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.
If the customer base of MtGOX could generate enough money to cover its debts, they would not be insolvent. They could get loans to pay those debts with pressing deadlines, and eventually get back into the black.
Being insolvent means that they have more debts than assets, and their expected revenues in the medium term (say, two years) are not enough to fill the gap.
A company that acquires MtGOX will inherit their debts, and cannot expect to make more money than they did a month or two ago. That means net losses (and
big losses, while the clients withdraw their balances), for years perhaps. What is the point of the takeover then?
Thus, I would be very surprised if MtGOX gets rescued.
I wouldn't be. I made the argument here, although it's a simplistic one:
