The government certainly didn't steal the coins. With all the things it deals with, why would it bother its ass stealing from us via Mt Gox?
It makes no sense whatsoever.

It makes no sense to you, but what do you know of black markets?
Black markets are what the world runs on. It is why the US Army is being puppeted to run the UK's poppy fields in Afghanistan.
Anyway, I have said from the very beginning that the FBI is the first obvious thief here, since they stole from the whole world at Silk Road. To capture one or two bad guys (sure SR had some shitheads in it making money off fake silver and stuff) and punish 200 innocnets is how they think. I am not making this up, it's all history and established pattern of conduct.
Like an airplane goes missing. It's so weird what a piece of shit TV is, ya know? Like, TV is just the god damned stupidest person in the room, isn't it?
