"Oh there's that $116 million I was looking for!". I suppose that given the level of incompetence and/or malfeasance at Mt.Gox, this shouldn't be that suprising. What is actually more surprising is that they ever became the primary BTC exchange in the first place.
I first wrote them off as a scam years ago when I read a Bitcointalk thread wherein Gox tried to explain away their aggressive "tainted" coin confiscation policy. They essentially explained that they were confiscating all coins that they deemed to be tied to theft or illegal activity at any point in the blockchain - in their sole discretion. Yet somehow, with that and many more very public red flags, they just kept growing.
