I'm not mad at MtGox for getting hacked. They're a huge target and in some ways a hack was inevitable. They've handled the hack as well as possible with the shutdown, audit and rollback.
However, I have a BIG PROBLEM with MtGox contacting the CIA or FBI or whoever. It's bad enough that I have to worry about whoever getting my information from the leaked database. Now I have to worry about the Feds looking through my account and coming for my bitcoins? Hell no...
This isn't the first time that MtGx has considered running to the Feds:

If you think that the Feds are friends of BTC or that their involvement is going to help the BTC community in any way, then you're sorely mistaken.

Well I can say that services from mtgox where good as far as I know (but this leak clusterfuck is horrible shit).
Obviously they need people that take take security as their life mission and are paranoid, not the "some hacks? well meh its probably the user fault" approach that was allegedly used.
But look around in the forums, in very old posts, you will eventually see that in the age that MtGox was founded, people did handled some thousand of BTCs around.
I never said noone has 500kBTC. I said noone has 500 kBTC at mtgox, let alone with a weak password.
mtgox wasnt around at that time either, so it cant be an abondonded account from back then.
that someone got write access to MtGox' database as some claim and just created the 500k out of nothing is much more likely.

to stop lying would be a good start to rebuild trust.
there was no one single 500kBTC account with a weak password.
that is so far out of the reasonable that it is safe to say he is lying until he provides proof.
To do that he would have to reveal the user. He cannot do that.

MtGox will still be going strong long after the cretins in this forum have all but forgotten about Bitcoin.
MtGox will live strong for about 12 hours after it goes online again, since thats about the time we'll all need to transfer the money out of there.
People forgot about http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=3712 - they will forget about this stuff here too...

I can only too agree with this. Too many people angry just for the sake of being angry. At this stage being angry helps nobody.
