What Im really curious about is whether the funds at mt gox will be treated as a pool or whether they will differentiate between "these usd belong to client a, those belong to client b and from client b there are 40% missing and from client a there is 10% missing".
If you deposited usd in 2011 and every dime is missing, gone poof, while I deposited the same amount just a few days ago and every cent is there - should I get 50% of the total and you the other half or should I get all of it and you nada?
Your deposit would be equal to the person who had the balance since 2011. In the event of liquidation, you each should get the same percentage of your balance when it shut down.
