It seems it is too early to state with any certainty that MtGox are also a victim here.

The allegation that an address that MtGox's controls still holds all the Bitcoins but that they've lost the key is fascinating.

If true, how can MtGox prove it lost the key? If he walks away, he can wait 10 years and then transfer the funds out and spend them.

But if false, can we demand he produce the key?

What if someone else entirely different has the key?

It's all fascinating.

Another POV from Greg Maxwell (a Bitcoin core developer):

Claims that MTGox has a lot of coin so far look completely spurious to me.

In Falkvinge's case, it may be wishful thinking. He has also posted that he had 160 BTC and 1500 euros on Mt.Gox

These are very interesting reads if only for the facts they lay out in detail.
