Today, there was an article in the Wall Street Journal entitled Wanted : A Bitcoin Regulator.

It seems to me that these events are an occasion for the government to step in and wield control over the Bitcoin network. I personally feel that if you were unfortunately stupid enough to leave any majority of your bitcoins on MT Gox, that they were better off to part ways with you. I say, cut your losses, and return to your day jobs, and please, don't go crying to your nanny state to clean up your mess.

Best Regards
