Dear MtGox Customers,

In light of recent news reports and the potential repercussions on MtGox's operations and the market, a decision was taken to close all transactions for the time being in order to protect the site and our users. We will be closely monitoring the situation and will react accordingly.

Best regards,
MtGox Team

What the hell does any of this have to do with their inability to enable withdrawals?

What "situation"? The fact that they lost customer funds?

TRANSLATION: "Hmm let's monitor the fact that we lost people's money and see if the money somehow magically reappears!"

ROFL!

Edit: For newbies don't go entering you Gox details into anything you never know Gox might come back one day. Undecided

Yes, Goxxies beware of email and data phishers that might prey on your hope in this way. Kinda like how GOX THEMSELVES did to you.

You honestly couldn't dream this shit up. I'd bet anything there is a movie in the works 6 months from now. The question is, who is big & smarmy looking enough to play Karpeles? Maybe if Jonah Hill gained an extra 10kgs or so...

He'd maybe work.

But punch up the coffee + umbrella scene. In cinematic terms, it needs... More.

So all this time gox suspended withdrawls while allowing trading it was knowingly trying to get back to solvency? lol

Kinda like how Pearl Harbor was a turning point between Japan and US forces.

Where o where can my strule shill be oh where oh where has he gone?

The concierge at the home of the chief executive, Mark Karpeles - an upscale apartment in the Shibuya district - said he was not answering his intercom. His mailbox was so stuffed with mail that the flap would not close.

Has mark flown the coop?

"We will be closely monitoring the situation..."

What situation are they monitoring? Really, what kind of drugs is Karpeles on?

They're intently staring at the final number on the balance sheet, waiting for it to suddenly change upwards by around 750,000 BTC...

I fix broken miners. And make holes in teeth :-)

Translation: Scary people have spooked us, so we're running off with all your money. That will show you....

Weird situation, but the truth is if you don't have the private key to your bitcoins, you don't have bitcoins. Oddly enough this statement holds for gold (GLDX is not Gold, it's paper) and money (bank balances are not money). Fascinating to watch.

So what is this e-mail? I also received the same e-mail. Does it mean that mtGox outsourced some part of their operation to BTC.SX??

Site was using Mt.Gox trading API it seems. As this is down their trading system won't work.

Thanks,

Going to assume this email is BS until I get one from a known Gox email and then will assume its complete BS having come from Gox.

Edit: For newbies don't go entering you Gox details into anything you never know Gox might come back one day. Undecided

Monitoring when their gig is officially up and are forced into admitting gox is bankrupt. Our bitcoins and cash are all safe though obviously.

Yup, MtGox was trying to buy back the "lost coins" on the cheap.

Actually, technicall that would be called "covering their short position".

http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/25/bitcoin-mtgox-ceo-idUSL1N0LU12G20140225

it seems not a bad news...

Two official channels exist still for GOX. Their Facebook page and Google+. The latter not used as much.

That will be where official statements will come from. Interesting never the less.

Anyone work out what manner of thing the script does yet?

From superficial analysis I would say it injects stuff from Akamai into the page. What it ultimately does, we cannot find out, because what Akamai injects depends on Akamai, and it can change however they want.

If I remember correctly, Mt. Gox has used Akamai for high-performance server farm hosting.

"We should have an official announcement ready soon-ish. We are currently at a turning point for the business."

I think the turning point is to say: "That's all folks, we are bankrupt!"
