Title: [2014-04-20] Oman Tribune: MtGox CEO not to appear in court Post by: bryant.coleman on April 20, 2014, 06:35:17 AM http://www.omantribune.com/index.php?page=news&id=165963&heading=Business
Quote Mark Karpeles, the chief executive of MtGox, said he would not come to the United States to answer questions about the Japanese Bitcoin exchange’s US bankruptcy case, MtGox lawyers told a federal judge on Monday. In the court filing, MtGox lawyers cited a subpoena from the US Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, which has closely monitored virtual currencies like bitcoin. The rule of the law is not applicable to the super-rich!

But it seems that right now they are unwilling to do so, whatever may be their reasons. So we are helpless.

But it seems that right now they are unwilling to do so, whatever may be their reasons. So we are helpless. No it's not. It is their duty to prosecute accordingly when there has been a crime committed from within their jurisdiction. Are they going to extradite him to every country that had customers that lost money? What makes the US so special that you believe he belongs there? We know for a fact that the US authorities closed his US accounts and thereafter made it almost impossible for him to operate within the US. Why on earth would it be their responsibility to prosecute him now?

Title: Re: [2014-04-20] Oman Tribune: MtGox CEO not to appear in court Post by: bryant.coleman on April 20, 2014, 10:14:06 AM When he has a company registered in a country(USA), than yes it is the duty of another country(Japan) to extradite him to this country(USA). You are right, that it doesn't depend on where the customers are from. Thanks for making it clear. I was getting a little bit confused. Watch: this makes the news. "US pressures Japan to turn over Bitcoin criminal who lost victims over $600M." ::) I don't care much about the news headlines. The Mt Gox scandal has already did huge damage to Bitcoin in terms of publicity. It will not get any worse now. The important part is that Mark Kerpeles should be brought to justice. |
