Until Mark starts being honest he deserves no support from anyone, not even his mother!
All the statements so far have evasive and deceitful. The crap written on
mtgox.com today still blames a bug with Bitcoin for all their problems FFS! His new piece of bullshit is that he only noticed millions of dollars was missing from gox bank accounts on Feb 24, the day gox stopped trading. I suppose now he's started to lie he can't go back. The lie needs to keep getting bigger and bigger.
Then expect another exchange to be hacked by central governments and another media blast at Bitcoin very soon.
4...3....2.....1.Boom
Sorry to quote myself but most comments here are from fucktards who only blindly emotionally see their own personal situation.
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/mar/04/bitcoin-bank-flexcoin-closes-after-hack-attackBOOM!! That will give the media at least a fortnight of material, everyone get onboard the destroy Bitcoin reputation train Chooooo Choooo!!!
Cryptsy better watch out...
The media is the least of the bitcoin community's problems. The only problem is that a fat, greasy piece of shite just stole, or was complicit in the theft of over half a billion dollars worth of currency.
No need to wag fingers at the media or indeed the public, banks, government or any other group really (okay, maybe the BTC Foundation just a bit)
The damage to bitcoin always comes from within.
