It is completely not credible that they could simply have forgotten about 200k BTC in an "old wallet". Seriously, they should have come up with a better lie. How could they think anyone would buy that?

Maybe Mark Kapeles's mom was cleaning and found it behind the cupboard.
200KBTC == $116600000 == $116M YOU DON'T "JUST" LOSE THAT!!!!!

No one will trust Bitcoins any more in terms of business transactions because there is no way to track it. If I had a business, I would simply declare it hacked and walk away with all the Bitcoins in an unknown and untraceable wallet.  ? |

Scenario 1: Coins get liquidated by Gox to cover corporate fiat obligations.
Scenario 2: Coins eventually make their way back to Gox customers, who immediately dump them.
Outcome in both scenarios, price drop. The whales see this, and this is why the price has been dropping in advance of the coins actually being sold by either Gox or their customers. In fact, Gox "losing" the coins saved us from a much, much harder fall. Now they're "finding" coins, which simply means more uncertainty.

Why would they dump them? |

Why would they dump them? Herd mentality. They expect everyone else to do the same and will try to beat them to the punch. Will everyone sell? No, but enough will. We saw the same hysteria as Gox imploded. |

I haven't given any advice. I'm a gox creditor and I have no intention of dumping any coins I may get back. |

Herd mentality.
Bollocks. why bollocks? we are talking about a bunch of speculators here, and some coins that are only worth what the next guy will pay. why will bitcoin reach $10,000? herd mentality. why? because it will still be speculator driven by $10,000. |

make that three. right now, my coins at gox changed from a short-term speculative coins to a very long-term (possibly infinitely long  ) investment. definitely not going to sell anything when (if) something gets paid back, these are considered lost now and will go to long-term cold storage if retrieved. |
