No, CoinLab is supposed to handle all Mt.Goxs US customers. But apparently MtGox hasn't transferred the customer data to coinlab, and even the lawsuit claims that MtGox has been Banning people who use Coinlab. Who knows.

Cause they havent figured out how to edit their .htaccess

"Sending people to them" was not what was agreed to - All US and Canadian Mt.Gox users were supposed to become Coinlab customers by March 22 - Pretty clearly that never happened.

I've requested exhibit a (the original contract) so we can take a look at what was really promised.  What they're stipulating is "breach of contract" and since the contract has a "in the event of breach of contract" clause, I don't see how Gox get's out of the 50 million.

And what would you suggest Coinlab do?  They've been marketing themselves on the expectation of being able to serve customers via the agreement with Gox, and Gox has failed to perform - Should they just say "Well, too bad everybody!  You came here but we're having a problem getting our contract terms fulfilled so just hang out a few months while this sorts itself out in the legal system"

Of course not, they act like professionals and point their customers to someone who *can* service their needs.  They didn't partner with Mt.Gox because of their personalities, it's because Gox is the biggest player and they want to supplement and expand that, not reinvent the wheel.

Also, I am not a lawyer - Just an independent journalist who spends all his time on Bitcoin.

Reading now, I like to get my information straight from the horses mouth.

Gox does not appear to have breached F.1, so liquidated damages do not apply.  That pretty much just leaves actual damages, which are, at best, a pittance, relatively speaking.  Note that the agreement is mostly concerned with future income.

ah thanks!
