i wouldn't mind an audit either. my whole argument is how you're going about it. the way you propose will damage mtgox and i can't understand how you can't see that. or maybe you do.
Great to hear that you agree that an audit makes sense. Given that you seem to be in close contact with the former as well as the current owner:
because Jed has told me it was his acct that got hacked after the SQL injection.
still doesn't absolve Mark.
maybe you can pass along the common sentiment of this thread to Mark.
its not b/c i have any special privileges at all. its b/c i take an active interest in my investments and want to know the people i'm trusting as much as possible in this type of environment. all it takes is for you to go on IRC, PM him, email him, etc. and you will get answers to all your questions.
and i will mention that he publish a third party audit. you should too.
