I hope they don't shut down.

So far it seems they stay alive, but the lawsuits are money eaters, so you never know

That's a lot of money to lose even for a big company.

If you think that keeping the world’s most popular Bitcoin exchange up and running is easy, think again.

Mt. Gox, the Japanese-run online trading floor that had $5 million seized by federal agents earlier this year, says that it’s out another $5.3 million, fallout from the company’s legal dispute with its former U.S. partner CoinLab.

At the end of February, Mr. Gox chose CoinLab as its North American agent. The idea was that customers in the U.S. and Canada would be able to use CoinLab as a gateway to the Mt. Gox exchange. But the relationship didn’t last long. By April, it had devolved into a messy $75 million lawsuit.


Given the withdrawal delays at Mt.Gox I expected it  Smiley
