I wonder if am I the only one here who does not like the thought of another member of the bitcoin foundation taking over Gox.  From, this whole debacle, it was clear to me that they were perfectly willing to circle the wagons and protect another member, until the problem was literally at catastrophic proportions.  All this occurred at the expense of the greater bitcoin community as a whole because of the damage this collapse did to the public perception of bitcoin.  Even more concerning to me would be the potential for this Oliver Janssens getting preferential treatment or being named to a position of power in the new entity by leveraging the collective debt of mtgoxrecovery.  

While the idea of an outside investor buying up the company and making everyone whole is awesome, I know not to get my hopes up.  However, there is definitely value in having access to Mt. Gox's client base.  It has been around for a long time and if the new owner could demonstrate solvency through independent audits and builds a more modern platform than the previous site, it could easily become a major player.  While some people may not return simply based on the name, if the new Gox offers the best game in town, most people will not pass it up.  After all, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
