This is just great journalism.  I applaud what you all are doing with this show.  Excellent, fascinating, passionate work.

Charlie is so naive. The state is not there to help.

Naive? Not seen the signs? Mt.Gox has fucked people since it opened.

Who would buy a company that is insolvents? HAHAHA.... Many many morons...

Does that mean people get their money back?

This was a great episode!  Keep up the outstanding work LTB Team!

Exchanges should be treated like a vulnerability which needs to be solved.

You mention the people running Mt.Gox were older and more experienced... Do you think they didn't take bitcoin seriously and looked at it like it doesn't matter what they do, the currency is a scam to begin with?  I know you want to think MArk is a good person but, that's how sociopaths operate...

Really? Founder of an bitinstant exchange and an early adopter keeps his BTC on other exchange known to have issues for a long time trusting to get those IOU back. Who else should know that only you should have the encrypted private key to your money?
