My favorite theory is that MtGox recently discovered it is unable to access one or more cold wallets.  Could be as simple as writing down the wrong case in a password, or more complex like writing the cold storage with old / buggy custom software, and later trying to read it with newer software.   Or even simpler like leaving the USB key with 700,000 coins on it at the Starbucks counter.   haha.

Anyway, it may be that Mark and co are using this time frantically trying to access the cold storage.  Maybe trying password combinations or whatever.

And if they crack that nut.... maybe you'll get your money back.

At least there seems to exist that chance.  Maybe cause for hope.
