MtGox fucked up

Yes they did but to be fair to them they were never a bank or any sort of financial institution. They were "Magic the Gathering Online Exchange". They had wacky side projects like rewriting SSH in PHP. Why did anyone entrust them with real assets?

MagicalTux (Mark Karpeles) actually bought the mtgox.com domain off of the previous owner, IIRC. Under his ownership it was never about MTG.
