In a rare public statement, the CEO of the embattled Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox said that the company has found an “old format wallet” containing approximately 200,000 bitcoins.
The exchange went dark in February, shortly after it blocked Bitcoin withdrawals, claiming there was a bug in the software that underpins the virtual currency, making it vulnerable to thieves.
It filed for bankruptcy protection soon thereafter, admitting it had lost 850,000 coins which were worth nearly $500 million at the time. It made a similar filing in the United States in early March.
