It's not getting bought out (for 1 BTC) - it's just a proposal that Karpeles will turn down. So, fix your title - it's misleading!

No kidding!  Fix title...so misleading.  That group only offered 1 BTC for Mtgox.  I can't see that happening anytime soon.



It does not matter as they are taking burden of a major portion of the account holders' investment.

Your title:
Re: Breaking News: Mt.Gox to be Bought & Revived by a U.S. based Investors Group

Mtgox is not being "bought & revived by a US based investors group".

There was just an offer put on the table according to the article.  I am sure there probably has been several offers already.

You also forgot to mention this from the article:

"The acquisition must be approved by a Japanese bankruptcy court. However, the near-zero valuation of the proposed deal could prove to be a hurdle, the Journal said."
