I'll defend anyone against rumors, amateurish "leaked" documents, and unconfirmed allegations.

It's to everyone's benefit in this community that we have accurate, solid information and not jump to conclusions. Circumstantial evidence is being used to declare MtGox insolvency as a foregone conclusion, rather than just a fairly high likelihood. This is wrong. It is poor reckoning of evidence, even if they do turn out to be insolvent in the end.

The "crisis document" is so badly fake it would be laughable in different circumstances, but I fear that many (including myself) have been blinded by either greed or hope over the past couple of weeks.

Leaked paper doesn't look like professional, but so does MtGox. What do you expect? They used to trade some cards.
Don't give victims false hope. Many people are in first stage of grief.

I lost 1.8BTC to some scammers, so I can imagine some victims' pain when they lost 75BTC or more on MtGox.

Not giving anyone false hope. As I said I fear some with funds in Gox since before the lockdown have been blinded by hope and some going wild trading real BTC for Gox BTC by fear: ie despite strange documents appearing etc. it looks like game over.

EDIT: greed!  Grin
