I'm under the impression that MtGox had some actual real life impact, how many important systems are twisted beasts like this.



Ya, MtGox had people's savings in it. I really feel sorry for them and hope Mark's arrest and trial give them some justice even though they won't be made financially whole again.

Depends. How many times does a Magic the Gathering Online Exchange attempt to become a real financial institution?


From what I understand it was never a magic the gathering exchange.

The original author reused an old domain for the bitcoin exchange afaik.


That doesn't make the business look any more professionally managed.


Many, many more than anyone will admit.


I feel the urge to crawl through wikileaks all of a sudden.
