 I found it pretty funny that over at reddit someone tipped him some small amount of btc, then people told the tipper that he might want to check out who whe is giving btc to.  Karpeles replied by going "I can send you the tip back if you want". It was sad and funny.

All while he's sitting on the "stolen" bitcoins that went up in smoke after the MtGox fiasco.

Guy couldn't be more delusional.




I don't know why people call the MTGOX crash a 'fiasco' clusterfuck seems much more appropriate.

600K BTC is not enough for him, he's out for more. Remind me of a saying : The more you have, the more you want.

Don't think his plan will get much succes, people aren't that stupid to lose a lot BTC for a second time. Or are they?

Did he not go to jail in US?
Did he go to jail?
No. He has not been charged criminally. Although he has been subpenaed by the US court system, but will not appear out of fear that he will get arrested/charged if he does


if he does not?
if he have to travel to the usa, whether he would be the same as Shiram?

Legendary advice  from Mark Karpeles

The cryptocurrency could also benefit from a kind of central bank established by merchants accepting Bitcoin, he said, that would act as a clearing house for transactions and implement secure storage of coins. Karpeles is also trying to draft a best practices document for Bitcoin security that he said he would share with anyone willing to consider his ideas.

The cost to view the document one case of people running away with coins and the private keys ^^

Oh boy. I can't wait for the flood of posts where people complain that they've lost money thanks to the endeavors of this dude.
Well it should be in the tens of thousands to be conservative. Gox ended up loosing over 200,000 bitcoin

I still don't understand why people left their money with this prick in the first place though I would argue it's partly the mainstream news outlets that are to blame for pointing towards MTGOX as the 'largest' volume exchange all the time.

You can expect this 'central bank' of his to come under a sustained revenge attack the moment it's opened for all the money lost on MTGOX, no wonder he was looking so smug on television, he's clearly made a deal with the Japanese government.

We don't need a central bank, we need a small transactions clearing system. If we have a cencentralised bank, we go back to a fractional reserve fiat system.

Where was it that banned bitcoin but wanted govt crypto? Ecuador? Send him there.
Ecuador does not want a government crypto currency, they want a digital currency. They also have not banned bitcoin
