This is actually good news. I applaud Mark and the MtGox team for making the right decision as I had to do the same. Speaking very lengthy to Mark and the team over the weekend, I see good news on the horizon for people who have funds stuck in MtGox (I also have funds in MtGox stuck) - Charlie

Charlie, did you ask Mark to publicly prove MtGox's solvency? Its easy to do and MtGox did it before using their internal BTC wallets. Are you concerned that you are being led up the garden path?

It's quite possible I am, I really hope not. I never did because I don't think I'm in a position to ask him that, given my current legal situation. I appreciate the communities support!

What we have overall is an expression of optimism but not conviction.
