A lawyer representing Mt. Gox has announced that the bitcoin exchange is filing for bankruptcy protection, and that the company has outstanding debt of around $63.6 million.
Ever since a single Bitcoin became worth a small fortune, there have been people trying to steal them. Sure, there have some small-time thieves who’ve stolen a few hundred dollars worth of Bitcoin here and there. But there have also been heists. Massive, highly orchestrated attacks that lead to millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency changing hands. And they just keep happening.
In what could very well be a first in the city-state of Singapore, Tembusu Terminals Pte. has installed an automated tele-exchange machine that will be able to purchase Bitcoins. This happened not too long after a Tokyo exchange for the virtual currency was closed down amid concerns surrounding possible theft. This particular ATM was installed at The Spiffy Dapper, which is a bar that is located in the Boat Quay district, and Tembusu Terminals Pte. is also in conversation with other retailers who happen to accept the virtual currency in order to provide the adequate space to set up its ATMs on their respective premises. So far, the potential clients’ name list remains anonymous.
