just a thought, i know that this may sound a little " conspiracy theorist" but anyone else think that this may be caused by the people that are trying to control crypto ( politicians) so that they get " their" cut?
I can tell you for a FACT that News coverage was biased as well as non-factual. I watched it and was pretty pissed off I can tell you. I've been explaining for a week how the coin can't be "Hacked" and it was only an exchange an it was 2 YEARS ago to boot! People are generally morons and eat up whatever they are spoon fed.
well about people being morons, i can categorically agree.
to be honest, as i'm reading and catching up, i find it suspect that all this happens as popularity is exploding and the very concept is gaining momentum. while at the same time it seems that politicians are crying out that they can't get their cut of the proceeds. and then a bunch of media outlets report on this, at around the same time the obama administration's FCC debacle is coming to light.
One of the more interesting recent outcomes...
http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/09/mt-gox-hack-allegedly-reveals-bitcoin-balances-customer-account-totals/that 101,000 BTC difference is quite interesting.
depending on accounting methods i can see a discrepancy of up to 5,000, however a discrepancy of over 100,000? who is doing the accounting over their nancy pelosi?
their is also the discrepancy of the total amount of BTC deposited and withdrawn, which doesn't match up with current holdings. and the holdings of japanese yen, british pounds and USD is interesting. there is enough fiat within their holdings to cover a loss like the one that they are claiming. and those are insured. ( depending on your accounting methods, which i would hope that they have enough combined knowledge to play around with)
