Scam.  I think they want your Mt. Gox username and password and will then empty your account.

If it sounds too good to be true.....

I just checked out the website. Seems legit, their claim is they bought a whole bunch of BTC when it was 4-5 USD back in June.   Dam I wish I had invested more.  But back to the point website looks alright, although it does not show any credentials like MtGox does, I guess we will wait and see.

Are you fucking stupid? This is already a confirmed scam. "Looks legit" yeah, you're a sucker. I guess people really are stupid enough to fall for scams that dumb.

Not sure if trolling, or...?  ??? Despite constant spamming of these forums, and private messaging members, both of which are things that no reputable company would ever do, their "About Us" page refers to them twice as "Mt.GAX". They call their scam "Mt.Gix". Apart from the fact that this should be a major red flag, anyone not doing their due diligence when sending money to anonymous entities over the internet deserves to lose it. A 2 second Google of "Mt.Gix" will throw up numerous results decrying it as a scam.
Please tell me you were just trolling? Please. I'm beginning to lose all faith in humanity here...
