Topic: MtGox announce finding of 200,000 lost BTC! - page 4. (Read 30576 times)

not sure about that! why didn't they mention them today?

Nobody 'loses' almost $200 million (based on late 2013 rate).
If you have that much money, you'd know about it and you'd know where its kept.
Gox probably knew of its existence, but as with the rest of their wallets (which I'm sure will reappear soon) they'd lost the private keys.
Now that they've found them, the 'lost' coins are accessible and all of a sudden they've magically been 'found'.
With that many BTC in them, there's no way Gox didn't remember they existed.

You said it

Well apparently it were old wallets from before 2011 update. Sounds about right, maybe they find more coins as they would keep digging...

THIS! Soo true...

The bar is pretty high in the sky for more mad excuses from Mt.Gox. Can't wait for the next silly story.

U.n.b.e.l.i.e.v.a.b.l.e

Maybe that's exactly why they were "found" in the first place.  Lawyers may have said, "Uhh...Mark, how are you paying for these services?"

Everyone look around your house! Look under the sofa and in your junk drawer, the rest of those coins must be here somewhere.

I do not know why everyone is blind and can not see.

MT Gox is lying, but not in a convincing way, it is lying in a way that the lie is obvious.

Gox is saying that they had only 2k left out of 850k total btc. Yet their internal records as leaked show they had a btc balance of 950k. So why lie about this point? Did gox think that no one is going to look at the books, or are these lies only for public consumption?

Gox has now been forced to admit that they own 200k. They are saying this in a way which is an obvious lie. They only realised a week ago that one of their wallets contained 200k btc, when everybody knew on the 28th of February that they had 200k btc.

If one tries to hide the truth, they make the lie believable. Who on earth would believe TM? No one.

MK is obviously under a gag order here. The coins were seized last summer, shortly after the fiat seizure. This lead to the drying of the hot wallet over a period of 4 months culminating on 7th of Feb. MK had to enter into bankruptcy protection, rather than bankruptcy, because the coins are only "temporarily unavailable". The coins have now been released, therefore MK is starting to find wallets that had coins in them but he had "forgotten" about them. In the next two or three weeks all of these coins will be found, the exchange re-opened, new managment team, coding, MK resigns, and a year or two down the line some official in some case against some sr vendor mentions in some sentence that the gox coins had been seized, but the whole thing would be history by then so no one cares.

If they are allowed to selling them would be smart, in a sliding market!

Might end up being worth more that way.

more gox coins

 

Great news, so will the prices rise to what it was before the fall?

MtGox updated with latest news.
Link here. OP updated.

"February 28, when it is filed for Civil Rehabilitation Law in Tokyo District Court, the company describes a total of about 850,000 BTC corresponding to almost all to be held has been lost." and now they "find" 200k ?!

So they lied to court ?! I guess it is good information, maybe they "find" another 200k...

there is another 400k found by the community already?  so equaling 600k?    links please?

geez mt gox.
 
they can't even go bankrupt properly.

为什么不以诈骗罪起诉法胖！为什么？

After the community found those UTXO that directly leads to MtGox, Mark found his old wallets?!

What about the other ~400k BTC that can be tracked to MtGox addresses? Time to find those additional "old wallets" too!

And still no sign of the large number of transaction malleability TX from MtGox accounts...

Just another case of negligence.

As does the investigation.
