how can they " assume all of Mt. Goxs liabilities and obligations.",
and say that the creditors willl get back a prorated amount ?
Paying the creditors is the first liabilitie isn't it ?
Possibly because they believe that the Japanese authorities won't consider bitcoins to be assets of MtGox at all, so won't appear on the balance sheet as a liability?
That has always seemed like a very likely outcome to me.
Not that. Re-read:
"Creditors will have two options. They can either receive a prorated amount from the 200,000 bitcoins recovered by Mt. Gox"
