Where exactly did you read this? I have asked for clarification of this fact.. and I have yet to find it.. All I have found is speculation and heresay...
Could you please do me a kindness, ..... LINK!?!?!
Good question. I know I saw this officially stated somewhere - I absolutely remember reading it and knowing it was from Adam or Mark aka official - and not just in irc. I'm 90% sure it was on the support page mtgox.com is being redirected to.
I'm basically like you. I know I have read it somewhere, but I can't remember any further detail.
