As I said earlier in the wall thread (in similar words):

The ambiguous phrasing of the gox press release wasn't coincidence, of course.

I'm not even talking about a "conspiracy" style explanation that they're trying to manipulate their way out of a shortage of coins by bringing down the price and rebuying coins cheaper (so they can serve their customers). Makes sense, but even I don't think Karpeles would go that low.

No, the real explanation for the phrasing is:

Blame transfer.

Gox is willing to damage the reputation of the *entire* Bitcoin ecosystem, so *they* don't have to take the blame for not implementing their wallet software properly.


Seriously: To anyone still using mtgox -- stop. Withdraw your money (or try it), withdraw your coins (or try it), and let them die off.

We need mtgox removed from the system for Bitcoin to grow further.
