Despite Mt. Gox fiasco, Karpeles still has Bitcoin plans
Mark Karpeles’ t-shirt couldn’t be more ironic.
“I don’t always test my code,” it reads, “but when I do, I do it in production.”
The former head of Mt. Gox, once the world’s biggest Bitcoin exchange, saw his company collapse because its code was exploited by hackers.
A source close to the firm said in March that Mt. Gox’s code was “a spaghetti mess,” possibly containing vulnerabilities that allowed hackers to pilfer millions of dollars worth of the digital currency. Japanese police are probing that possibility.
