"A call center has been established to respond to all inquiries. The call center is planned to start on March 3, 2014. All inquiries to MtGox Co., Ltd. should be made to the following telephone number:

Telephone number +81 3-4588-3921
Working hours Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm (Japan time)"

I think that this phone will overheat...

they lose 500 million USD of bitcoin or some such.....

they have 35 million USD in assets

this is likely a voice msg system to inform (under bankruptcy law) how that share of 35 million in assets will be handled by the bankruptcy process..as to the
bitcoin that is not real fiat under Japanese law..so that will NOT be address imho...the usd paid as an exchange for services they can track etc for fraud on such
transactions imho but the actual 'worth' of the coin....the bankruptcy guys will not touch that again imho

and as a guy who was involved in a class action suit against Washington mutual who was involved in the meltdown of real estate that helped start the
great recession 2008 ..out if 500 million of loses there ...my share was $10.38c ...I got it like 6yrs later as an example (it is framed with the check as
a life lesson will someday go up in the bathroom)

this is just something they have to do cause they went bankrupt imho..it is not gonna do much to improve mtgox owners mood imho

(will be like adding gasoline to a fire imho)

Very good point. I know it's very hard for many people who has money in MTgox to accept the fact that they lost all their funds.
They accepted the risk when they "invested" in bitcoin,using mtgox. Any investment might be lost. There is always a risk.

"invest only what you can afford to lose" it must be the adage for those who are using Bitcoin and the exchange services.

Stop with the silly quotes. Who would ever accept "they lost all their funds" when the facts are not clear yet. Only a fool wouldn't keep pressing until there are solid facts. Bitcoin won't move as well until this is resolved, and silly coindesk articles won't change that. there will be no trust if Mtgox does in fact fold. There isn't a single exchange that people feel is trustworthy or backed by some insurance. So hoping bitcoin will grow after is silly until that happens (some trustworthy services). If MtGox does fail and no funds are returned, it's going to be very bad for bitcoin. Merchants won't use it, banks won't accept it. If there is some restitution, or it somehow comes back online (almost impossible), that would be huge news for bitcoin.
