At least there seems to be a silver lining about Tax Deductions due to losses.

I own approximately $0.02 in Bitcoins stored at Mt. Gox. I likely won't see it again...

Dear MtGox Customers,

As there is a lot of speculation regarding MtGox and its future, I would like to use this opportunity to reassure everyone that I am still in Japan, and working very hard with the support of different parties to find a solution to our recent issues.

Furthermore I would like to kindly ask that people refrain from asking questions to our staff: they have been instructed not to give any response or information. Please visit this page for further announcements and updates.

Sincerely,
Mark Karpeles

MtGox received a Federal subpoena to preserve data.

Sounds like MtGox is going to have more than just Japanese police breathing down their necks. This could get very uncomfortable for the CEO.

Mt Gox filed for bankruptcy.
I can't read The following PDF

But the following PDF doesn't even make any sense. It's like they are saying that they won't do anything to help until they decide they're going to help...
