Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Actually many people believe that Mt.Gox is insolvent. The vague press releases are enough for that we don't need anonymous sources.
The author just takes that and turns it into a doomsday mumble about bitcoin per se.

This from his 2 bit blog.
"Things that are said to me that are not explicitly said “on the record” will not be written about in my posts. In the event that we are talking about anything other than a crystal clear interview, or a quote from a public presentation, I will ask whether I can attribute quotes and stories to certain people. In fact, I’ll go a step further, in the event I have enough information to “scoop” a person, company or organization, I’ll only do so if the information is already semi-public and non-damaging."
He must be very sure of the reliability of his source.

A year from now, when we have real professional licensed exchanges in major trade cities, this type of FUD will be rendered almost useless.
You need a license to trade with another human being ? Hahah statists are hilarious, first instinct is always 'let gov't handle it, they'll fix everything' |

It's easy to have no money on Gox, when you have no severe mental retardation.
I wonder would Mark finally have succeeded in killing Bitcoin with this one; he's been trying long enough.

I am afraid of clicking that link as I don't know that website. Everyone should be cautious what links they click on when you deal with Bitcoin related stuff.
Anyway, in regards to this... "news" - it seems that the market reacted to it DRAMATICALLY that's for sure. There are many questions to be asked...
I got one for now - how come the figure is a rounded number? is the OP rounding it for us? or the blogger? because if such a theft accrued... it feels pretty safe to say it wouldn't be such a rounded number.
So, those of you who clicked and saw it... what is the actual exact figure "leaked"?
There is a possibility that someone with deep pockets on Gox asked to "leak" this document to collect cheap coins... who knows...
Anyay, time will tell...
What do you think?

Well don't expect from everyone that's into bitcoin to read bitcointalk or /r/bitcoin. Even wolphram alpha uses mtgox for their bitcoin data... |

so about a year and a half ago i traded $ for BTC on Mt Gox and transferred the resulting BTC to my personal wallet. i then received two transactions resulting in double the money i had actually owned. this was maybe my second BTC transaction ever and i was totally clueless as to what was going on. is all this related do you think? how would something like that happen, and who lost the coins that i gained?

Any idea if the payment into your wallet took a long time when this happened?
It could well be the behavior I described. The automatic reissuing of transactions without double spending would be expected to sometimes lose coins all on its own— without anyone trying to trigger it. It would be caused by MTGox correctly thinking the payment hadn't gone through, reissuing— and then both going through because there was nothing to stop both from going through.
Care to share the txids (or address that was double paid) with me privately?

The printing press heralded the end of the Dark Ages and made the Enlightenment possible, but it took another three centuries before any country managed to put freedom of the press beyond the reach of legislators. So it may take a while before cryptocurrencies are free of the AML-NSA-KYC surveillance plague.

The leaked document looks like a joke to me. If it's not genuine the authors of it should be careful as posting fake documents to manipulate a market is illegal in pretty much every developed country.

The leaked document is taking credibility away from actual situation which may still be confirmed to be true.
