Meet Mark's roomy (or is it roomie): https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Jordi+Boggiano%22&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS549US549&espv=210&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=MAYPU8SCMcTuyQGq4IG4Cg&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1093&bih=508

Josh, we're going to need more fans, because here comes the shit.

There's an old saying: It's not who you know, it's who you...

I dont get any of the points you are stating here.

I don't get it. Are we going into Mark's romantic life now?

78, avenue Felix Faure Paris, - 75015

is the address of the door he is entering in the video.

A lot closer to me if I should consider protesting with a bill board.

He lived there with Mark at one point? Maybe relatives apartment?

a young slender Mark is shooting this video. (There is a reflecto porn shot of him in the door as they are approaching).

more like we should consider hitting him with the bill board

He doesn't live at that hotel any longer. Noticed in the video that Jordi leads the way.

So he once lived with Mark and we are going to hit him with a billboard?  Is that pretty much the sum of it?

Oh yes, a sorry bunch we are.

he will give us information about Marks residence

Does he like french fries and fancy coffee?

True and if socially skilled, talk to the janitor and get some contact addresses for the time in question.

I', guessing 2006-2010? Is there any date stamp in the video? can you do that with a Youtube vid?

Not sure, but believe it not, cats is the common theme.

yes, the  publish date must be under the video, but as we don't have the link we should ask the OP to check it out :D

Aha: This blog registered by Magicaltux connects Mark with that address too:

http://contacterlewebmaster.com/okayblog.com

Some old Paris phone number too: 670196299

You fuckers done sticking it up my ass yet?

You have to do French also or the guy has to leave with a stinky.

I'v located the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9H_x22QPTc

it's 13.6.2007 :D

Bingo it's like the hunt for pirate@40. Next up, a pic of his mom?

And the phone number matches his phone dated 6 years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V76kqEkocBc

why don't we just gather 120BTC and pay someone to get him excuted? :D

I already had the link that I place elsewhere on this forum, but guess I forgot to include in the OP of this particular thread.

I guess that's because your brain is spinning too much, make it stop :D

the phone turned up empty.

Found a French article about his background. Apparently a wizz kid with great potential:

http://www.latribune.fr/technos-medias/20140226trib000817258/bitcoin-qui-est-le-frenchie-mark-karpeles-patron-de-mtgox-.html

Born in the suburbs of Dijon in 1985, in Paris in 2003 that the young autodidact began to make his weapons business - then it is 17 or 18 years , as a software developer.

Small as coding , passages in the video game developer Lynux Cyberjoueurs , distributor of computer products Fotovista (now Pixmania ) and in specialist downloading video games Nexway, allowed him to develop strong skills in security management network and control a wide variety of programming languages.

    "It was a true genius , he always walked around the PC arm, desk, in the tail of the restaurant ... " remembers Gilles Ridel , CEO of Nexway . " It showed in the 190 IQ ."

Confident in his abilities, Mark Karpelès began to dream of becoming their own boss . In 2009, is recognized as follows: the "geek made ​​in France " went to live in Japan, his beloved video games and electronics. He created his own company, Tibanne , specializing in web hosting and application development .

More Google translate:

http://www.20minutes.fr/high-tech/1309930-20140227-mtgox-mark-karpeles-entrepreneur-francais-coeur-scandale-bitcoin

His name often written without the accent, not suggests, but Mark Karpeles is French. He was born in Chenôve, in the suburbs of Dijon in 1985. Tray in hand, he plies his first as a network administrator for video game site. After a break in Israel, he returned to France and worked for four years at Nexway (formerly Telechargement.fr), a pioneer of e-commerce specialist in the distribution of digital content.

At 21, he impressed the CEO of the company. "It was a computer genius, autodidact," says Gilles Ridel 20 Minutes. "He had the tank but was quickly paid as if out of a great school," he remembers. According to him, Karpeles was a "supergeek with an IQ of 190 who ate and slept with his laptop."

Ergo, Mark Karpeles knew exactly what he was doing at Mt Gox, and none of this "I don't know how all those bitcoins disappeared." It ain't much of a stretch to claim that all the hacks at Mt Gox were initiated by him.

You are right Phineas, He knew exactly what he was/is doing.

