    No problem. Sure I can get my hands on one if you send the 1000 bitcoins first :D.

    In fact you can have 2 of them for 1000 bitcoins.

    Dear MtGox Customers,

    As there is a lot of speculation regarding MtGox and its future (we're screwed), I would like to use this opportunity to reassure everyone that I am still in Japan (the Cayman Islands), and working very hard (to cover my arse) with the support of different parties (the other guys I split the Bitcoins with) to find a solution to our recent issues (buying new identities on the black market).
    Furthermore I would like to kindly ask (so long suckers) that people refrain from asking questions to our staff (until we disappear): they have been instructed not to give any response or information (because we didn't tell them jack). Please visit this page for further announcements and updates (go and **** yourselves, your Bitcoins are gone).


    Sincerely,
    Mark Karpeles (Rodrigo Santa Coloma)

    They have done very well for themselves.
    A few people on here made some six figure profits didn't they? Now you can say you made money from the second biggest ponzi scheme ever.

    Will Mt.Gox survive to gox it's customers ever again?..I hope not, I'm over it like many others. R.I.P Magic The Gathering Online exchange. Gotta love the name and roots.
    Who could make this "Mt.Gox" stuff up. It is kind of a pitybut the incompetence at Mount G is 2 much.

    Mt.Gox was a service (goxings being regular part of it, Lol), http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=goxed
    Bitcoin is a protocol (an invention in cryptography).

    As the months roll on, I hope more of the story from Mt.Gox is revealed. This exchange has assisted to pave the way for Bitcoin and thus other cryptocurrencies.
    Political and banking pressures have been possibly applied to Mt.Gox to make life harder, and assist with the current train wreck. But incompetence at Mt.Gox has been apparent.

    It certainly is interesting to follow. An interesting theory I read that this might have something to do with the silk road seizures and the cold storage wallets are in the hands of the federales, with karpales being under a gag order.

    Like sands through the hour glass, so are the days of our lives.....

    The most important thing I just got out of the above article was that Perth Mint made a ****ing Werewolf silver coin, which you know, is cool but also ironic.

    What a joke, that number is grossly underreporting the amount of money they haven't returned to investors. Even at $500 USD a coin, what about the ~$370m in bitcoins they supposedly were holding for people. Sounds like they are using their greatly reduced "crash" price to calculate debts.

    Karpeles is going to need to change his name and get plastic surgery.
