That's like saying "The government stole my car from the valet who was driving it without a license". Mt.Gox knew they needed a license, that's been made extremely clear. The only reason they are still operating at all is because Japanese authorities are asleep at the wheel.

If it's like you say, then people are supposed to go to the government to recover their funds. Unfortunately, govt won't give them a cent. It's like you live on a street where mafia requires valets to "buy" a license. You happen to give your car to a valet who forgot to "buy" a license from mafia. Then mafia seizes your car from the valet and you get upset. Why blame the valet if it's better to not have a mafia in the first place?

Oh, I forget. Mafia dictates what's good for your health and educates your children because it gives you a great service: protection against other mafias. And the price for that service is not fixed. You have to give up half of your income.
