The crisis strategy draft that was leaked just before Mt. Gox fully imploded said that Mt. Gox would be rebranding and relaunching as "Gox" with a new name and logo, and most importantly, that they would be reimbursing those who held coins in the old Mt. Gox.

Well, it's been almost six months so where the heck is it? Where is Gox? Gox.com doesn't resolve to any particular website. And searching for it reveals no new information. If Mt. Gox wants to redeem itself to the Bitcoin community and undo this giant mess that they created, then they should stick by what they had promised by having Karpeles step down and letting a new team take over so that they can start working on reimbursing their customers' funds ASAP.

Quote from: Forbes
According to an apparent Mt Gox crisis document, which has been widely circulated online, the company is considering shutting down trading for an entire month while it rebrands itself as ‘Gox’, brings in new management, and employs a fresh set of technical staff. The document is not officially confirmed, but internet messenger conversations detailed on Fox Business appear to show Karpeles telling industry consultant Jon Fisher that it is “more or less” legitimate.

Quote from: Crisis Strategy Draft
The new branding is already complete, and new services such as the Bitpocket wallet are already developed and ready for deployment. With a new image, team, and offering we believe that it will be a challenge, but is not impossible. The risks of not acting are incredibly large and unpredictable.
