A leading trading site management company "bit coin (BTC = Bitcoin)" virtual currency on the Internet, the 20th, I had described the company has lost the bankruptcy in February "Mount Ngoc, Inc." The (Tokyo) Of the approximately 850,000 BTC, has announced about 200,000 BTC  has left.

This raises an interesting question.

Assets in BTC / debt in BTC

is not equal to

Assets in fiat / debt in fiat

which means that MtGox may be forced to sell that BTC in order to threat all creditors equal.

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.

well this is good news hopefully they will do the right thing and refund the customers. I am not sure if they are legally responsible to refund customers because didnt they declare bankruptcy not sure on all the laws.
