A Great Time to Start Something!
Interesting that the WSJ covered this so quickly.
Are they "promoting" this deal for a reason?

Hello World!!!
It's not getting bought out (for 1 BTC) - it's just a proposal that Karpeles will turn down. So, fix your title - it's misleading!

No kidding!  Fix title...so misleading.  That group only offered 1 BTC for Mtgox.  I can't see that happening anytime soon.



It does not matter as they are taking burden of a major portion of the account holders' investment.

Your title:
Re: Breaking News: Mt.Gox to be Bought & Revived by a U.S. based Investors Group

Mtgox is not being "bought & revived by a US based investors group"

There was just an offer put on the table according to the article.  I am sure there probably has been several offers already.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/04/10/us-bitcoin-mtgox-investorgroup-idUSBREA3922Q20140410


You also forgot to mention this from the article:

"The acquisition must be approved by a Japanese bankruptcy court. However, the near-zero valuation of the proposed deal could prove to be a hurdle, the Journal said."

Please note that in OP I have referred everyone to the actual Wall Street Journal article so everyone can read for themselves.

In my view Mt.Gox is eventually going to be bought & revived by a investors group anyways.

Furthermore, almost all acquisitions of bankrupt companies in Japan have to seek court permission. This is common sense.

Hello World!!!
Full story here:

Just Google "WSJ: Investor Group Seeks Court OK to Buy, Revive Bankrupt Bitcoin Exchange Mt. Gox" for this Wall Street Journal (WSJ) Story

So is this also linked with the recent rebound from the $350 price? I can see that BTC is now trading at $400+.
wow how long did d price stay @ 350

Just for a few hours only.

Core dev leaves me neg feedback #abuse #political
Hmm...I have mixed feelings about any MtGox revival...

Why?  It would be under completely new ownership and management.  It would probably even be renamed.

maybe they get the lost coins?

The rally to almost $420 was really fast.
Don't know if it's directly related to the Gox story.
