Serious question: Would anyone use "GOX" if it was bought by a reputable company and re branded allowing limited customer withdrawals but with a guarantee that finds are safe. Then if they implemented full transparancy of user funds??
If the company is well known and can win back trust (e.g. by implementing a proof-of-ownership for all funds) I'm sure many people would. Also MK would need to be driven away with a large stick first.
Well if the company is bought undoubtadley MK would be no where near it, I wouldn't be suprised if any new owners publicly slate him and what he's done ( if lost coins due to negligence turns out to be true).
With the massive customer base and amount of verified accounts it must be like a honey pot to many investors, one can only hope that someone is able to bail them out and an anouncement either way is made soon.
