EVERYTHING IS STILL WITH MTGOX.

so 100,000 BTCs??

on mt gox the TV show, they said only a few bitcoins were lost.

If I were Kevin Day what would stop me from claiming 'my wallet got hacked'

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is the transactions aren't completed until they have been 'validated'. IMO this is the whole point of mining..no validation - no release of bitcoins. Because the 'heist' was discovered shortly after it began, there would have been insufficient time to validate the majority of transactions.

People completely lack reading comprehension.

Again.  For the zillionth time.

~250k bitcoins are with mtgox, they never left.
~650 bitcoins were transferred out by Kevin, and are now in a clearcoin account which is acting as escrow until this is all figured out


Why is this so hard to understand?  I really don't get it...

It's not the trolls trying to push the currency down are the ones peddling the disinformation. Good post.

if this were the case then this attack would have fooled the mt gox software into sending bitcoins from the mt gox wallet right?  Essentially stealing the bit coins from mt gox, not other users?

and, according to the reports from the week before, tux had moved the vast majority of deposited BTC's "offline" before the attack (~400K, I believe - there were a bunch of threads about the huge BTC transaction in the block chain).  So any attack withdrawal would have been limited at most to the BTC's that were not moved offline.  I assume that would have been some small percentage based on a calculation of the average daily withdrawals.
