Mt.Gox CEO Karpeles says bitcoin exchange is at 'turning point'
http://www.cnbc.com/id/101444038

Simple math there are 12.4 Million Bitcoins 744,000 Lost or Stolen (Just under 6% of all Bitcoins in circulation)

Honestly I don't think that will happen but in theory all people that do not hold bitcoins on mtgox are 6% richer in the long term due to controlled supply and total divisible units going down by 744,000. (Less new coins minted)

Article:

Mt.Gox, once the world's largest bitcoin exchange, is "at a turning point," CEO Mark Karpeles told Reuters in an email, as the trading website remained down on Tuesday after halting withdrawals earlier in February.



In an emailed response to a question of whether the Tokyo-based exchange was dead, Karpeles said: "We should have an official announcement ready soon-ish. We are currently at a turning point for the business. I can't tell much more for now as this also involves other parties."


The digital marketplace operator said earlier this month that it had detected "unusual activity" and its office in Tokyo was empty on Tuesday, barring a handful of protesters saying they had lost money in the virtual currency.
