So Chine being dead will be the next best thing to happen to bitcoin?
Btw- MtGox bought gox.com domain... I'm pretty sure they are not gone yet. They may come back with a new domain and have everything go back to normal.
Why do people assume they have ran off with everyone's bitcoins? Can they really get away with something like this?
2 things wrong here:
1) Implying Mark can run.
2) It's speculated that they LOST the coins.
Lol.. you're a funny guy.
Ok, so them claiming some BS that they lost the coins would make more sense. But I don't understand how they can say that when there's a public ledger that keeps records of all transactions of every coin out there.
Why do people assume they have ran off with everyone's bitcoins?
Because everything indicates that they did.
Can they really get away with something like this?
Probably. Keeping trades going while nobody can get their privately owned funds out should already have resulted in criminal charges.
I still don't understand how such a well known public figure like Mark K. won't face any prosecution if they really did run off with the coins... just because we are dealing with crypto currency and not "actual money" basic laws don't apply? That's BS
