Tweaking? What the hell does that mean? Is that a polite way of saying whoops I fucked up? I hope the missing coins get found on him somehow and those who lost a lot of money get it back.

The majority were probably spent long ago or never existed in the first place. I would be surprised if he didn't have a large, hidden stash somewhere, mind you.

Glad to see allegations underway finally...

We'll see if they find more than $8.9m.

Either way, does Mark have any assets to be seized anyway?

Tweaking in the sense of "I have total control, can manipulate balances and you'll probably never find out".

Funny thing is, these things always have a way of being found out sooner or later.....

Because of his actions, the Mt. Gox Bitcoin exchange became the victim of artificially created Bitcoin balances worth up to US$1m. Mark Karpeles had always denied any allegations made against him regarding the Mt. Gox matter, yet admitted to tweaking the system and user balances for a large amount of money as part of a “test”.
