I thought these coins weren't lost to the bitcoin ether and in a wallet that is inacessable. I thought they were defrauded by people running duplicate transactions out. And somehow the cold wallet was being drained into the hot wallet. Which should have run out of coins well before theist 750k bitcoins.
- gkoberger 13y agoThat's the "official" (via the leak) story, however a few things to note: - Pretty much everyone agrees there's no way even with their incompetence that Mt Gox could have had all those stolen via malleability (although likely some were). - MK said the coins are "technically speaking [...] not 'lost' just yet, just temporarily unavailable". This implies Gox owns them but can't access them.

- sillysaurus3 13y agoCould you give a source on that MK statement? It's the first I've heard of it.
- maxerickson 13y agoI haven't been watching it super closely, have any of the reports around 750k bitcoin actually been substantive, or is it rumor and speculation?
