500k Bitcoins traded in 1h, Mt.Gox market hacked +...
How do you "reverse" transactions that live in a peer-to-peer network? Or are you saying that MtGox has some kind of buffer of transactions that haven't been "executed" onto the network yet?

MTGox runs its own private system. They display the value of BitCoins you can withdraw, but they're not really BitCoins until you withdraw them.

As far as I know bitcoin transfers are issues without any delay, so it would indeed be impossible to reverse the transactions.
