Remember when CoinLab was suing Mt Gox for U$75M?

Here's the original contract:

http://ia601700.us.archive.org/8/items/gov.uscourts.wawd.192566/gov.uscourts.wawd.192566.1.1.pdf

Two months prior was the creation of The Bitcoin Foundation consisting of both Peter and Mark, among others, it, too, having the same office address as highlighted above.

Speaking of strange bedfellows, is one the following Mark's cat?

Mark Karpeles also still owns gox.com purchased the day Mt Gox went dark:

Looks like he's probably going to cash in on that, or a possible restart? I doubt it's the latter. Seems like an attempt from greed.

[14:13] I'm surprised you actually answer me for once. I did not expect that. I'm just wondering if you have a timeframe for when the "temporary unavailable" bitcoins will be available?
[14:15] I never thought it would come to this but here we are
[14:15] I'm gonna give a public statement later
[14:16] I give you my word
[14:17] For you see there is a lot of things we have to deal with now
[14:17] It's up to the US govt when we can access the cold storage
[14:17] We never got it back after they confiscated it last summer
[14:18] I'm gonna be frank here
[14:18] They let us keep running the exchange but they did freeze all our assets in relation to the SR to investigation
[14:19] So you see it is really not our fault
[14:19] So down to the deep truth
[14:13] truth?
[14:19] It never accrued to us that we would have to access the cold storage
[14:20] I'm gonna have
[14:20] to run out shortly
[14:21] hang around for a while so
[14:21] you and I can talk some more
[14:21] after desert
[14:21] Now you should read the second word of everything I wrote

This made me laugh - also, they let the exchange run while they froze their assets, And they had access to the cold wallet , Was this legitimate or just bulldust?

So, who one the auction?

Seems like it was stopped: https://www.coindesk.com/auction-bitcoins-com-domain-halted-us-court/

I completly forgot about karpeles auctioning off the domain, I quick whois lookup shows that it still belongs to him and his company. https://www.whois.com/whois/bitcoins.com So I very much doubt it was auctioned

Quote

Speaking at the Inside Bitcoins event in New York, Roger Townsend said, “I assume he would be arrested or a person of interest” and that the FBI would likely want to question Karpeles both about allegations of fraud at MtGox as well as potential connections with Silk Road.

He even speculated that the FBI is preparing a grand jury indictment against him and drew parallels to Charlie Shrem, who was also arrested and whom he referred to as Karpeles’ friend.

So, the FBI could go to Greece and arrest the BTC-e dude on holiday from Russia, but can't go to Japan and get Mark Karpeles, eh?

Seems like he's staying in Japan for a reason. Back in 2015 he's pleaded not guilty for the events based off MtGox. I don't know how, but that's that. Possible FBI involvement too? He's been tied with links to silk road as well as the fracas with MtGox, upsetting to see where priorities lie.

Even though we might think it as an expensive offer, I think anything is possible. Since the domain BitcoinWallet.com fetched $250,000 back then a few years ago, at this stage I don't think such domain in .com extension deserves anything less than that figure. Considering the future possibilities of the growth of Bitcoin, any investor (probably Bitcoin early adopter) might give it a try after few rounds of negotiations in my opinion.

Read the last 3 posts and stop shit spamming for your signature.

Look, you moronic cocksucker, I'M NOT SHIT SPAMMING MY SIGNATURE. If I were, I would say that I was/am, BUT I'M FUCKIN NOT. My posting happens have remained the same regardless of what's in my sig, YOU FUCKIN ASSHOLE !!! Apologies if I didn't come across as rude your fuckin ass deserves.

BTW, in case you forgot, revisit this thread - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3737910 - where you caused folks to loose money, you fuckin asshole.

P.S - Sorry, something went wrong on my side and I misunderstood that the domain is again offered for sale in the auction. Somehow I missed the date and few previous posts regarding it. Huh

I hope we will be able to pay in hamburgers and pizza and perhaps chicken wings with a milkshake.

I really hope he use the money for compensating people, so many people lost so much money.

Don't forget a frappuccino! Cheesy

I think he's being watched carefully. If he sold the domain and embezzled the money again, he'd go back to jail.
If he really wanted to escape he had a chance right after the bankruptcy, when he was still free and had money in his pocket. Instead he stayed in Japan, bought a new apartment and attended court meetings.

What about the remaining gox coins and BCC that was added on top of it?

Bad debt i guess, he has got no shit to offer again and we are all waiting for the proceedings of the court and what the outcome of this case may gut be. I feel pity for him though.

The US Court Halted that. http://www.coindesk.com/auction-bitcoins-com-domain-halted-us-court/

Good. I'd say that's the best course of action right now. I'd place more faith in the court's ability to arrive at a sensible decision than Karpeles. He wanted the chapter 15 bankruptcy protection and he can suffer the consequences of that choice, especially if that means not trying to sell bits off on the side to make a quick buck.

Agreed. When I first heard of this I hoped he would repay some of the money if he did get a good price. I think his advisors knew and would have told him this would happen. This was probably just an image rehab move.

Honestly if he does pay us back then I would be impressed and my perspective of him would change.

Mine would change too. I would go from thinking he's a conman to thinking he's insane. There is absolutely no upside for him to do that at this point.

No of course he wouldn't pay anyone back if the domain sold. If he was selling the domain name to pay people back he would have done it through the court and not just posted about it on Twitter!
