As a proof of concept he could have withdrawn 0.01 BitCoin, no need to max out on MtGox limits.

He writes he was aware that probably the hack is causing this and decided to take advantage of it.

He should give the BitCoin back to MtGox, who would then proceed to roll back the transactions. Simple as that.



>no need to max out on MtGox limits.

He didn't. He could have withdrawn it all if he wanted.

>who would then proceed to roll back the transactions.

But that's the thing; as he said, regardless of his money, rolling back all the transactions sets a bad precedent. How can people trust Mt Gox now?


How can you fault a guy who does what traders try to do every single day? The fault is only with Mt Gox here and this isn't the first shady thing they've done (apparently even changing jurisdictions to avoid getting sued over previous abuses). Mt Gox are scum bags and deserve to be shut down at the very least.
