This seems to suggest that if someone did a thorough audit of MtGox's mess they might be able to figure out where these bitcoins went.
- sillysaurus3 13y agoUnfortunately, Mt. Gox's accounting appears to be nonexistent. For example, they recently revealed that they found 200,000 of the missing bitcoin. I could be wrong, but I don't think anyone analyzing the blockchain had a clue that those particular 200,000 bitcoin were still under Mt. Gox control, let alone traced where any other bitcoin went.
- gnaritas 13y agoI think you're wrong, reddit was tracking those coins and said Gox still controlled them over a week before he announced he'd found them. However I think you're right about accounting being non-existent.
- sillysaurus3 13y agoReally? Hmm, do you have any links I could look at? I thought they'd found some other large quantity of coins, but not the ones that have remained inactive since 2011 (the ones Mt. Gox said they recently found). Thanks for the info!

- sillysaurus3 13y agoIndeed, I remember similar threads. But the 200,000 BTC that Mt. Gox found has remained inactive and unmoved since 2011. I can't find any Reddit thread that discovered those inactive coins before Mt. Gox did.
- cpncrunch 13y agoCertainly the accounting and reconciliation was non-existent. However it looks like if some effort was put into looking through of MtGox's records, you might be able to figure out what is going on. I don't trust Mark Karpeles to do that.
