Let's help out the people at Mt. Gox Bitcoin exchange: they found 200k coins in an old-format wallet

Perhaps we can suggest other places where they can find the other remaining 550k missing bitcoins

But on March 7, Karpeles wrote, the exchange “confirmed that an old format wallet which was used prior to June 2011 held a balance of approximately 200,000 BTC.” That still doesn’t account for all of the amount that was unaccounted for, plus another 100,000 of Mt. Gox’s own bitcoin reserve. Total value at the time: $450 million. Based on current rates, it is worth about a quarter of that.

I'm guessing there is an old-format mattress somewhere at the office. Did they check under there??

This story gets weirder and weirder.