Found his mom in Dijon Bourgogne, then this turned up: http://bitkoins.com/discussion/104453/karpeles-info-find-now-time-to-get-revange/p1

Someone is death serious ??? We knew that he must have crossed that kind of people too. Scary, he can't be planning on going anywhere else than into protective custody.


He was a lonely child btw.

I think for Mark to have lost 99.6% of his customers bitcoin deposits the Yakuza have already done this piece of detective work.

Further proof that the piece of shit knew exactly what he was doing even knowing how to read accounting ledgers.


I'm sure that anybody able to integrate with banks knows a debit when he sees it. A motherfucker with a 190 IQ can't simply say that he had no idea where 700K+ BTC went.

Somebody order more fans, because this Mt Gox fiasco stinks to high heaven. Even Jehovah and Buddha are holding each other's noses 'cause the stench is so bad.

never knew that idiot was french

Do you have any idea if the Yakusa was using Gox? They are kind of integrated into Japanese banking, so they haven't much use for Bitcoin to launder anything?

At least the Yakuza make handsome looking chairs with large armrests.

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_Fu8udQP16LY/SwAfgbzjpxI/AAAAAAAACEc/TdTSesK7yRI/s400/P1040411.jpg

All it takes is just ONE Yakusa to have an account... I mean no longer have an account on Mt Gox to have the furniture makers custom design Mark's chair... with the handsome large armrest.

Funny, that looks exactly like the Hentai fuck machine i've ordered the other day.

Sorry the point I was getting at is if 1/2 billion usd was in cold storage at Gox's virtual office building it's hardly fort knox for someone with bad intentions that's capable of chopping his entire family pieces...."security issues"...99.6%!!!...he's going to prison and will never be able to touch that money he didn't have much of an incentive to steel it himself unless someone gave him a big incentive.

This is the person which you trusted your money with.

If the Yakusa feel entitled to some money, they'll just get to the next in line. Anyone else involved with Mark still in Japan? Oh yes..

It's worst than that, for remember the main Mt Gox was just one of many exchanges owned by Mark Karpeles. There were several in different countries using different banks.

mtgoxUSD
mtgoxEUR
mtgoxJPY
mtgoxGBP
mtgoxAUD
mtgoxPLN
mtgoxCAD
mtgoxCHF
mtgoxSEK
mtgoxNZD
mtgoxCNY
mtgoxSGD
mtgoxHKD
mtgoxDKK
mtgoxTHB
mtgoxRUB

That's 16 different exchanges in 16 different countries, none of which were linked to one another, and all having separate incorporation papers in their respective countries. Mt Gox (USD) just happened to be the largest one that we're all familiar with, but they all went dark at the same time.

Now, you tell me how can one going down affect the other 15 unless...

Take a look here if you don't believe me: http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/

Josh, more fans please! The shit is piling up and needs to be circulated.

Another thing. Mark has been described as socially reserved in dealing with the protesters, etc.
On the other hand, starting numerous businesses since his teens and from videos around the web, he seems quite capable with a lot of social- and public attention. Also he seems like being a high bandwith type intellect.

The shy teen hacker image is not how he sees himself.

To summarize facts

1. from ex employees, no one dealt with the cold wallets, except Mark, who claims that he didn't check their contents for years.

2. Customers checking their old depositor wallet addresses claim that their money are still there, suggesting an amount that's several orders of magnitude larger than the 2000BTC officially stated as all Bitcoin assets awailable to Mark or Gox (which is the same thing as he was the sole manager of them).

3. Being who he is, with an almost Mensa IQ of 190, it's hard to believe that these wallets are not under his control still. Meaning that he has memorized the keys on some of them, even if he claims otherwise.

4. In time we will have complete graphics on all BTC movements in and out of GOX (thank god for Bitcoin) and anything missing will be hiding in plain sight for all to see.

As everybody now knows, tumblers doesn’t work in reality. You can't mix Bitcoins to less that Satoshis, and there is software available to track every single one of them ever mined.

So eventually we will all know where the money are and who to ask politely for the keys. Don't worry, his scam is impossible unless the FBI and who else buys the "coins stolen" and "I'm to stupid to run an exchange" story.

