Mt. Gox (2014) – $460 Million in Bitcoin Vanished

Once handling over 70% of global Bitcoin trades, Japan-based Mt. Gox collapsed after losing 850,000 BTC, worth about $460 million at the time. Poor infrastructure, untracked bugs, and lack of version control exposed the platform to exploitation. Years later, a civil rehabilitation plan is still underway.

➡️ Lesson: Never store long-term funds on exchanges, and audit backend infrastructure continuously.
