There appears to be nothing drawing attention to the fact Mt Gox was originally a US football trading card platform which had little of the expected security features seen or required of many financial exchanges, so Mt Gox was a hack waiting to happen. As to whether the Russian was fitted up by others to serve an agenda remains to be seen.
