500k Bitcoins traded in 1h, Mt.Gox market hacked +...
Out of curiosity, how does the Mt.Gox hold the bitcoins. Do they have a bitcoin account for every user or do they hold all the bitcoins in their account and trades are only changes in their database?

The latter; in the block chain you can see a single address that holds over 400K BTC.
