Can someone please answer me this question.
I keep reading everywhere that Mt. Gox "Lost" 750k Bitcoins.
Did they lose them forever? Like when someone loses their private key, or hard drive crash.
Or
Were they stolen and still could be in circulation?
Thanks
IMHO, they were short short 750K bitcoins from at least two years ago. In other words, they sold the public Bitcoin that did not exist.
The could not cover their short fall, so the claim is they lost 750K bitcoins.
