Not surre if this was already posted, but, from:
http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/1yuuok/daily_discussion_tuesday_february_25_2014_early/cfnzt9iSo here's what has happened for those who can't keep up. I doubt any of this is a pure coincidence given the time frame.
1.) MtGox allegedly lose 750,000 Bitcoins, according to a leaked document in the hands of TwoBitIdiot, a known person within the Bitcoin community.
2.) He then decides to leak the document to the public 1 - 2 hours later confirming this number, and within the document it says they are to rebrand as
http://gox.com and lie their way out of this mess.
3.) After the document is leaked, MtGox halts trades immediately (Around 5 minutes after)
4.) At this point,
http://gox.com is still a parked domain, and not long after starts to redirect to
http://mtgox.com (EDIT: More information on the domain situation from chris45215, which basically confirms that MtGox were indeed planning to relaunch as Gox.com as explained in the leaked document)
5.) After around 30 minutes, Coinbase, Blockchain, Circle and Kraken simultaneously release identical articles titled "Joint Statement Regarding the Insolvency of Mt.Gox" (EDIT: Since then, some of the articles have removed the word "insolvency", but not all of them.)
6.) A further 5 minutes later,
http://mtgox.com is taken completely offline.
7.) And now we are here, with not a single word from MtGox.
