I was trying to get a copy of my transaction history at the time, after someone mentioned it might be handy in a class action suit

First the server started responding "this page does not exist" then just blank response

“Mt. Gox has confirmed it will file bankruptcy in private discussions with other members of the bitcoin community.”

How much of a drop do you think we will see in the BTC to USD exchanges?

I imagine something like the Silk Road closure - immediate short term panic drops, with a rebound because really the remaining money Gox had was already for the most part lost, and has been lost for a month or longer. I'd argue the markets already endured that loss over this last retrace to $500 with all the nonsense coming from Gox in the first place.

bitcoin drops because many had their coins at some central location....
