Mt. Gox Website Updated, Allows Users to Check Balances

Embattled exchange Mt. Gox has a simple sign-in option on its website now with an invitation to “see your wallet(s) balance.”

From the site:

“Important announcement to all users confirming their account This balance confirmation service is provided on this site only for the convenience of all users. Please be aware that confirming the balance on this site does not constitute a filing of rehabilitation claims under the civil rehabilitation procedure and note that the balance amounts shown on this site should also not be considered an acknowledgment by MtGox Co., Ltd. of the amount of any rehabilitation claims of users. Rehabilitation claims under a civil rehabilitation procedure become confirmed from a filing which is followed by an investigation procedure. The method for filing claims will be published on this site as soon as we will be in situation to announce it.”

Still too little information

Beyond what is written on the website, however, we don’t know much else. Users, who collectively lost 750,000 BTC through some sort of error on Mt. Gox, are not able to learn how they can file claims to actually get back their money.

Mt. Gox’s site went blank in February, and until now the only updates have been legal notices about bankruptcy-protection filings in Japan and the US.

We will stay on top of any Mt. Gox stories and publish news as soon as we have it. In the meantime, you can follow us on Twitter and Facebook for updates.
