Mt. Gox Class Action
In early February 2014, the Bitcoin exchange known as Mt. Gox halted all withdrawals of money and bitcoin from its exchange. Reports circulated that a supposed "computer bug" that had afflicted its servers may have in fact been a several-year long
security breach. The exchange was subsequently shut down and Mt. Gox users have lost millions of dollars worth of cash and bitcoin.
Charney Lawyers has commenced a lawsuit against Mt. Gox Inc. and its related entities on behalf of all Canadian users who had money and bitcoin in the Mt. Gox exchange at the time that it shut down. We are working with Edelson PC who have filed a similar suit in the US on behalf of all Americans.
