No surprise because MtGox people involved here. So that's where they spend the money they scammed.

So they still have not found the "lost" bitcoins?
Bitcoins can be traced, but finding out who own them now, and now to get it back is different story. If they remains unused we could never be able to recover anything.
But now I think that authorities simply don't know how or don't want to solve this case.

He could've given to charity, but no. He gave 'em to sluts.

Good on ya mate, you set a great example towards the bitcoin community.

It was the only last thing that misses to Karpeles. Now its bucket is full with feats. Remain only to count those and to convert (in the right proportion) in jail years. And then even double those. Having in mind all the people who lost their wealth because of him this is the minimum to be made.

shame on you mark, you did so much bad things to bitcoin community as a whole
i dont wish him beign in prison, but he deserves it


I just wanted to say the same thing. It's impossible to wish somebody to go to jail especially if the person has done no physical harm to anybody, but Mark gets on my nerves by what he is doing a lot.

This is the example of the misuse of the anonymity of Bitcoin.
We can't hold them to do this, but we can make it better by not doing the same thing.

Is there any accurate dollar amount that he used for sex? He stole millions but I doubt he spent more than tens of thousands on hookers.

I have not found any figures on how much he allegedly spent on prostitutes, but the four-poster bed he allegedly bought with embezzled money cost $48000. Considering he "lost" 600k Bitcoins he could afford the classiest high class prostitutes in the world. If he paid for private jets to get them to Japan from the four corners of the world then the figure could be way more than the mere $48000 his bed cost. Alternatively he might have paid the going rate at the nearest massage parlor, in which case your no more than tens of thousands figure is more feasible.

The amount involved is huge. I do not think this is the only "thing" that he bought.

CEO stands for "Corrupt Executive Officer"...

I wonder actually how many japanese people would have heard of Bitcoin and if they have heard it, if they know who the CEO of Bitcoin is. I think that unfortunately TV is still very important in nowadays news, so if the average guy gets his news from TV because all he does on the internet is instagram, he may actually believe Karpeles was the CEO of BTC and he is now in jail.

It's not a problem in my view that there are many ignorant or "average guys" out there. Let whoever is not willing to do their own research believe in what they believe. It will only be of advantage to us. Bitcoin mass adoption will take a few more years anyway. While we should inform anyone who is asking and share our knowledge (like we often do on bitcointalk) there is no mission we should go on to educate the masses about alternative financial instruments. Let's make some money for the time being. Hodl, invest, learn, trade, start projects, mine, code, communicate, form communities but don't do BTC's marketing. (Let the magical Bitcoin CEO do it for you! j/k)

They charged him with embezzling funds which he used to buy a four poster bed. It would be ironic if he used it for sleeping with the prostitutes paid for with more embezzled funds, and the prosecutors proved it in court. I wonder if he purchased blow off the Silk Road with yet more embezzled funds, and if we will find him being charged with it in a few more weeks.
