I lost 18 BTC to MtGox... Bought most of them when the exchange rate was about $500.
I knew there was danger in keeping it on the exchange. I wanted to show my girlfriend who bought one of those BTC how easy it was to transfer them to a local machine, to demonstrate the power of Bitcoin because I was passionate about it and thought it had a chance of changing our corrupt banking system.
She kept putting me off, she thought it was some big procedure and just wanted me to do it. I forgot about it after that for a couple of months... Then MtGox exploded.
:-(
If you're out there, MtGox thief, I worked for that BTC. Karma will get you in the end.
