Please try not to speculate.
Its just a post.
the likelihood its a lie or misinformed is 50/50
the likelihood its the truth or misinformed is 50/50
Truth is perception, in the end. Unless you do
your homework.
Please DO try to speculate. There is nothing wrong with a hypothesis that turns out to be incorrect.
The scientific method involves brainstrorming for a wide variety of hypotheses, then knocking out the hypotheses which do not stand to the evidence as it comes in.
Modern science has come very far very fast on the strength of this method of exploration. Religion and politics have stagnated and look about the same as they have for the past several thousand years because they mainly reject these methods.
Most importantly, do your own thinking. Most posters here just state some (usually absurd) assertion as though it were fact. That's because there are a lot of imbeciles and youngsters around these parts. In Bitcoinland doing your own analysis can make you rich...or at least help you to not get ripped off.
Over 99.99% of the people on this blog do not have access to the facts regarding Mt. Gox. Including you. So all that speculation is based on hot air and is worthless. Even if someone states exactly what happened, no-one here can vouch it (its just a lucky hit) In science, everyone shares the so called facts and results, so speculation about what they mean works because some people already have the experience to know.
Am I Black or White? You have the same chance to determine this as a monkey. Same with people who don't have facts about Mt. Gox.
