If you want to know what is Karpeles doing I suggest to follow his Twitter: https://twitter.com/magicaltux
After reading some tweets I gotta say he is doing great.

I'm surprised he has twitter & puts stuff about his life on there etc. A lot of people lost a lot of BTC on MtGox so there will be a lot of anger & ill feeling towards him. I would have thought it'd be better for him to keep a low profile for his own safety, it'd also show those burnt by MtGox a bit of respect.

I wasn't hurt by MtGox but I can imagine those who were being really pissed off seeing him joking about & enjoying life on twitter.

What is he up to? Any new ventures?

I hope it's not related to bitcoin

Ad maiora!

I spent a few minutes scrolling through his Twitter. Not much going on there. It reads like an unemployed guy trying to keep up appearances.
He's got to act innocent I suppose. Can't do it forever.

How is he ever going to be able to spend any of the BTC's that he 'allegedly' stole during 'MtGox-gate'. Presumably the addresses where all the 'stolen/lost' BTC's reside are being watched constantly. Nobody is going to be able to move or spend them without being investigated. It makes you wonder what the idea was all along. Surely he should have just continued running his presumably very profitable exchange?

He's living in my garden shed building Gundam models. He's non verbal these days but very affectionate. Maybe too affectionate sometimes.

Friggin hilarious! I heard he got a job at Bandai Co. guarding their lobby with a samurai sword.

He's counting all ~~his~~ our bitcoins of course!

No no. Once you gave him the private keys they no longer belonged to you.

My private keys are still private. Wink

BTW, I transferred USD to MtGox and bought BTC. Unfortunately there seem to be no official investigations. Looks like the officials ignore bitcoin related crime.

Ross Ulbricht? Though there are some other issues involved not only bitcoin.

Seems to be free and doing just fine.

He still claims he is completely innocent and that he will be able to clear his name at some point, but I highly doubt that.

Keeper of the Private Key

Somebody able to explain, why Ross Ulbricht brags in journal about him losing 2 Mio USD with MtGox and at about the same time Marc Karpeles Dwolla account gets seized by the feds with about 2 Mio worth of Bitcoins in it?
