Yeah, thanks for fanning the flames of a vigilante lynching in the making.

Don't be so melodramatic, nobody is literally being lynched.

Now I'm usually a pretty cold-hearted bastard, and I'll admit that I had very little stake in MtGox (I never conducted any business there), but I sort of agree with the above. Yes, he probably deserves some Internet hate. The problem is that this Internet hate is not likely to be the full extent of the hate he'll get over this thing.

I, for one, hope that the dude hasn't fucked over the entire rest of his life.

Why would you assume violence? If he has covered up massive losses like this for a while but still taken deposits then he may be criminally liable.
