The most interesting notion that Gox may be being purchased by outsiders makes a TON of sense!!
Imagine you're Mark-- totally sick of running your company, dudes are getting in your way while you're carrying your scrumptious coffee-beverage to work (idiots), and no one really understands your pure awesomeness... you have maybe 10,000 BTC (idk!?!?) and someone offers you millions!! to walk away from gox == yummy coffee-beverages without idiots.
What would you do?
Win-Win-Win
It actually adds up nicely.
Nice. And maybe you can insert a nice little backdoor in the code before you sell it, too.
