But realize that Bitcoin will never in a million years be widely adopted by the public if everybody needs to do an in-depth investigation of a financial service before buying some BTC.
In-depth investigation? It should take you at most 5-10 minutes googling Gox to pick up on the abundance of warning signs, and if you ain't got the time for that you should stay away from BTC or accept the risks you are taking.
Most of the people who's lost money on Gox now new the risks perfectly well but chose to stay. Personally I read the writing on the wall back in june and abandoned Gox for good. No sympaties, this has been predicted for months.