Funny thing is, that if he laundered some of the Bitcoins to fiat already (Oh the irony), then that will be revealed too, and possible ex partners will have to come up with their book keeping also, not to get dragged into this.


 

Why are all the biggest traffickers on SilkRoad, BlackMarketReloaded etc still trafficking and they've only caught the ones who did stupid shit like post guns using their personal bank cards or meet homeland security in person?

I thought tumbling DID work.

Because shutting down SR was the objective. finding every single seller from VISA to Bitcoin sold by exchanges and then tracked to SR is highly doable, but resource-wise nonsense as every seller had to be tracked and then fined for a small amount.

Australian cops started unravelling SR customers and suddenly stopped. later the did a statement that the found them through post office lists - as to not reveal Bitcoin as a tracking tool.

Gox is the opposite: one large operation with multiple proofs of deposits and high profiled.

Why do you think that most wallets get dust transactions, and have you checked which servers they often originate from?
that to prove that a specific wallet recieved money from a known source and that that Satoshi later was spent on something illegal. Standard entrapment police work, like in drug sting operations. Further they can only blow their own cover once, so no point in rounding up small fry pushers.

Doing illegal shit with Bitcoin (including stealing Billions) is begging for it.

Read up on bitcoin the protocol, how it is impossible to have a system that is completely transparent (which it needs to be to be trustworthy), and at the same time make it un traceable. That's impossible, can't be done and never was the purpose of Bitcoin. Freedom comes from saying no to fiat, not from trying to hide from authority.  

Those dust transactions - of which I got 23 so far, can't be spent. I had to leave them in old wallets. so how do they do anything?

And we're not talking small time, we're talking people who deal in dozens of kgs a month, fully automatic weapons.

All operating with impunity for 2-3 years now.

If tumbling didn't work, we would have seen more busts

Okay maybe we are talking about different kinds of dust transactions. Late 2012 I watched dust and, at the time, found most to originate from a German university. Upon shecking it IP numbers I found several police cyber crime web pages and other IP's quoted to be German intelligence servers!

Maybe they were just doing research, but it was a revelation dawning on me, that Bitcoin mined by you to a paper wallet, is the only kind of anonymous Bitcoin there is. The second it starts circulating it will always lead back to you through the goods you buy and the people you deal with.

And yes I could spend them and did. Actually they went to Gox, but that's another story.

If you look up what they did in investigating the originator of e-gold, it becomes apparent: FBI worked it's inventor for three years to help them get as much identification as possible on eastern European CC fraudsters and drug dealers, while none of it's legitimate users knew anything. This can be happening in Bitcoin too right now!

Bitcoin can't be shut down and everybody arrested at once, so what do authority do? They round up the hubs like Gox and work them into cooperation and use the intelligence gathered to get as much control as possible, then knock on more doors top down and have them sign non disclosure agreements (at gun point).

Cyfin (hacker) branch of Fincen have the tools and are quite open on how they are doing it. Look that up too

I'm not suggesting that Gox's troubles are purely with the law, Mark's mess is purely his own, the FBI shit came later, around Coinlab I think.

All these are my own conclusions, time will tell. I really love Btcoin and is grateful to have experienced it first hand, and I will continue to use it with impunity for as long as it is possible.

Bitcoin itself cant be shut down and if American authorities tries too hard to control it, we will just have a fork and the blockcahin will be maybe Chinese for a few days and everybody will be using that from then on. Simply beautiful.

we're taking this info way too serious, isn't this just a quote of how someone described him?

we don't have any proof he actually scored an IQ of 190 on an actual IQ test..

This is a slightly ironical thread putting everything Mark Karpeles that's online together to find some answers.

but shouldn't we still judge this information with human logic? :D

I mean, just because his boss described him this way doesn't make him smarter then Einsten, it's just that he's probably smart but not that smart.. ;)

The dude made an apple pie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ3g6IwrZZg Surely, that's worth a couple IQ points.

We may have to call bullshit on this one: http://listcrown.com/top-10-highest-iq-holders-world/

190 would make him smarter than Steven Hawking at 160.

One could only dream of that.
I'm still amazed at:  William James Sidis(IQ 250-300)

An IQ of 190 doesn’t make you a successful CEO, just a good mathematician

He's good at nothing.

