Hehe it is funny to step in front of the FBI, you are brave and you definately rickrolld a few of them, but I think what you wrote will probably be revealed as the truth.  It is funny tho, the truth and the desire to rickroll people, haha.  Also, theft and crime and black markets and theft of millions of dollars, is funny too, haha.

Why is every thread filled with rubbish. Lol

well I'm sick of speculation. We need solid evidence and less about a cat no?

see his trying to sell his book here. All I want is good good information

Dude!  When one is doing good analysis, one is not looking for things to be true.  One is looking for evidence (ideally irrefutable) of things being false.  This allows one to strike off hypotheses which don't fit.  Sagan would be ashamed of you if he were still among the living I'm sure.

It would be handy as hell for, say, the government to have a situation where nobody even dares to think that the mic on their phone might be able to be remotely activated because that is a 'government conspiracy theory.'  The shame of it is that very many otherwise very bright people fall into this trap and remain ignorant of and unprepared for a great many things.

If one is not willing to entertain all manners of hypotheses, then by logic they will always be clueless unless the truth happens to be among the reduced set of things they already feel is fit to consider.  More often than not the truth is something which does not occur to one so it gets no attention in the process of contemplation.  This retards the analysis process and ends up getting people get blind-sided and thus run over.

In this case the null hypothesis is that the government knew all about Bitcoin and knew that it was being used to support Wikileaks and do an end-run around the control mechanisms put in place for fiat, and yet took no concrete action to deal with the issues presented by Mt. Gox.  If one thinks about it a little, that's pretty absurd.  (I know...it's 'badthink' or something to consider the government could be involved, but I could not help myself...maybe you have better self-control.)  Anyway, this is by no means evidence that the government had a hand in freezing Mt. Gox controlled BTC, but it is all the reason in the world to consider it as a viable hypothesis.

All that is left is to throw out the rubbish (mt gox)

This page seems to have some reasonable info on this:

A basic Summary:

We can't yet draw any conclusions as to their intentions as this procedure allows them to either try to trade out of trouble, or to dispose of assets in order to pay creditors.  If they attempt to keep trading, typically a supervisor will be appointed to oversee things but I personally suspect the court will appoint a trustee in this case because of the mis-management & that could be the reason behind Mark's title change.


Also, this section should interest most people here:

I hope that people have some way of proving their holdings, or else things might get complicated.

Edit:
This site now seems to require registration to view the full article. If people want me to paste it here I can but rather than fill up one page of this thread I'll leave it with just this summary unless enough people ask me.

Bank records of wire transfers going in or coming out. 

People that used fake IDs are probably out of luck.
