For Christs sake, MagicTux, IMO at least quit camping/having sex/sleeping/flying in aeroplanes/etc for 10 minutes and just freeze all transfers in/out of MtGox until this is sorted out!  At this point any concern about how such a thing might reflect on your business or Bitcoin is surely dwarfed by the bad PR these theft allegations are generating?

One other observation.  There is a striking plurality of newbs purporting to be affected by this... which, to some extent, might suggest that the real nature of this attack might be some kind of weird social engineering trick either to make MtGox look bad or create Bitcoin FUD....

That's just an idea though -- sincere apologies to any innocent victims who I may very well be falsely indicting with that line of reasoning -- still it needs to be considered.  By hiring a handful of guys to repeatedly start new forum accounts and post that they were robbed on MtGox, an anti-Bitcoin-villain could create quite a bit of understandable anxiety about the safety and efficacy of BTC.  Anybody good at fingerprinting forum posters?
