To all the HN members who lost a lot of money in this closing, remember the community is here for you. Don't do anything too rash and if you need someone to talk to, myself and most other people would be happy to lend an ear.

- enscr 13y agoThis should be at the top
- xenophanes 13y agoSomething bad happened. Some people are sad. Let's bring up the topic of suicide and make sure they are all aware of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111 And then feel good about how kind and helpful we are. People already know suicide hotlines exist. If they want one they can google it or siri it or whatever. You aren't giving them new information, just telling them, basically, that you wouldn't find it surprising if they killed themselves over this.
- dkokelley 13y agoEmotions run high when something of this magnitude happens. Judgement gets clouded. A reminder is very important as a way to intercept those without a clear head before they do something rash.
- gargarplex 13y agoFuck you. When you're REALLY upset (hint: I am, and I have thought of suicide) a suicide hotline isn't necessarily the first thing on your mind.

- scottcanoni 13y agoUntil Mt. Gox publicly confirms that no one will be getting their BTC and/or fiat money back, I think it's wrong to assume money owed to the users has been lost. Please have faith that they will do the right thing.
- jellicle 13y agoYou're in stage 1, denial.

- mikro2nd 13y agoGiven their behaviour to date there's absolutely no rational basis for "faith that they will do the right thing".
- waterlesscloud 13y agoWell, as of now, it's not entirely their choice. The courts have a large say in things now. But I don't think there's a lot of money here to go around, in any case.
- thenmar 13y agoIn the article they confirm that they lost 850,000 BTC. What assets do they have that they could give back?
- TheCoelacanth 13y agoIt seems highly unlikely that anyone will get all of their money back. They announced that they have debts of 6.5 billion yen and assets of only 3.84 billion yen. If they can liquidate 100% of their assets that's only enough to pay back 59% of their debts.
- rbobby 13y ago6.5b yen is only 63 million USD. The 850,000 BTC wasn't included as a debt (which is roughly 475 million USD).
