Nuevo aviso en la web de Mt.Gox. ¡"Pa mear y no echar gota!"
March 20, 2014
To everyone concerned
Mark Karpeles
Representative Director
MtGox Co., Ltd.
We inform you as follows with regard to the balance of bitcoins (BTC) held by MtGox Co., Ltd.
1. MtGox Co., Ltd. had certain oldformat wallets which were used in the past and which, MtGox
thought, no longer held any bitcoins. Following the application for commencement of a civil
rehabilitation proceeding, these wallets were rescanned and their balance researched. On March 7,
2014, MtGox Co., Ltd. confirmed that an oldformat wallet which was used prior to June 2011 held a
balance of approximately 200,000 BTC (199,999.99 BTC). MtGox Co., Ltd. investigated the presence of
these 200,000 BTC, immediately reported it to its counsels in the application for commencement of a
civil rehabilitation proceedings ("counsels"). A hearing took place on March 8 where a detailed
explanation of the situation was made to counsels. Immediately on Monday (March 10), counsels
reported the existence of the 200,000 BTC to the Court and the Supervisor.
2. For security reasons, the 200,000 BTC which were at first on the 7
th
moved to online wallets
were moved between the 14
th
and the 15
th
to offline wallets. These bitcoin movements (including the
change in the manner in which these bitcoins were stored) has been reported to the Court and the
Supervisor by counsels.
Further, the bitcoins held today by MtGox Co., Ltd. amount to a total of approximately 202,000 BTC,
including the above 200,000 BTC and the approximately 2,000 BTC which existed prior to the
application for commencement of a civil rehabilitation proceeding.
3. MtGox Co., Ltd. had previously reported about the disappearance of bitcoins which had
triggered this application for commencement of a civil rehabilitation proceeding that MtGox Co., Ltd.
had lost almost all of the approximately 850,000 bitcoins it held (approximately 750,000 BTC
corresponding to the balance of bitcoins belonging from users as seen from transaction records as well
as approximately 100,000 BTC belonging to MtGox). Taking into account the existence of the 200,000
BTC, the total number of bitcoins which have disappeared is therefore estimated to be approximately
650,000 BTC. (Please note that the reasons for their disappearance and the exact number of bitcoins
which disappeared is still under investigation and that the above figures may still change depending
on the results of the investigation.)