IQ isn't just math, it's also logic and problem solving..


he's good at scamming

Proof that MK has an IQ of 190: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=491172.0

Oh, yeha, i suppose he could perform very good at putting the doge togheter... but he failed very bad in trying to solve REAL problems, and in communication too

http://eweb.furman.edu/~einstein/general/inteldemo/wais.jpg

Funny thread. Saw the press conference now in Japanese??? I'm cringing too watching him. Having been psyched up by his lawyers to stand through a press conference like that! Tough.

On the other hand. Japanese public CEO excuses like that are quite common, they always look very sad and guilty.

If he was Japanese he would now be planning how to jump out a window to save his family's name ;).

Luckily he is French, so he'll just order some hookers with snails.

This guy needs to look guilty and come up with some excuses too.:

Gonzague Gay-Bouchery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn16YZZEf0I

He is still a partner I think. 12% according to the "-ish" un-official draft.

I can't imagine that he is not mentioned in the paper work too? He made the exchange engine for Magic The Gathering, which later was transformed into Mt.Gox.
His mentioning here and there shows that he was Marks sparring partner on the premises in Tokyo.

Maybe Mark is suing him?

The French press found his mother too, and yes there was suspicion of computer fraud in the Paris already then :

Before talking to him in the world Mark Karpeles grew up in Dijon. His mother tells the journey of this computer genius .
share
Send to a friend

The man who is now the most hated Internet has boiled teenager . A chubby face "geek" who scares anyone. And yet , this young 28 year old man born in Chenôve is now the target of all fantasies on the internet. Friday , after disappearing for three days , Mark Karpeles admitted to losing the $ 480 million that were stored in virtual currency on its site, MtGox . More than one million users have lost small fortunes in history.
A higher IQ than the average

If apologized , Mark Karpeles still remains in the sights of Japanese and U.S. authorities. The disappearance of that could be fraudulent . Nothing to worry his mother, contacted Friday and an impressive calm on the phone. "I know that Mark will do what it takes . If it is hidden for three days , it's just to gain strength and confront what awaits "says the Dijon now based in Switzerland . "And if he was really worried he would have called me . "

If Anne Karpeles talks about his son as if nothing had happened " for two minutes " that have lasted 15 , the scandal generated by Mark resounding . However , the course of Mark Karpeles is nothing that a highwayman able to disappear in a few days , as he did Monday. Born in Chenôve in 1985, Mark Karpeles lived his early years in Côte- d'Or, with his mother, a geologist . He attended school Chevreul , lives in the city center of Dijon and already passionate about IT. "I think we did our first program together, Dijon, when he was 10 years old. "

Because the boy is early . An IQ test diagnostic her intelligence above average. "But there was no effort at school ," laughs his mother, not stressed by the ordeals by his son. "I made ​​him do the cooking, sewing, sport, but he mostly hung with computers. " At the point of becoming a genius, even if Anne Karpeles not pronounce the word . " Admittedly, it is not bad in the kitchen either. By cons , it can barely sew on a button (laughs). " A computer genius who, baccalaureate - got to Paris , where his mother had moved - begins in an IT company in Paris . He left the capital a little faster, accused, according to our information , computer fraud. He moved to Japan , where he bought in 2011 MtGox . It is the platform number 1 of Bitcoin . Until February 7 , when the first bug , the site managed 80% of global Bitcoin transactions . Suffice to say it was worth a fortune. Today , Mark Karpeles , is accused by the Internet community to be incompetent - at best - or a crook. Nothing to worry his mother who , unlike his son, a young dad, kept ties in Côte -d'Or. "The last time I went to visit him in Japan, its website had been attacked . He solved the problem overnight , "says Anne Karpeles . "I 'm sure it will still succeed this time . " Before starting , a knowing smile , a lapidary : " And $ 480 million is what we see when playing with what states and financiers. "

For the background, see the little guy Chenôve now married to a Japanese attacked on all sides, Anne Karpeles expected. "The computer world is hard. And when we know how the Bitcoin angry central banks , governments , one can understand that my son disturbed. " At the point of today find themselves propelled to the front of the stage. Not bad for the former shy child the Rue Neuve- Bergère de Dijon.

Still not smarter then Gary Kasparov which just got Croatian citzenship :)
