This had to be in the plans of the authorities for a while now.

Am sure that Gox has its days numbered as well.

This is where they are trying to push Bitcoin into a corner. They gonna be pleasantly surprised at how that failed.

Nope, because he would have just lost it.  If he was smart, he'd have it in cryptocurrencies.

MtGox uses technocash as a deposit method in Australia. Is this collateral damage to Bitcoin? Or is this intended?

This title is misleading...
Also gox probably hardly had any money in the accounts.
