This is truly disgusting.
....

An unprotected person like him would be dead by now, so I am seriously claiming to believe he works for a Gov't agency.

I doubt that many people are willing to give up their freedom for potentially the rest of their life just because he may have stolen their money.

I am surprised that he is able to spend this kind of money without attracting attention from the police when so much has gone missing from his business

now that we know where the pig is, we could go to carry him our greetings... I lost a lot of money due to him and I would like to meet him. in person. I lost my j9b and invested every thing in bitcoin hoping to make some money... now I lost almost all due to this fucking pig... I want to kill him slowly and painfully, like in a oven, the good place where fat pigs should be.

I wouldn't be surprised if he starts making lavish posts like this one on Bitcoin Megaphone:

Wonder how many people got screwed over this.

Not quite sure myself but there is a suit going so it probably measures in a few thousand users at least.
With significant balances.

There is no way he should be able to afford such a lavish lifestyle when he lost so much of other people's money. It isn't like he used his expertise to try to protect it. At the very least his incompetence caused his customers to lose their bitcoin, assuming that he did not steal it.

I was wondering how he could (legally) afford hotels and a bodyguard, so to see him in such an expensive place is outrageous.
Mark works for the USA Feds == One possible twist in the story.

simple... sell a few of the hundreds of thousands of bitcoins you have.

Lost about 70BTC at Gox. It stung real bad at first but the pain is easing over time. I will say this though, since i lost that (about 90% of my holdings at the time) it pushed me away from the BTC scene. I was an early adopter but wasnt really big into it to begin with TBH, once the value increased so did my interest. Then that **** went down and I lost a lot of interest (out of bitterness, I think).

I hope Mark burns in hell for what he did. I lost my down payment on my house. Sad

Sorry to hear that man. Losing a couple of hundreds or even a couple of thousands, i could deal with that, but man losing my down payment for my house is like Woah..., taking it to the next lvl.

Man I seriously hope he gives you back your coins as well for the others who were affected as well.

Sad to hear this. But not everything is lost. You will get somewhere around 20% to 25% of the holdings refunded back to you, once the bankruptcy proceedings are completed. BTC14 to BTC18 is no way a small amount. But you should regularly keep in touch with the authorities, to make sure that the coins are properly refunded back to you.

$1 trillion Bitcoin capitalization = $50K Bitcoin.

That would make Karpeles #13 most wealthiest ($35 billion) in the world but in liquidity he would be wealthier than Carlos Slim, Bill Gates, et al. Have to realize the wealthiest people on that list are only asset rich. Remember that someone like Donald Trump almost declared personal bankruptcy several times as he didn't have any liquidity (despite billions in assets).

Bitcoin, being quasi-money, would be far more liquid and Karpeles would be immensely indescribably rich.

Scary thought, but if btc significantly increases in value, that corrupt fat pig could end up literally being one of the richest people in the world.

Imagine if it hits 100000 BTC/USD, then it will be like, "Hi Bill, awesome this is cool, I am around the same rank as you now

"

I don't understand how we have bounty hunters who track down people over a few thousand. . yet Mark Karpeles, who supposedly has $300+ million worth in private keys, doesn't seem to be bothered by anyone. .

especially when Karpeles' location is known, he hangs out at Starbucks and he's in Japan (fat white guys stick out).

You would think every Yakuza, Korea and Russian gangster in Japan would be making a beeline for Karpeles and trying to get money out of him. Heck the North Koreans have kidnapped people from mainland Japan on the boat - they could buy themselves some new toys (Tesla automobiles for the elites) if they shove Karpeles on a boat to Pyongang.

Very possible he paid off certain aggressors
