One of the biggest Bitcoin exchanges has filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy protection in the United States, which is for insolvent companies operating internationally. On Feb. 28, Mt.

Gox has put at least a temporary hold against a lawsuit filed in a Chicago federal court seeking class-action status.
