a nice analysis of Mtgox's current financial situation from Ryan Selkis. I am amazed by the details he provided.

source: http://www.scribd.com/doc/209050732/MtGox-Situation-Crisis-Strategy-Draft

In the paper it says: "The cold storage has been wiped out due to a leak in the hot wallet".

How is this possible?Huh??. Are they coupled?Huh. Or is it a huge theft by Mark Karpeles???

Has someone an answer for this?
Hot Pocket held, about, 2% of all BTC.
So, if the Hot Pocket (wallet) was less then 2% it was topped off by the Frigid Wallet.

Yes, but not automatically, otherwise it would not be a cold (frigid) wallet by definition, or am i wrong?

Its all about definition.
Some one or some thing updated the Hot Pocket with new coins from the Frigid Wallet.
If it was a dedicated hardware, a person, software, whatever... doesnt matter. The thing doing the transfers did not take notice.
