Well, yes, he's bad.
Losing or stealing half a billion dollars worth of customer assets makes you a bad guy.

A strange world in which we live in. Steal $100, and you go to jail. Steal hundreds of millions of $$$, and you are still free!

now this is the part i don't get. he took all the fiat from the customers but where did the fiat go? we could at least refund the people what they spent for the BTCitcoinz

And there is actually a Bitcoin Magazine in publication...
If you are not a part of this OP, please GTFO or change your name.

bitcoin magazine as in magazine of a gun.

and i'll shoot you with some bBTCitcoins if your not careful

and seriously. if this guy wants to live without working, like someone on disability, i'd have to guess Mark Karpeles is one of those golden umbrella keeper guys like Kenneth Lay? how gay is that

he has a family and kids like everyone else.

i don't want to portray Him as a bad guy.

I really don't see what the point of making this thread was...
Unless it's like someone said, that Mark K.'s law team has started some PR campaign trying to change public opinion...
But yes, he is bad. This can be remarkably changed around after he returns everyone's "stolen" "property." < LOL at property.

but he found like 900,000 BTC in the past month (i read the articles). so doesn't that make him a "good" guy, the likes of Dorian?

Hehe I found the coins I stole from you so I am not a bad guy

Where in the world did you come up with 900,000 number? Huh

All articles say mtgox "found" a wallet with 200,000 BTC. That's not even a quarter of what Mark Karpeles and his associates lost/stole from people that trusted (WHY???) them. And he tanked bitcoin in the process.

Look at the guy, does he look trustworthy to you? If you say "yes" then good luck with all the money you still have.

that was the first article, the second article was the 700,000 BTC. and he DOES look trustworthy. i'd trust anyone who drinks Starbucks(R) every day. at least he's not buying guns

Unless that just happened today and I don't know about it.... your 700,000 BTC figure is a straight lie. I will believe what you said if you post a link to the article (from a reputable source) mentioning the newly discovered 700,000 BTC you're referring to. That's funny how that is NOT on mtgox's home page, I would expect such news to be there.

a "thief" is someone who carries a gun and threatens people. Mark isn't like that. I know him personally. He is a good guy Grin

You do not lose 900k or even 100k BTC. It does not happen. He basically was trying to pretend hackers stole the coins right?

Tell that to the guy who threw away his hard drive.

It seems like he was a pretty irresponsible guy who might have thought "We should put some of this bitcoin in cold storage." Stuck it on a thumb drive and put it in some cabinet and forgot about it. I've done half-assed things like that. Remember that he might have done it when a bitcoin was only worth $2 so it didn't seem like as big of a deal as it does to us now.

Don't get me wrong, he may be a total thief that almost got away with it, but assuming that's the case doesn't help.

I really wonder whether Mark K and his defense team is using Bitcointalk and other BTC -related forums to launch a PR campaign on his behalf.

I think the general consensus is that he hasn't actually found these BTC because they were never lost, but has pretended that he found them. The theory being he was trying to steal them for himself but has come to realise that the coins would be traced after good hackers uncovered where some of them had been stashed so he had no option but to reveal their location.

You hit the mark straight on my friend..Mark jut backtracked his original scam because he thought no one would find out, upon realizing how much of a idiot he was/is, he decided to play it off as though he "found" it.

Clarification please

Did I mix up stories?

How, exactly, does the FBI have a shred of jurisdiction over a French guy with a company based in Japan?

What'd I miss here?
