Hasn't it been disclosed that they supposedly only have 2,000 btc left, along with about $33 mill USD? I could be wrong, but I thought these were their balance sheets...

So out of 744,408 BTC, you say perhaps they have 2000 left?
So customers might get repaid a little less than 0.2% of their account balance?

I hope not. They better be able to repay every customer BTC, or be prepared to answer
a lot of tough questions from law enforcers.

the irony is they will end up with much more value than if they just traded it away.

I'm skeptical sure. But this is a good sign. And definitely reason to keep connected to what's going on there. If everyone just throws their hands in the air and lets off on the interest and pressure then there is definitely less reason to hope for something good.

Since those two hundred or so people who witnessed the events all went "zomg wow this is very important to bitcoin!!111one" all took screenshots, chatlogs, etc and rushed in to post on this forum I am anxiously awaiting all of their replies with proof here.
Since they don't seem to be here, and since it seems weird to me that Tux would only do this on IRC and not more public with a bigger announcement... I call BS.

I was there.

First the .4242 amount was named by non-mtgox parties (I didn't witness this myself, but talked to the people after who did). Second the exact value of the txn and destination address were announced by mtgox a long time (probably 45 minutes?) before my node saw the flooded transaction. Apparently MagicalTux had issues getting connections up to a pre .23 wallet.

I consider this sufficient evidence that mtgox still controls that bitcoin.

I lost almost $400 recently, through money transfers to digital currency companies. Not much in the scheme of things. But it teaches me to keep my eyes and ears open, to transfer in small amounts, and to trust that my trust might be misplaced. In addition, there are always mistakes and accidents.

Will the MtGox bitcoins ever be returned? Who knows? Sure, the bitcoins are still there. If they are returned sometime, it will change a lot of peoples' minds about the honesty of certain bitcoin dealers.

One thing we DO know, our income tax money will never be returned. Banking fees will never be returned. Our money and property loss through inflation will never be returned.

It's time that we start making Bitcoin do the thing that it was supposed to do in the first place. Become a P2P medium of exchange rather than an investment vehicle.

What are the possibilities that the BTC came from Mark's personal wallet(s)?

I am wondering, was this really Mark in control of the coins. Or maybe someone else?

Bumping this, because of this:

You can't paste the wrong receiving address, each address has a checksum to verify it's correct. You would have to get extremely unlucky to get a different address.

Sure, but you might paste a valid address by accident (i.e. copied from somewhere else). MagicalTux probably double-checked to make sure he didn't paste the wallet ID of the alleged hacker from his investigation .. Cheesy

Wow. I'd be VERY afraid of sending 424k BTC, simply because there are so many things that could go wrong. Pasting the wrong receiving address, backing up the receiving wallet in a stupid way, etc. etc. I guess someone had to send then sooner or later, so MtGox can open up their webseite..

But I'm definitely happy MtGox is still in control of those coins. Cheesy
