Basically it means the corporate is not bankrupt (not just yet) but it has a lack of liquidity that makes it impossible to fulfil its debts in the short term. It then gains some time to solve the liquidity problem (by selling some assets, recovering pending debts, etc) so that it can restart its normal operation... or not, and then it files definitive bankruptcy.

Sure but this is unlikely gox' situation: their hole is apparently massive, and their assets are near zero.
Of course I might be mistaken... Roll Eyes

I'm not so sure I understand fully how it would work in Japan. I am pretty sure in the UK there is no middle ground, you either go pankrupt or you are solvent...

If it is the same as in Spain and many other countries, it is a different thing.

All the bitcoins were stolen... how about the euros/dollars we had stored there? Can't they be given back? Anyone?

If hackers have gotten more coins out than they owned, then depositing, selling and withdrawing them as fiat on Gox again, would drain Gox's fiat balances in a similar way as their Bitcoin balance.

Makes sense. But really ? could they really not notice this ?

but if they sold those coins to some other Gox users, they had to pay fiat. And that fiat came either from selling other stolen bitcoins, so the net outflow is of BTC only, or from a fiat deposit. Or from legit trades of BTC you might track back until you find a deposit. What am I missing? Huh

EDIT: does it make sense if we assume they were stolen quite long ago, when they could be traded at a much lower rate than today?

the administrators will pay back the money from any funds left in gox, in order of importance (which is a bit shit considering it's up to the administrators to assign the order of importance)... it's a messy affair.

Administrators are surly not on the scene yet because this is filing for Bankruptcy protection and not bankruptcy just yet anyway?

Edit: ah do you mean Mt gox administrators ?

Yes I am having a hard time with this also. From what I'm seeing Japan has given MT Gox a chance to sort its life out because they believe it is possible. Why on earth would they grant protection form things like Involuntary bankruptcy I just don't get it. Unless there is some way of Gox fixing all this which I doubt. It makes no sense.

Karpeles told the news conference that Mt. Gox wanted to file a criminal complaint against what he said was a hacking attack, but had no specific means of doing so.<-----------lmao Always has that smirk of contempt on his face.

Wow. He is now actually blaming it on Japan.

Good luck with that. The Japanese will act bashfully sorry for about 2 seconds before they skewer him.

It would be really really nice for mark to communicate with this customers at some point in stead of using IRc chats that we cant know for sure are real.

Anyway I'll post this not having a clue if real or not.

Edit: sorry did not read above post. I fail

this does warrant comment tho - anyone who had $500,000 worth of bitcoin in gox at the end, really need their heads read.

So one day Mark Karpeles wakes up thousands of empty txs he stops withdrawls blames metablility allows trading to go on weeks after stops withdrawls. Then to his horror he sees 700,000 plus bitcoins have vanished and been stolen. Lol at mt gox and the fat sociopathec liar that runs it. This is complete insanity how is Karpeles not under arrest awaiting trial?

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/02/27/mt_gox_accepted_new_customers_on_eve_on_collapse/

Just complete criminals the above thread suggest that they were caught completly by surprise more likely they were going to continue running the scam until could no longer do so. Unfortunately for gox that day came sooner then they expected.
