But more than 600,000 Bitcoins were actually lost, so the ones who really gained are Mt.Gox, I don't think there was any hack, to tell the truth, rather a "self-hack"
Im not saying it is right. It just worked out for them that the value of each bitcoin went up, so they were able to replace everyones fiat...and maybe a little gain. Wouldnt the situation be worse if they werent able to give anything back?

The price of bitcoin in 2014 was between 400 and 800$ more or less, so the investment has multiplied x100 or so, they are returning 1/4 of the bitcoins, so in terms of fiat, everyone is winning.

but it isnt the full 100x.

Of course, if they're not with all the bitcoins back...
