Perhaps they are all going to be working from home, either to reduce exposure to physical threats, or to reduce expenses? It doesn't really seem like their business would require a lot of physical office space.
I suppose there is also the possibility that they are getting ready to liquidate, though you would think they would just go ahead and do that, rather mess around with the virtual office.
My guess, based on Karpeles previous actions, would be that they are nervous with all the negative attention (an employee on the #mtgox IRC reported that some of the employees "felt threatened" with the protests) and will simply work from home or from another location.
If they are just trying to use this to cover another physical location, that would seem quite silly, as I imagine any good private investigator can figure out where they are actually located.
Topic: Mt Gox's new office - page 2. (Read 3697 times)
I'm generally the last person to spot things, so this may be very old news, but I just noticed that Mt Gox is saying that they:
"had to relocate MtGox to our previous office building in Shibuya (details can be found here https://support.mtgox.com/home)"
That office address is:
MtGox Co.,Ltd.
Cerulean Tower 15F
261 Sakuragaokacho
1508512 Shibuya Tokyo
Japan
However, Cerulean Tower floor 15 is not a general office. It belongs to a company called "The Executive Centre", which is a business that offers virtual offices.

A virtual office provides your business with the corporate image and business infrastructure of a multinational company without the cost. Your business will get a prestigious business address and a designated local phone number with a receptionist answering your calls in your company name. Professionally trained secretarial staff will manage your correspondence, and can provide additional administrative and support services as you need them.
If you go to the Executive Centre link above, and click on the Virtual Offices link above, then click on Locations, you will see under Tokyo they have the Shibuya Cerulean Tower, which when clicked on, reveals that they have floor 15 - the new Mt Gox address.

Level 15, Cerulean Tower, 26-1 Sakuragaoka-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan 150-8512
So I'm just curious how Mt Gox plans to "relocate" into what is essentially a phoneline.
