During this transition period we were hesitant to conflict with Zhou's statements, however we have decided that a clarification is necessary.
Much of the information available is misleading. We will be issuing a statement later today to clarify the situation.
It seems that my earlier post triggered a sudden need to post some more vague nonsense form the folks at Bitcoin Consultancy / Intersango.
If customers still have doubts about what I am saying, please take this as a sign. I am not at liberty to reveal my sources, but you can check my previous post on this forum stating that MtGox was experiencing some solvency problems, which was later admitted by Mark on the same thread.
The fact that I cannot (and will not) reveal my sources and / or further information does not mean that I am talking out of my ass. It seemed to hit a nerve at least that prompted a reply from them after a long silence.
By the way, watch this become the blaming game between Zhou and Bitcoinica. Bitcoinica Consultancy is already hitting at this on the above quote.
Much information is still needed. Why is the company website down? Why do the members of "Bitcoin Consultancy" needed a brand new forum account to speak about this issue instead of using their well-known forum accounts (deflect legal responsability?).
Also, note the name of the account: "Bitcoinica Consultancy" and NOT Bitcoin Consultancy. Why the sudden change?
So many FACTS to ponder ...
