*DJ Mt. Gox Lawyer: Mt. Gox Assets Y3.84B
*DJ Mt. Gox Lawyer: Will Cooperate With Japanese Authorities Into Investigating What Happened

If true they have more than half of their liabilities at book. Worst case scenario would be creditors getting 50% back.

We'll see the veracity of claims in the near future.

That's not the worst case scenario at all. We don't know if the filing even includes BTC. We do know that fees involved in sorting out business bankruptcies tend to chew through enormous amounts of remaining assets and that unsecured creditors typically receive little or no return.

Without access to the information contained in the filings, all we know for sure is that legal actions in Japan will now be stayed (and legal actions initiated outside Japan will likely be rendered futile).

You are right, it was a massive simplification on my part.

I would be amazed if the asset and debt didn't include BTC. The court would throw it out in a second.

*DJ Mt. Gox Lawyer: Outstanding Debt Y6.5B
*DJ Mt. Gox Lawyer: Filed For Bankruptcy Protection
*DJ Mt. Gox Lawyer: Accepted By Tokyo District Court

So around $ 60 mln outstanding debt

Only $60mln? The BS out of gox continues.

I have no doubt the actual filings will be made public by the media soon. If they've lost access to their cold wallets - as some have theorised - that could explain why the nominal debt is only $60 million. The cold wallets would still technically count as an asset.

I'm pretty surprised to learn that's only $60 million. In this case many people can bail it out. Just not sure how they calculate the value of bitcoin. I guess $130/BTC?

I guess they haven't even considered lost bitcoins.

for the sake of filing for bankruptcy protection they will have had to count coins in hand as an assett. I would guess at 130 USD / BTC as that was closing price.

This would make sense as to why they let out no info, closed withdrawals and let the price tank. It was in their interest. The lower the price of each coin on their balance sheet, the lower their debt would be when filing for protection.

But I think an action like this is illegal and the court will calculate with the "real" fair price when they are closed, which is about 500

Quite possibly, hard to guess really without seeing the filing documents. I am sure they will come out.

What do you mean? So you think that in the 64 millions of debt also lost bitcoins are counted? i would hope so, but...

Very true, but if they really have lost the keys then that asset is certainly not worth 100 cents on the dollar. Or yen. Or whatever.

no keys have been lost that is ridiculous where did you get this information ?

Well, it is more likely than if they had filed for bankruptcy but no one actually knows.
