Having travelled round the world a little and peered into some darker parts of society I would be amazed if he had not received some death threats. For me its a given.
Some people need proof of everything but in this well meh for me I am happy to trust my gut on it. Not much point worrying about it either its not like I'm going to be able to make a difference for him.
Topic: Here's my gox theory - page 2. (Read 2957 times)
you really believe that shit? those few protesters in front of mtgox old building's door force mark moved into a Virtual Office?
they have been kicked off site by police already, it's very easy to deal with kind people
in most case, Mark will not claim "some one is going to kill me / i receive death threats", he will say "security concerns / i receive threats", he will only tell in details to the police, if you do think he didn't receive any threats or those threats are not big deals, then it's up to you

Otherwise it would be pure speculation and should be marked as such.
no no no, he is hiding himself for security concerns, what do you think he is afraid of? get some punch in his face or get ass kicked hard? of course not, at least cut his hands/legs off once someone got him, this is millions of mafia mob/drug dealer dollar we are talking about
It's highly plausible that he is under some real-world pressure, maybe even to the level you suggest, but it would really be best not to state things as fact unless you know they are. Otherwise it just keeps getting repeated as fact.
We have all read the statement that merely mentions "security concerns". But for all we know (unless you have some evidence of something more), that could just be a reaction to being confronted in the street.
Mark Karpales did receive death threats for this insider trading thing
Do you have a link to a statement of his confirming this? I don't disbelieve you, I would just like to read that from the horse's mouth.well, i won't post a proof in public of what i did if i really did do that, right?

Gox is in trouble... Big trouble...
It's not about buying cheap coins... They've been a dead stick since the FBI stole all of their USD and closed their operating accounts...
There's only one thing that can pull them out of this mess; new investment capital. They can sell all or part of the business to inject new capital. I'm not sure how far below water they are; it might be cheaper to start over with a new exchange than to salvage Gox...

Karpeles is one of the most unsavory players in the Bitcoin market
He has obviously bitten off way more than he can chew.
If it's one thing that irks me, it's dishonesty.. what a coward!

Die Mark Karpeles, DIE!!!

Seriously I would be shocked if he didn't receive several death threats.
So would I, so what I'd be saying is:Quote
I imagine Karpeles has received a few death threats.
If I had seen a post from him saying that he had received credible death threats, that's when I'd be saying:
Quote
Mark Karpales did receive death threats.
So I'm really looking forward to seeing the post, so I can pass on the news without blowing things out of all proportion.
