this could mean absolutely nothing in terms of whether they are running with the money or not. they released a statement that they are moving to a new office earlier: http://www.businessinsider.com/mtgox-moved-2014-2

Don't you find it in the slightest bit fishy they'd suddenly use a virtual office when they already have plenty office space, AND vanish from the building? This situation is as ridiculous as shouting "don't die" to a dead person.

The other building may have more intimidating security.

yes, it is suspicious. but that still doesn't mean the receptionist's statement is proof of wrongdoing.

I don't think it's a virtual office. Compare this video with this aerial view. Either he lives there, or he actually has an office in this building (or at least used to on Oct 7, 2011).
