If this is true, then they have something to regret all their lives. I wonder if they did KYC when they traded there; there is a possibility that they will contest the buyer of their account and ask for verification to recover those accounts. I mean, we never know the character of these sellers because the profit is too huge not to do something.
Yes, this is true. Even though I haven't seen any thread where the seller offered to sell their account, I have heard from some OG forum members that some Mt. Gox victims sold their accounts here and there. But we don't know who is the buyer. I also understand that old owner of that account may want to get back their account after they heard that mt. gox is going to pay them back. But I don't think it is going to work anymore because the list of victims already finalized and it cannot be changed anymore. So, no matter if they come back again and scream to get back their account.
Well, in that case, they have their whole lives to blame if they have over 10 Bitcoins on MtGox by the time they sell their account; every one of their 120k users has their story to share after they claim their Bitcoins.
Anyway, Mt.gox has an official account here. This was his last post before he passed the torch on managing the site, and this was when Bitcoin was worth only two digits.
Hello Everyone
I created mtgox on a lark after reading about bitcoins last summer. It has been interesting and fun to do. I’m still very confident that bitcoins have a bright future. But to really make mtgox what it has the potential to be would require more time than I have right now. So I’ve decided to pass the torch to someone better able to take the site to the next level.
Thanks to everyone that has supported mtgox so far. Can’t wait to see BTC hit $10!
I can still be reached on the forum as "jed" or through fivegrinder.com
