You can't disclose if you are under a gag order. If Mark was running a fractional reserve because the coins were seized, and they got hit with the transaction mailability issue, that could set the stage for what we're seeing today.

I agree Occam's Razor applies here. That said, we still don't know a lot about what happened.

Would a gag order from a US court apply to a Frenchman in Japan?

In theory, or in reality? There could be explicit, implied, or even naively assumed 'underhanded compliance encouragement' going on.

I wouldn't put my money on explicit, but if it was, it wouldn't be the first time.
