Bitcoin prices moved in a tight 15 points range today. The lowest low
marked on BTC-E stands at $562.45, the highest high at $547.97. One bitcoin is
quoted at $564.70 on the exchange, compared to $560.60 on BitStamp.
Japanese website Toyokeizai.net came out with a piece on failed bitcoin
exchange MtGox. The article quotes CoinSight.org, a site dedicated to following how bitcoins move
around the world. CoinSight has a dedicated page for MtGox. According to the article, between March 7th
and March 10th around 530,000 bitcoins have been moved from addressees
known to belong to the firm. Reddit users have noted that CoinSight counts stuck transactions as well so the
actual number of coins is likely less than 530K. Few days ago the exchange reported that it has ‘’found’’ 200,000 bitcoins in an old wallet.
The move was cited by a creditor’s representative who filed a petition
with the Tokyo District Court dated March 11: ‘’Requests regarding massive
bitcoin withdrawals were made which should have been impossible for anyone
other than those with special bitcoin exchange access rights, such as representatives
(i.e., Mark Karpeles) of the rehabilitation debtor (MTGOX)’’.
Nobuaki Kobayashi, an attorney serving on the oversight committee for
the MtGox civil rehabilitation case, didn’t comment on the findings, his
secretary was quoted as saying: ‘’No response can be given to questions
regarding this case.’’
