Title: [2015-08-03]Mark Karpeles Admits to Tweaking Mt. Gox User Balances For Millions Post by: jdebunt on August 03, 2015, 09:17:15 AM http://bitcoinist.net/mark-karpeles-admits-tweaking-mt-gox-user-balances-millions-dollars/
Because of his actions, the Mt. Gox Bitcoin exchange became the victim of artificially created Bitcoin balances worth up to US$1m. Mark Karpeles had always denied any allegations made against him regarding the Mt. Gox matter, yet admitted to tweaking the system and user balances for a large amount of money as part of a “test”.

Is that a polite way of saying whoops I fucked up? I hope the missing coins get found on him somehow and those who lost a lot of money get it back.

Tweaking in the sense of "I have total control, can manipulate balances and you'll probably never find out". Funny thing is, these things always have a way of being found out sooner or later.....

We'll see if they find more than $8.9m. Either way, does Mark have any assets to be seized anyway? Title: Re: [2015-08-03]Mark Karpeles Admits to Tweaking Mt.

I would be surprised if he didn't have a large, hidden stash somewhere, mind you. |
