Is this thing fucking BULLISH HuhHuh
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1z37zw/mt_gox_has_at_least_200k_btc/
Please, clear it to me.

From this we can see that the original addresses where MtGox proved they had the private keys (a few year backs) are still untouched . This probably means that Gox doesn't have direct access to them.  if the 750K is to be believed.

I doubt Mark has lost the keys, so I can believe they have been 'off limits' by order of the US government, who is investigating Silk Road.
And each time someone verifies a dodgy account, the US government checks them out.
So maybe some of the  BTC is not lost, just inaccessible (as Mark said in IRC).
But no more info from Mark because of a Gag Order.

-But some facts would be nice Smiley

The wallets belonging to Gox that people have found so far (containing about 550k BTC) have not been touched since 2011.

This is what's happend when more people come with bitcoins than people want withdrawals them
