The woman that died was CEO of First Meta, which was involved in the Second Life online cjurrency. They recently started doing Bitcoin exchanges. They are not associated with MtGox at all.

That is so freaking spurious! No such thing happened. You're confusing Mt Gox with another company named FirstMeta. The MSM recently tried to link the MtGox debacle to the recent death of Autumn Rathke, the CEO of FirstMeta. FirstMeta is a completely different company! The linkage proffered in the news is founded in that FirstMeta at one time accepted bitcoin along with other currencies in exchange for digital goods...The original business of MtGox was very similar to FirstMeta.

It only took 30 seconds to figure this out...

False

Mt Gox IS busted. It is not related to the suicide yesterday

That's not true. The CEO of Mt Gox is Mark Karpeles who is very much still alive.

Autumn Radtke, the CEO of a company called First Meta, was found dead and suicide is suspected but not official yet. I searched their site and they have no Bitcoin trading that I can see. Only trading in game-related currency like "Lindens" (secondlife).

It would be like if somebody who sold credits for "Candy Crush" died and people tied it to Bitcoin.

Nope, the suicide was not a Mt. Gox employee, but was involved another BTC exchange in Singapore. It’s not clear what prompted the suicide.

Likewise, Satoshi Nakamoto was not involved with Mt. Gox, a Japanese company. Its CEO was Mark Karpeles.

Meanwhile BTC continues to trade at around $650, roughly where it’s been for a month.

Like most things discussed about Bitcoin on this throw back website your statement is factually incorrect.
