Mt. Gox has discovered 200,000 missing bitcoins in a wallet no longer in use, the troubled Bitcoin exchange announced Thursday, reducing the number of missing bitcoins from 850,000 to 650,000.

"We believed there were no bitcoins left in old wallets, but found 199,999.99 bitcoins on March 7," Mt. Gox Chief Executive Officer Mark Karpeles said in a document (PDF) released Thursday. Mt. Gox said it reported the discovery to attorneys on March 8 and moved the newfound bitcoins to offline storage.
..........

Hackers accused the exchange of secretly keeping some of the coins allegedly stolen in the fraudulent withdrawals and posted data allegedly lifted from Mt. Gox servers they said backed up their claims. The data purportedly showed that 951,116 bitcoins had been deposited with the exchange, more than 100,000 more than Mt. Gox claimed to have lost.

Careful mentioning Wiki around here. I started a thread wishing him well on his one month anniversary of going incognito and some asshat RA'd it and it was deleted by an overzealous admin who even deleted my help board thread asking why.

I'd bet the Mt GOX customers wish MtGOX had overzealous administrators. Might have saved them a few hundred million dollars.

Was Wiki banned by Chicken or self-banned?

Everyone thinks he got owned by LSURussian and took his ball and went home. That, or he went to Japan looking for satisfaction from MtGOX and has just been too embarrassed by the loss o show up here and take the hits of "I told you so" over and over.

His bubble of Bitcoin unfallability has been shattered beyond repair here.

Not really except for the people that played in that game(Wiki for one) as there was no manner of regulation in place at all to the money grab when it came. Chasing after so many lines of zeros and ones is a monumental task to wade through.
