Quote
October 28, 2015, Former Mt Gox CEO Mark Karpeles was re-arrested for suspicious activity involved with moving embezzled funds to his personal accounts. Japanese media reports again the new arrest of the infamous “Magical Tux” as the “CEO of Bitcoin” and supposedly he had quite the run with Prostitutes during his last release time.

So, Mark Karpeles was out on bail and opted to transfer some bitcoins to his bank account that, BTW, wasn't locked, and used some of the money to get his pee-pee wet.  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Yup. I remember researching coin buying options when I first became interested in the idea in 2013. Gox was the still the daddy. With five minutes of googling I learnt that I couldn't withdraw USD, it had been hacked, it regularly went batty, the CEO was a weirdo who I'd cross the street to avoid and it was halfway around the planet. Er, fuck that shit.

Anyone who left coins on Gox after the June 2011 fiasco deserved to get their coins stolen.

Anyone with more than two brain cells not fighting each other for survival knew what was going to happen.

especially one centralised to that degree is completely the fault of users.  



even in 2015, the majority of noobs ... store bitcoin on virtual wallet (or crappy phone with game malware pollution).

that doesn't surprise me at all. Bitcoin was designed to be trustless. Unfortunately, trading it on a centralised exchange, especially one centralised to that degree is completely the fault of users.

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.
I have only seen this guy once before and it was in the bitcoin movie that came out a few years ago.
I use the internet for more than Instagram/twitter and have heard of the mt gox headline a few times but never saw the guy until that movie and now from this thread.

I'm sure his wealthy wife will be thrilled to hear about this, and he might have trouble getting her to share the stash of BTC he probably gave to her.

Was he married? Never heard of him having a wife...

Kids too (if my memory is correct)
Yes, she/they left for "safety reasons" when Gox was starting to stink really bad, so I believe he trusted her with a large number of BTC.

The journalist who came with "Bitcoin CEO" deserves his head chopped off. I would gladly do it.

Titles like this make me sick too. They think it would sound better but they never think how ridiculous is it really.

If titles like this make their way even to these forums, no wonder that the media is misreporting this stuff..

Happened a lot when he got arrested as well, the media was all over this "bitcoin CEO"

I want to see a 'photograph' of him in prison. Words of his suffering are encouraging, but someone somewhere out there has to have the pull to get a snapshot of him.  No photoshops please though even these would be heart warming.

Like they say, a picture says more than 880.000 coins!

Oh wait no that's not the saying...

I think the majority of the population that doesn't know much of bitcoin puts it in the same category as the bad stuff they hear about it in the news. Mt.gox comes to mind right away as the worst.
