Je pense que tu t'ai trompé d'endroit
+ Mt Gox has clearly made several times more revenue (through trading fees) than this incident would cost them to completely absorb.
I have no idea if you are who you so you are. I also agree that it is highly improbably that a single user was storing so many bitcoins on mt gox. However, this statement is not true. You are claiming that Mt Gox has already made millions of dollars and could absorb this loss without going under and taking the entire bitcoin economy with them. I fail to see how Mt Gox being made insolvent and lots of people ending up with no cash is a better outcome than rolling back trades (which again, happens all the time). I agree that Mt Gox and all exchanges need to be more explicit about this in the future but I don't think they have a legal or ethical obligation to honor the trades.
why this old topic was pulled from the history of the forum? of course this is a very fascinating story, but it brings only envy and pity to the events of the past years 
Did he HODL tho?
Or when did he sell?

Do not let me know that somehow Bitcoin hack happened. And who did it. Because no one could tell.
So this was past with a historic amount of bitcoin. I'm curious if this even publish anywhere else aside from here, as this is sooo craaazzzyyy.
I'm thinking what Kevin has doing now with his life after he posted this.
I loved that. Well back in 2011 I was slave by a corporate world and living in dull.

This is a very interesting article to read. Nice to know u, Kevin and I wish I was you. But back in 2011, I was stuck in the casino playing slot machines and lost a lot of money. I really wish somebody had told me about Bitcoin back then.

I’m Kevin and I'm the guy who bought 259684 BTC for under $3000 yesterday. I really wanted to keep this as quiet as possible, but I don't feel I can anymore. Here's my side of what happened.
This quote should go in every single history book.
This man made over 1 fucking BILLION $ (at today's price) out of 3000$, and had the integrity of giving it back.
Nowhere in history anyone ever made such an enormous profit overnight.. we are talking about 30000000% in a day.
You had 259,684 BTC and you round it off to 250,000 BTC 
haahaa that is really funny. if even 10% of the left what you excluded from rounding off is given to anyone here then they will be happy.

Honestly, I think you should just keep coins. I personally slept when a failure occurred, but in principle I do not think that actual BTC transactions should be canceled after they are completed in the chain. However, the reversal of trading on MtGox servers depends on the owners, since the actual BTC transactions are not added to the chain.
They're no actually yours until you withdraw your amount from the main wallet. Someone hacking another persons account isn't right, and it also shouldn't allow for you to become a millionaire on wrong doing.
Kevin if what you say is true call up the most expensive law firm in NY and get the ball rolling, maybe the law is on the side of the rollback, maybe not. With 5M at stake you bet your ass I would be finding out.

The greatest novel
Really. This is crazy. A huge amount of money
There's no winner in this argument... You found a flaw, and took advantage of it. And Mt.Gox did what any normal business would do, and that is to try and keep ALL the customers happy. Doesn't matter anymore though since this forum post is so old.
Here is the first bitcoin novel. when i read this i couldn't hold my tears for days. reading and crying situation was very educational for me.
It makes you tear and cry for a few days it seems like you really feel what has happened.
Thank you, I fully agree with your opinion, but I suspect the actual buying and selling is all done on a SQL database, and the only time the actual Bitcoin goes into play is when someone asks for a withdrawal. I think this method is a good idea, since it saves money for everyone. Consequently, though, 500k Bitcoin has been "stolen" may very possibly just be an arbitrary number in an account, which means nothing more than an IOU from MtGox.
Kevin's story is backed up by MtGox's own feed; and that showed that he could not have made the order before the crash. In fact, 6 people got in before him when the large order finally finished executing - which took 35ish minutes.
Regarding the lawsuit to stop the return, no lawyer can touch that with a 10-pin pole. I think he should return what he took at that moment.
