So, people deposited Bitcoin there? For what, did they act as escrow? And he talks about "profits" in the goodbye letter, was it really profits or stolen coins? Any blockchain evidence? I'm pretty curious.
Also, that "goodbye letter" just seems something written to mock people, they probably haven't got that much profit/stolen that much coins.

I hadn't read the "goodbye" letter, that's hilarious.
He somehow managed to be more honest than Karpeles, amazing.
I bet the one place he isn't going for sure is the Caribbean

Mark K looks and feels guilty but at least he didn't confess, yet.
Writing a 'goodbye' confession is more dangerous, since people are even more motivated to hunt him down.

Yeah, zero hedge is usually pretty cutting edge on most economic related matters but they sure are behind when it comes to bitcoin. In the political world, Rand Paul comes to mind on being behind simply because he's so busy doing all the campaigning and stuff. Regarding these thieves that get to run off with other peoples' money, they need to be dealt with and made an example out of.
