The name is Karpeles" not "Karpelez", right?
Correct
ok, ok I know this is completely baseless speculation, but as this is the speculation subforum...
If Gox replaces lost BTC by buying them on another exchange, this is uberbullish. Disclosure: trading on the assumption that this is even a real irc chat much less on the assumption that Karpeles is telling the truth is extremely risky.
Ignoring that we have no hint at that happening, it simply.. cant happen.
I would imagine they could only get all the bids (744k) filled at ~3000. There, enough people should flock in to take profits and fill Gox.
That is an astounding 2 billion dollars. #NotGonnaHappen
I'll grant you that it's mighty unlikely, but weirder things have happened. A messaging app was just bought up for 19 billion dollars by Facebook, for example.
