And here we are today. If this theory is correct, there are 750,000 less bitcoins in existence than what everyone thought.

For this to be true, those coins would have to have been lost. Where in this scenario did this loss occur? If the hackers mixed coins and eventually resent them to Gox to sell them, how do we conclude that they were then lost?

Unless MK lost the private keys (unsubstantiated), those coins are still in the supply.

I think hes just saying "750k less coins than were thought to exist, exist"

As in, the 750k are gone to wherever and exist normally. However the 750k in Gox users' accounts? Well, it doesnt exist (But, they were actively traded on the exchange, so they "half existed" for awhile)
