Of all the times he has looked in the mirror, how could he missed seeing that his plan won't work. The noose would slip off.

Trolling will never stop. That is the law of the internet. But there are many kinds of trolls. This one was not that bad to be honest. :)

My friend is a psychiatrist. He told me that if some guy is serious about suicide, then he will never tell his intentions to anyone. On the other hand, some of the attention seekers try to get cheap publicity by threatening that they'll commit suicide.

He can't be a very good psychologist then and probably shouldn’t be working in the field if this is true. Whilst it is sometimes the case that people threaten suicide for attention it can also be a cry for help, and many people do seek help if they're feeling suicidal, but spreading this sort of misinformation doesn't help at all especially when there's already a stigma attached to people who are feeling depressed or suicidal.

Isn't that great? To be honest, PG has raised a ton of money for charities, and have gotten some to accept Bitcoins. Plus, some of his trolling is actually pretty funny.

blogged that he had seriously considering hanging himself with a network cable from a high-rise window

He is useless when alive, should at least make himself useful when dead. He should seriously consider being an organ donor and hang himself in a hospital, not a high rise.

If this were happen to be true and he really did it I wouldn't shed a tear. He's a thief and a liar, no wonder he'd choose a coward's death.

Or just kill himself without inflicting harm/damage to anything/anyone else. Just go out to the beach and drown yourself, worst death possible and the most deserving one.

He could be brave and take the samurai road.

I heard he has a lot of samurai swords, but would be a waste to dirty them :(

Working on a commemorative coin with MagicalTux holding a network cable.

1 inch diameter. 999 fine silver.

Preorder now, BTC0.105 or BTC0.14 to include a case and signed memoir from Mark Karpeles.

PM me for bulk prices.
Wait no, don't PM me.
In fact, NO INQUIRIES.

A total of 5 people lost more than BTC10,000 in Mt Gox. Another 94 lost more than BTC1,000. I don't think these people will allow Karpeles to simply vanish from the face of earth.  ;D

for people who've got tons of btc without much effort I don't think it should that bad for them, but there are (and I think they are very few) who bought such amount of BTC at high $$$

No way he would commit suicide. He has millions in his wallet.  :)

You hear that Official Executioner? Make sure you use the appropriate amount of sand. We don't want to have a similar Oklahoma incident to answer to.

I disagree with that. It doesn't matter whether the users got their bitcoins for $0.1 or for $1,200. What really matters is that they lost Bitcoins, when the same was going at $900 per coin.

He has no neck! No wonder it would just slip right off his head.

Hence the OP. FYI, he does have a neck, but this particular camera angle of him fits perfectly with the quote, so I juxtaposed the two. At least we all learnt that the noose option is still available, thus there's still hope.

Yeah, that seems on point.  :) At least give the btc back before that! fml.

The coins are gone my friend, and no one can get them back. That is the problem with Bitcoin. Once it is stolen, it can never be recovered. (Off course, unless the thief send them back  ;D).
