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.
Topic: irc Chat with KARPELES(MtGox) from today 25th Feb - page 4. (Read 10746 times)
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 agree. He doesn't even answer any questions with anything pertinent or meaningful at all.
It's as if all of this really isn't a big deal to him, and the only things on his mind are his weight gain and that he feels a little sleepy. Is the guy just a sociopathic narcissist? He's completely oblivious to what's going on around him.
i think that's a bit harsh, can you imagine the stress this guy is under? Dont get me wrong, I think he's a piece of $hit for letting the company 'lose' 700K BTC but he would have thousands of people hounding him about millions of dollars being lost. I would be delirious and delusional too with the pressure and expectations on me if i were him. He's probably got death threats coming at him left right and centre. I'm pissed and i've only got $300 at stake, imagine people with $30,000 or $3,000,000!
I kinda feel for him a little and hope he gets his shit together to bring gox out of this mess.

He is feeling very calma, safe and like he did nothing wrong, weird.

wow this is getting so interesting....i'm guessing he's trying to broker a buy-out deal for Gox and failing that, then bankruptcy would be on the cards.
cmon investors...buy Mt Gox and bring it back to life!

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

Are everybody just gone INSANE??
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. Why is price shooting up?
Don't friggen tell me that's actually a good news

It is good news. 700k imaginary bitcoins have disappeared. Many many people have been trading with this imaginary coins, depressing the price. Now that the fraud is revealed, real supply and demand can take hold again.
Plus, an inept, and potentially criminal service has been removed from Bitcoin. From here we can move forward with more competent operators. And the lessons learned here will force people to be more diligent about the integrity of the services they use.

He acknowledges that the strategy document is legitimate. That means he has been operating MtGox with a deficit of bitcoins for years, and that deficit grew to 750000 BTC, worth nearly $1 Billion late last year. Of course he's under a little mental distress.
I'm sure it will get much worse after he meets his lawyer and learns he will likely spend significant time in a Japanese prison. The good news is he can finally lose some weight while he's there!

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.
Indeed. Cant imagine the number of threats he is currently getting.

put it this way, if karpeles had the funds, he would be preparing to have a meeting with a coder to fix the site to allow transactions..
but instead he is having a meeting with a lawyer. this means he is checking his legal standing on how to report his insolvancy. you dont need a lawyer to code the malleability fix!!!

This sounds EXACTLY like weexchange/bitfunder
He's messy.
Anybody know what keyboard that is? Looks interesting.
as for the picture of his cat that he posted, http://i.imgur.com/GqZr3N5.jpg
the badge on the table appearsto be from an office at the cerulean tower, which we suspected to be a virtual office. Is there any reason a virtual office would come with an access card? at least the office change might be legit...
