Hello,
I have been requesting the ability to delete the uploaded files to my Mt Gox account verification, AND the ability to delete my Mt Gox account in total. The response copied below received from Mt Gox absolutely stunned me. I simply could not believe that Mt Gox would retain such sensitive personal & financial information, unencrypted for up to 5 months AFTER they decide to delete your account.

Am I wrong in thinking this is insanely dangerous?

Now I have offered Mt Gox my help in showing them "how" to delete an image file.
But they have yet to respond.
