Topic: Ok. Now it is official - Mtgox STEALING bitcoins - page 2. (Read 3885 times)
And how to deal with it? Who thinks that?
My opinion is that they are thieves as well.
Well before news of the hack became public, I had 20.19 BTC come missing out out my account. I reported it to them - again before any news of a hack surfaced.
I have yet to ever her from them. I have sent emails, and questioned them on every forum topic I could find relating to them. They simply will not respond.
I realize that in all probability, due to the database leak, my password was cracked and the crooks got in that way. But I still feel that they are responsible - and they don't even have the courtesy to answer questions to those of us that have had BTC come missing.
Why anyone would still deal with them, when there are other viable options, is beyond me

So.. What I think is going on - mtgox lost quite a bit of coins due their error and now try to recouple these with stealing money from smallish and new accounts!
Be careful before you state your single opinion (keyword=think) as an "official" statement. I'd revise your subject.
I know they are stole these. "think" is related to only small part where I am trying to come up with meaningful explanation why.
If you do not like this explanation, how about this one - they simply could do this just to steal fortune and purposefully exposed their DB to "explain" why their users lost their coins.

Let the bitcoiner beware.
I suppose that you can chock this up to a learning experience, whether or not you ever succeed in getting your funds back.

So back in June 15th I bought some coins from guy on #bitcoin-otc and decided to sell these on mtgox. I successfully transferred my 50.56 btc to freshly generated address - http://blockexplorer.com/address/18Pu9zLDzviyzjMFvH4NMZjpHiq5JrgiYU
After about and hour I wanted to check if coins were deposited to account and to my surprise mtgox.com was telling me that password is incorrect. I did not use email during registration but I did wrote down password and I am 100% sure it was correct one.
I did write at [email protected] several emails and so far I seen only auto responses. I thought my account was hacked due leaked database with passwords (although, while password is not long, but it is not from any possible dictionary). I strated waiting until they fix their system.
The only thing I did not like, one fellow member from this forum pointed that my account was marked as "locked" at their database - http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=19221.msg264466#msg264466
two days ago I went through "reclaiming" process and got access to mtgox.com. Although my balance page was empty (not that I was seeing 0.00 or my 50.56 there, but simply empty). And history did not contain any transactions or logs besides me creating account and loggin in.
I wrote to [email protected] with details on transaction I sent - again, no reply as usual. And today - bam, I can not login to my account again! (password was written down and very complex).
So.. What I think is going on - mtgox lost quite a bit of coins due their error and now try to recouple these with stealing money from smallish and new accounts!
Beware, never ever leave anything in mtgox, if you absolutelly need to - do trades in small amounts, or better - use tradehill.com!
