Bitcoin Exchange Mt. Gox Files for Bankruptcy Protection - WSJ.com

TOKYO—Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox said Friday it was filing for bankruptcy protection after losing almost 750,000 of its customers' bitcoins, marking the collapse of a marketplace that once dominated trading in the virtual currency.

The company said it also lost around 100,000 of its own bitcoins. Together, the lost bitcoins would be worth approximately $473 million at market prices charted by the CoinDesk bitcoin index, although the price of Mt. Gox bitcoin had fallen well below that index after it stopped bitcoin withdrawals in early February. (See a timeline of Bitcoin.)

I think it is actually pretty funny. I wouldn't have touched this idiotic Ayn Rand circlejerk pipe dream with a 10 foot pole of any of my money.

People should have seen this coming a mile away. Banks are regulated for a reason. If anything 2008 showed we need MORE regulation and proper oversight, not less.
