well if it was rolled back then it wouldn't be at 1 cent per coin. Probably just about 100 coins worth.
That guy who owned that many coins better get smart..

I'm pretty sure it's extremely easy to look for all withdraws on the compromised account and talk to the processor that is handling it and get it cancelled. This is easy peesy stuff to do.
Mtgox is doing a great job in this situation.

This also confirms that someone has 500k BTC in his mtgox account and he is most likely the person behind constant price manipulation on Bitcoin market.
So he got away with $1000 worth of BTC at $0.01 per coin? ouch
wow
This just in from mtgox
Huge Bitcoin sell off due to a compromised account - rollback

The bitcoin will be back to around 17.5$/BTC after we rollback all trades that have happened after the huge Bitcoin sale that happened on June 20th near 3:00am (JST).
Service should be back by June 20th 10:00am (JST, 01:00am GMT) with all the trades reversed and accounts available.
One account with a lot of coins was compromised and whoever stole it (using a HK based IP to login) first sold all the coins in there, to buy those again just after, and then tried to withdraw the coins. The $1000/day withdraw limit was active for this account and the hacker could only get out with $1000 worth of coins.
Apart from this no account was compromised, and nothing was lost. Due to the large impact this had on the Bitcoin market, we will rollback every trade which happened since the big sale, and ensure this account is secure before opening access again.
