That's why I've been arguing for putting Mt. Gox into involuntary bankruptcy in Japan. Someone in the legal forum is gearing up to do that.
Someone mentioned they were doing that early this week so I assumed it's why they halted trading, nobody else is talking about it though.
I was hoping they wouldn't because the funds may have been recovered in time.. instead we just have high rollers taking legal action for 30% or whatever, probably leaving nothing for the low btc peasants.
