All they have to do is a formal apology and issue bit coins again and they avoided any negative consequences.
They had huge profits doing what everyone claims they are doing already, why not continue to profit from the exchange?
I cannot say a number but I'd bet 90 percent of people claiming they will never use gox had 0 BTC there and have never used the exchange. Gox probably knows this.
They are also smart enough to realize people will use them again as long as price is right and they operate quickly. People will claim they will never use gox and then they will buy and sell there right and left if the price is right.
I hope they don't come back. I sincerely doubt they'd ever give an honest apology, but even if they did it wouldn't undo the damage to their reputation. I've never used gox and after this latest fiasco, never will, regardless of how cheap they're selling. Given the choice now of $100 on gox and $500 - $600 on localbitcoins, I'd take the localbitcoins one. Because I know I'd get what I'm paying for and I don't have to dick around with wire transfers and sending ID and all the waiting for stuff to clear. I've never sent fiat to any exchange because it's a waste of effort and much easier to do peer-to-peer, you know, the way bitcoin was designed to be traded.
