MtGox was the biggest Bitcoin exchange in the world when it imploded in 2014, taking almost half a billion dollars in customer funds with it. The collapse of MtGox, triggered by a perfect storm of crippling hacks and spectacular mismanagement, shocked the Bitcoin world to its core and left the fledgling cryptocurrency on the ropes. Worse, it started a battle for compensation by creditors that took over a decade to resolve, by which time the loss was calculated at over $50 billion.
