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 GroupMtgox 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.

"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."Please note that in OP I have referred everyone to the actual Wall Street Journal article so everyone can read for themselves.
In my view Mt.Gox is eventually going to be bought & revived by a investors group anyways.
Furthermore, almost all acquisitions of bankrupt companies in Japan have to seek court permission. This is common sense.
