Wasn't the point of that site to accept MtGox internal (apparently fake) transfers of BTC to JJ, after which people immediately got actual BTC from JJ?

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

I'm glad to hear the issues were fixed. Also, have you considered re-enabling trading?
Since this whole gox situation is developing so slowly some liquidity for GOXBTC wouldn't hurt!

I don't think they can trade atm because gox internal transfers are no longer working ...?

They could trade now, as if they're honest they could decide to only trade existing goxcoins in the bitcoinbuilder gox account. This would only be a number in the bitcoinbuilder database reflecting their balance with mtgox which is not accessible.

Essentially they would be trading coins that might not ever be payable, but it still would be kind of interesting as it would give an indication about the market sentiment as to whether mtgox will reopen or not in some shape or form.

Legally if this could cause any trouble, I don't know. Perhaps if someone bought mtgox btc at bitcoin builder and then mtgox never reopned, bitcoinbuilder could be sued? I don't know.

The site is down again. And I don't think the trading will ever resume again so what's the point? The only purpose of that site right now is to show the user's balance.
