Faulty software in MtGox's custom cold storage has resulted in 1.75 million inaccessible coins. Probably they will never be recovered but people are working very hard on this. This one of the reasons you will see the price surge. Of course, if the lost coins are recovered, that will cause a correction.
No.
That doesn't appear to be true. You seem to be making things up out of your own imagination rather than paying attention to real facts.
Nope. It's all true. I read it on the Internet. But seriously... who knows for sure outside of MtGox.... I have heard differing estimates on the number of coins missing. I don't buy the stolen through malleability excuse. Lost due to fucked up programming and business process is the most realistic explanation. So what do you think happened? Stolen?
