MtGox

That's kind of a silly argument TPTB.

No one on either side of these debates ever claims there are no counterexamples.

Likewise someone else citing BTC-E as an example later in the thread also proves nothing.

As does whether one is anonymous or not proves nothing too.

Btw, you and the Monero devs are anonymous, and I am not.

There two non-anon Monero core team members, five anon.

I mentioned both citing the examples of MtGox (non-anon, scam) and BTC-E (anon, non-scam, so far) as silly arguments.

It is not about the existence of examples, it is about relative risk, both actual and perceived, though in reality "actual" is unobservable so it may not matter, except as a philosophical debate now and a historical debate later.
