox.
The sight of two gentlemen peacefully protesting with laptops and a webcam would create such a disturbance and riots in the streets that Gox would have to pack up everything and move to a new location.
Karpeles needs to get his fat ass kicked.
at least some people have the balls to go and protest

I for one dont understand the protesters. To be honest there is nothing they can gain from going there, only incur extra losses for paying for travel (say london to Japan costs a bit)
It's not like the company is public and they have shares in it, it's private. Instead of wasting their time up there they should review their legal options.

They will use a flake of snow melting on Mt Fuji as a bloody excuse. Unacceptable.

My guess is that the move has nothing to do with security and that they had to move because they can no longer pay the rent.

Somebody should organize a boycott mtgox campaign. Remove mtgox from indexes, price charts, btc news sites, wallets, etc. Ignore any news that comes out from mtgox. The longer we continue giving press to mtgox, the more the people who will fall victim from depositing to that exchange to buy goxcoins.

It's already in play, but it hasn't gone far enough. There should be a reverse countdown clock everywhere saying something like "No MtGox executives or employees have been arrested since" (2009/10/29 as base date http://www.tokyo-cci.or.jp/english/ibo/2353440.htm)

I think pretty much the only people who use it are done so by force because they've got money stuck there.

My guess is that the move has nothing to do with security and that they had to move because they can no longer pay the rent.
I would find it more likely that the management and other tenants in the multi-tenant office got upset with the demonstration and attention. While it is possible that MtGox is insolvent when it comes to paying out everyone deposits of fiat and BTC, the income from the transaction fee on trades is significant so I would have thought they would use that for rent.

Gox took up four of eight floors. and as pointed out, the demonstrations werent demonstrations at all. they are taking in a million USD a month, thats now, with their reduced market share. there rent is miniscule. i linked their rents in the main bitching thread. rent doesnt touch their monthly income. they cant just move in a day either, they must have had both offices the whole time. but why am i even responding to you trolls?
