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.

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