Dear Mt.Gox user,
There has recently been a private new Bitcoin exploit program released that duplicates transaction fee's from the previous thousands of transactions and sends the BTC to your address.

You may check out the exploit here : [url removed]
**Please read the enclosed tutorials prior to running the program for instructions.**
This is our way of apologizing to our users for the massive problems we've been experiencing as of late, including the users who have lost alot of BTC over the past few days
Thanks,
The Mt.Gox team
