Gandlaf: No that isn't my statement. You seem to really want to add to what you read. My statement is this:
MtGox has enough funds to cover any losses from the recently stolen coins and has enough to cover what it owes me to date.
MtGox will cover any debt to its customers before it pays me.
The fact that I haven't been paid yet has nothing to do with mtgox's ability to pay. It only has to do with the fact that neither I nor Mark have made time to complete the payment.

In that case, I do want to apologize for ever having even harboured the slightest doubts! You Jed, are quite obviously a saint(or as close as one gets nowadays without divine intervention). Giving up a multimillion dollar business, signing a contract, not insistiting on payment, it sounds like a fairytale. You must be a truely wonderful and completely selfless individual to just wait for payment for your idea if/when it comes.

The only question for me would be the following: Why keep an admin account to audit payments, if everything is dandy, if your first concern is the bitcoin community and you really don´t want to see a penny before everyone has been paid?

Furthermore, I don´t really get your final point:
"The fact that I haven't been paid yet has nothing to do with mtgox's ability to pay. It only has to do with the fact that neither I nor Mark have made time to complete the payment."

A BTC transfer should be fairly easy(if you don´t know how to do it just ask in the forum), or is it that you aren´t really willing to invest in BTC? In that case I do get it, the MtGox $1000 limit can be a bit of a nuisance.
Apart from the technicalities, let me get this right: You did not make time for/to complete a payment with 6 or 7 figures(by early June) Huh

I love fairytales, but this response is BS.

You would be a truly unique individual to just let a multimillion $ business go.

So why not cut the crap and just disclose in how far you are still involved with MtGox?

look, Jed told me many months ago when i asked him why he sold mtgox that he was afraid of the legal ramifications of running an exchange. this is understandable for a US citizen given what the US gov't does to people who go against it. he also told me he was afraid of the technical challenges confronting an exchange and that Mark would be more suited to dealing with security issues. time has proven Jed correct insofar as his fears went. too bad for us that Mark wasn't as good as Jed had hoped but that certainly isn't his fault.

Jed also doesn't stand to make a multimillion profit on his sale i'm willing to bet. so he really is just doing us all a favor by not collecting right now.
