Bankruptcy means that the outcome of “all creditors getting what they were owed” is off the table. What is at issue is their fair disposition of what is left which is known to be inadequate to the ideal.

The only reason it would matter to you is that you entrusted something to MtGox. That, arguably, is your responsibility.
