letter to mtgox

Dear mtgox

My name is Derek I have been a member of your exchange for almost 3 years now. I just want you to know who the members of your exchange are and what you have done to them.
I am legally blind and partially deaf living off a small disability payment. Over the past 3 years since I heard about bitcoin i saved every spare dollar i could, usually about 15 or 20 dollars a month and put it into your exchange. I dont have a good computer and could never do any mining. Instead i would click on small payout faucets and ads and do things to get small payouts of btc. I held on through all the ups and down and finally after 3 years i had almost 5 btc. i know thats not alot to most people in bitcoin but to me 5 btc was alot. I believed in bitcoin i believed in the idea and premise and finally i had enough to sell and buy one of the butterfly labs mining cards. i had just sold out and was waiting for my acct to be verified so i could withdraw my money. Then you closed your site. with closing the site you closed the door on all my hopes and dreams of just maybe making an extra 20 dollars a day to buy things i never could before. I didnt want to become rich or buy anything extravagant like the btc millionaires do like tesle cars or houses. I wanted to buy a new pair of glass's since mine are broken and held together with superglue which is on the lenses as well. Maybe make enough to get my teeth fixed since medicaid doesnt pay for any of that glass's nor dental. Maybe just enough to go see my family that i havent been able to see in over 10 years since my mom died. I didnt want much i just wanted a lil bit better then what i have. every day i was excited thinking of the future i was a huge advocate of bitcoin and i just dreamed of the possibilities. As i said i only had almost 5 btc but to me it was a fortune and a starting point. i wanted to much to be out of a governmental economic system that makes slaves out of people and i thought bitcoin was the way. I know alot of people lost alot more then i did and i feel bad for all of them, but to me 5 btc was my life savings it was my hopes my dreams my future and now its gone. I have nothing now and no way to ever regain what i lost. Mtgox you took everything from me all my plans my hopes and desires but most importantly you took my optimism. i looked forward to the future and smiled every day. now i have nothing to look forward to. My spirit feels as though its been crushed. You took everything from me, It may have only been 5 bitcoins to you but it was my future.
