Wie konnten Coins eigentlich bei Mtgox noch 130$ Wert sein und bei anderen Börsen immer noch 500$? Und wieso sind Coins an Börsen gebunden? Hat man die nicht bei sich im Wallet?
Ponzi-Schema dann jetzt zuende oder geht da noch ein Hype bis man diese Scheisse endlich beerdigt?

Someone (or multiple people) did this:
Withdrew money (bitcoin) from their account
Created a fake receipt with the transaction details, but a different transaction ID.
Told the bank (Gox) that they never got the money, and showed them the forged receipt as proof.
Gox sent them more money in a new transaction with no verification other than checking the transaction ID on the forged receipt and seeing that it didn't exist in their system.
This was repeated over and over, apparently without anyone at Gox auditing their actual cash in the vault (bitcoins in cold+hot storage) and matching it up to the account balances of their users (Gox's database).
Gox was robbed of a massive amount of coins (800k+) at some prior point in time, possibly June 2011, and has been operating a fractional reserve since.
Gox determined that it was better to continue operating the exchange, probably both for the sake of Bitcoin, and for their customers who would eventually be made whole from fees earned.
Gox knew of transaction malleability and had been keeping that scapegoat in their back pocket to use in the event of a bank run. Or, they didn't know but the losses from TM were actually recent and minor. Or, they didn't know but the losses from TM occurred over a long period of time and they never noticed because they never reconciled the books, because they knew they wouldn't match anyway because they were already fractional.
Karpeles in Tokyo says MtGox is bankrupt. 750,000 customer bitcoins stolen & 120,000 company bitcoins stolen. None left
Da wird man natürlich versuchen, ein Exempel statuieren. Wenns man einen Betrug konstruieren kann, wird mans tun. Alternativ wird man versuchen, im grobe Fahrlässigkeit anzulasten.
