Why did they wait 2 years to shut down liberty reserve? It takes time to build a case.
If that was their plan, they probably wouldn't have telegraphed it by seizing only their US accounts, thereby giving them time to move funds and destroy evidence.
I don't think Mt. Gox will be shut down, but I do not like that they have not even addressed the issue, and I won't risk funds with them until there is some clarity around their position.
As for Bitcoin itself, anything that happens to Mt. Gox will be a temporary setback. New, compliant exchanges are opening and will continue to open.
gox and communication.. ..
whenever they make statements.. it's always with open ends.. and let us guessing in the dark..
