The company says, however, that the amounts shown on the site do not "constitute a filing of rehabilitation claims." March 18, 2014 5:38 AM PDT (Credit: Bitcoin) Mt. Gox, the embattled Japan-based Bitcoin exchange, has updated its Web site to allow its users to see account balances. The company opened user accounts for inquiry on Tuesday, but cautioned that the amount of Bitcoins they seemingly have would not "constitute a filing of rehabilitation claims." The wording is in place to protect Mt. Gox in its ongoing bankruptcy procedures and to ensure its users don't misconstrue the balance as the actual amount they may or may not be owed. The balances are based on data collected before Mt. Gox actually shut down. Mt. Gox has been a lightning rod of controversy in the Bitcoin space after it was hacked and had withdrawals surreptitiously taken from user accounts. After admitting to the intrusion, Mt. Gox was forced to file bankruptcy. How it will emerge from bankruptcy is currently in doubt.
