Topic: irc Chat with KARPELES(MtGox) from today 25th Feb - page 3. (Read 10675 times)
well the azerty one ...
i think he is mentally ill, psychotic.
After reading the supposed interview, it is still somewhat elusive replies from the questions asked and does not give concrete answers. From all excuses given, Karpeles not only has destroyed my confidence in Mt.Gox, but has also destroyed my confidence and raised a question if any website hosting private keys should be trusted by customers who put in their bitcoins or any other alt coin. I was trading with Mt.Gox because I have been having problems with banks - namely Barclays - as I had my account frozen when trading with localbitcoins.com from August 2013. Not a very good experience if you pay bills with one account I might add.
Although I am grieving at a loss of several bitcoins as a small investment and tried to help my partner to get into bitcoins by making a small investment into MtGox. I feel we have lost out on those bitcoins that ended up in MtGox for trading purposes as banking in UK hates bitcoin trading like the plague. However, I do trust in how the bitcoin protocol works and read the transaction malleability issue. Despite criticisms that MtGox programming skill were amateurish, I will never again put my trust and coins for trading at an exchange or keep a large quantity of bitcoins in hot wallets, no matter what the Bitcoin Foundation say, Roger Ver, or other notable industry expert in Bitcoin say in this regard. It is how the saying goes as I am myself a Computer Science researcher, "no system is safe".
In the end, bitcoin is an unregulated technology where the individual is at risk of losing bitcoins and transactions are one way only with the impossibility of recovery if theft occurs.
With the advent of the Gox.com crisis re-branding document, in my view, no matter if they change an image brand, domain name or trading platform, Gox.com is still the same underneath; unregulated and risky if insolvency issues arise. I might be wrong if Karpeles manages to pull out some magic out of his hat and I recover most of my bitcoins I put into my account, but I feel that this issue has been dragging a long way with white lies and withdrawal issues which is reminiscent of fraud tactics in delaying the victim that they will soon get their money.
IMO we need less risky means (local buyers and sellers) of bitcoin exchanges that are located overseas or at least, attempt to have some regulation on exchanges to insure the holder from insolvency issues.
Some ideas to buy/sell without electronic exchanges within the UK.
- Installation of more bitcoin ATM's.
- Locals within a community in hosting bitcoin trading within events such as pubs, café's or market stalls if allowed.
If you have ideas to kickstart something in the UK, give me a shout.

The draft and this IRC log are FAKE!
..and BTW GOX has been under the control of US agencies for quite a while. Karpeles did a deal with them. His life for control of GOX.

I hope you all know he is talking about his own wallet (unavailable), not the one from the company.
Mark just verified that MtGOX lost 700k BTC.
This is a good point. It seems quite likely he is referring to his own wallet, not that for Mt. Gox.
On the other hand, the comment about the document was that it was legit, "more or less", which is quite vague. He used the same expression earlier when describing whether he was doing ok, when he really wasn't. The earlier comment in this thread that he is just trying to avoid answering questions seems fairly accurate.
Perhaps we'll get some clearer answers when the bankruptcy court gets to hear this case.

as for the picture of his cat that he posted, http://i.imgur.com/GqZr3N5.jpg
Did you guys know that his company Tibanne is named after his cat? Yes, his cat`s name is Tibanne.
And this guy was handling hundreds of millions of dollars of other people`s money.
Seriously, i think he is mentally ill, psychotic. His behaviour in all that is happening is complete non sense, just crazy. It is even hard to label him incompetent, criminal or a scammer, he just seems insane.
I think you're right. At least he seems to be in denial. If that chat log is real, that is. He seems oblivious to all the pain and suffering he's causing with his gross incompetence and his pathological lying.
I mean: His # 1 worry at the moment is the fact that he's gained a lot of weight recently? That's the message he wanted to convey to the world? He has time to chat merrily about his cat and his own weight problems, while completely ignoring all the angry customers whose lives he has destroyed, many of whom are probably sending him death threats right now? He seems like some kind of autist, at the very least.
Medicated?
What a bunch of bullcrap. The guy doing the interview is trying so hard to pat him on the back: "poor Mark, we know how much you've done."
Poor Mark is avoiding questions as much as he can with "can't disclose, more or less, I'm fat, my cat is messing with keyboard" - nobody cares!
And finishes with "maybe I should go to sleep now" - yes sleep well sweet prince, don't forget about a late night snack.
Like an interview with a teenage emo! Man up, you're dealing with serious money here, money people kill for.

Yep. Lets all feel bad for the criminal.
Mark is under stress lol, he robbed millions of dollars and got caught, what did he think that would happen?
My crazy theory: JP Morgan buys MtGox for $1 and promises to pay all MtGox-clients with real money?
Im kind of blown away at the disinterest and unprofessionalism.
Then again, showing up casually with a starbucks on the biggest disaster day of your multi million dollar company kind of blew me away too.
I pictured him casually standing in line at Starbucks while hundreds of millions of dollars was floundering under him. Strange.
The conversation reads very, very strange.

Exactly
If you have a thing for visiting Mtgox in Japan this is who you should look for
Lost your life savings? Lost everything??? visit the Office in japan Mtgox. this is who you should look for Founder/Ceo of MtGox
yeah the guy responsible for mtgox and shutting down the website and permanently shutting down your account. "Means" you can't get it back unless government steps in and requires Mtgox to Reopen the website to return the money to everyone which i highly doubt the government will do. lol

I like your post, really! It's so lyrical (not in a sarcastic way), but ppl lost their money on GOX and they just continue buying?
I would try to recover my money first and wait for some really positiv siginals. Maybe that's just me :/ arrrgh

Some of those burned at Gox will walk away and never return. But consider, they were never actually part of Bitcoin anyway. They were trading imaginary bitcoins created by fraud.
The good news is new participants will not continue being drawn into the scam by the brand recognition MtGox commanded. It will take some days for the dust to settle but this will be a net positive.
i think that's a bit harsh, can you imagine the stress this guy is under?
Looking at the way he's handling this thing, it doesn't sound like he's under any stress at all. He isn't communicating anything except he's not giving up, and he's fat.
honestly, i don't think he is just that stupid to think he could do one. There is just way too much money involved and some ppl would hunt him for the rest of his life. He would need to literally dig himself a 5 story underground apartment in the middle of the amazonian rainforest. shit, i heard you can get a person wiped out clean for $10000. he ain't going nowhere.
I'm sorry I can't feel any sorrow or pity for this crook at all. Doesn't seem the least bit remorseful at all.
He dug his grave a long time ago, he better lawyer up good, because the shit's going to hit his fan hard.

what do you want from this guy that he go around replying to threats?, no he still a least has a semblance of a plan, when the world bears down on him.
