There is so much excellence in this fledgling economy, I hope with Gox's passing we can get on the path to celebrating what is great about it and not forever dwelling over the most recent turd in the punch bowl.

just think of the big, not failing exchanges like:

they're "gone" in that they're sitting in gox employee wallets or the wallets of some smart dudes who figured out how to use malleability to take out way more bitcoins than they should have been able to .

the best part is that they are likely not gone, just stolen. which means someone likely will be looking for a chance to cash them out :getin:

thats only if gox stole them. if it was outsiders stealing them, they've probably been selling them on the other exchanges long before this, and using the profits to get more to steal out of gox.

Acting as a custodian should require a high-bar, including appropriate security safeguards that are independently audited and tested on a regular basis, adequate balance sheets and reserves as commercial entities, transparent and accountable customer disclosures, and clear policies to not use customer assets for proprietary trading or for margin loans in leveraged trading. It does not appear to any of us that MtGox followed any these essential requirements as a financial services provider.

God drat the irony.
