Important. Gox, have not filed for bankruptcy

[studio1one]

Gox have filed for protection from bankruptcy, not bankruptcy itself.

This is done when a company believes given time they can restructure and become solvent again.

Read the difference.

The fact is no one, including you, knows the situation. The only fact is that Gox have claimed they believe they can restructure and become solvent again.

This may or may not be true, any statements of fact whether it is true or not here are not fact but supposition.

You have proof they have some coin. That's it.

You don't have proof of their asset v liabilities balance sheet and what and how their current financial situation is.

A wise man would wait and see what happens and what information comes out, not jump to conclusions that he knows everything already.

The Japanese legal system is not the US legal system.

Had rehabilitation (restructuring or trading out) been the objective of the filing, it's unlikely that the lawyer would have used the term bankruptcy at all (bankruptcy implies liquidation in Japan).

http://www.bingham.com/Publications/Files/2012/02/A-Practical-Guide-to-Japanese-Insolvency-Procedures

The immediate staying of legal actions by creditors tends to be the most immediate effect of insolvencies in general.  It doesn't imply that there's any hope of a company being restructured.

Until someone gets hold of the filings and translates them, assumptions about the possibility of MtGox seeking to/being able to restructure are pure speculation.

There have been a lot of bankruptcy protection cases in Japan that have been specifically for restructuring and trading out of trouble

I just think everyone should wait until the actual filings become public before making any optimistic assumptions about this announcement.  The financial media will no doubt go through the filings with a fine tooth comb and will certainly report on whether or not restructuring was even mentioned as a possibility in the filings.

My gut feeling is one of disappointment that MtGox will potentially gain more time to trade and leave people hanging with the glimmer of hope that they will ever see a cent or satoshi back. I feel like it would be much better for us all if there was a clean break.

Agree, just trying to point out that there is a lot of misinformation flying around about what has happened. Just trying to give a little balance.

On a side note, Gox filing for bankruptcy protection has not sent btc prices down. I take it as a good signal. Mt.Gox disaster (for which hopefully many people will end up in jail) was not the nuclear bomb to bitcoin that many people were expecting.

just like when i jumped to a conclusion a year ago that the whole company was a complete turd and this forum defended their fugitive buddy Mark

There's a thread on reddit in which someone claims that the translation of the news conference reveals that they've filed for civil rehabilitation.  Unfortunately, that same translation says they lost 85 million BTC (4 times all the BTC which will ever exist) so I don't regard it as reliable.

This pastebin of an IRC chat with Mark earlier today also suggests that he still believes there may be a "way out".

pastebin.com/YGr2WTvD

The ~ $63 million seems to be liquid liabilities (and so presumably doesn't include BTC).

I don't believe he will really try to continue with the business, he is delusional.

Yup.

So much for my optimism. Think I need to reassess my worst case scenario

[bterproblems]

http://www.coindesk.com/mt-gox-files-bankruptcy-claims-63-6m-debt/ so which news are correct?

[repentance]

http://www.coindesk.com/mt-gox-files-bankruptcy-claims-63-6m-debt/ so which news are correct?

As far as I can tell, the $63.6 million refers only to their liquid liabilities (basically the debts which are due in cash). 

www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/28/bitcoin-mtgox-bankruptcy-idUSL3N0LX36C20140228

If that's the case, then the news isn't contradictory.

[xandriel]

It would appear to me that Gox are just trying to avoid the US subpoena filed against them.

[thelema93]

I still think that Mark might be able to find people to revamp Gox as planned.
Obviously he still has possession of many many bitcoins. That is SO fu**ing god damn obvious.
The idea that the guy running the world's biggest Bitcoin exchange all of a sudden has NO BITCOINS LEFT!!!!!???

I bloddy well sent some to him just a few weeks ago!. And he had NO COLD STORAGE?!! WTF?

THIS IS A LIE
He should be arrested for FRAUD, he was still selling Bitcoins AFTER he stopped withdrawals - i.e. AFTER he KNEW (supposedly) that he had no coins to sell - what is that if it isn't plain and simple FRAUD. Selling something you don't have?

Anyway I digress... He will wait until the BTC price resurges, sell all his stolen coins and then somehow try to get Gox back online.

At least I hope so. I'm suing him anyway though.

[xandriel]

I would have to agree. I had not invested anything with Gox, but was thinking about it before I leant about all the btc apparently stuck in the system.
It seems it has been going on for a long, long, time.

Although I have not researched this much, I also strongly suspect Mark knows where the 'missing' btc are
