Now, to wrap up this thought experiment. After taking all of these factual points into your consideration, do you believe Mt Gox is solvent? Are these the actions of a company that has made a concious decision to stay in business and grow their customer base? Be honest with yourself, it may save you some money and ฿.
I don't know if they are solvent or not, but the idea that they are insolvent in USD but solvent in BTC makes no sense.
Mt Gox undoubtedly has reserves of both USD and ฿. This starts to get real ugly when a critical amount of customers attempt to take ฿ off the exchange and further erode liquidity. This can only go on for so long, the next four weeks will be telling.
