I'd be willing to bet some of the companies headed by these noble sounding individuals would get a qualified opinion or going concern opinion from their auditors.

Of the ones that are active and on the market? I would say close to 60%, if not more.

There's way's to track all of that, but ain't nobody got time for that. I'm sure some basement dweller on reddit will figure it out.

Josh, at least read the thread since you bailed out on it. The joint statement from the future bankrupt btc companies is posted in full on the previous page of this thread.

And they have removed the word "insolvent" from their statement. Try to keep up....

Between the major exchanges, MTGox still has/had the most BTC volume of any site.

Do you just read /r/bitcoin and pretend like you know what's going on, or do you actually do any trading whatsoever?
