Thanks to Mt. Gox's attempt to blame BitCoin developers for a problem with their custom wallet, the entire mainstream media is reporting their private fiasco as a fundamental flaw in the BitCoin protocol.
Mt. Gox could have come through this injured but with their integrity in tact by taking responsibility. Instead they now they have managed to damage BitCoin itself by attempting to deflect blame.
They don't even have a continuous integration setup going and do all of their work on production? When you're dealing with (literally) billions of dollars of other people's wealth that is just inexcusable and irresponsible.
