what do you think?

I think "Karpeles" and "investing" should not go together in one sentence for several thousand more years; he still owes $600 million.

totally agree, sometimes people dont know when to stop; this is called avarice.

btw i dont know why but this guy, I do not like much :P

In b4 twitch.tv customer subscription funds are lost due to transaction malleability.

wat proof is there that he is associated with twitch

He stole 800k bitcoins, and he's been selling thousands of them for at least half a year.

that motherfucker

Twitch should not accept any kind of investment from that thief.

That dude is having a good time with stolen money, and the victims suffer from their major losses.....

how can Josh Homo Garza sleep at night? these people are not "normal" people. thats the reason.

I still don't see any proof that he's investing in twitch.

Probably coming out of all the bitcoins he stole from gox - sorry "got hacked" *cough bullshit cough*.

Haha, twitch actually accepts BTC for the twitch turbo subscription :)

until they charge him for fraud he still has huge personal wealth, reported to be a large holder of personal BTC also.

That's right. Remember that there has been no finding that MK has done anything illegal. A lot of people here have tried and convicted him for the money they lost, but that does not give anyone the authority to take any of his money. Of course, all that would change with a conviction for fraud.

amuses me much how he walks around freely and not one of the 1000s of people he stole from does anything about him, bitcoiners are beta as fuck

I don't think so. Coins cannot be seized if properly protected and I do believe MK knows how to prevent others from accessing his coins.
If he doesn't consent, no one will take his coins.

The new word seems to be calling people beta for stuff, its cool i must keep up with the youth and start dropping it in sentences.

A scammer/thief believes that because he was smart enough or skilled enough,
he is thereby entitled to the money.  Concerns for others, "fairness", or "ethics"
are a distant second, if considered at all.

Or, if the person has some sense of ethics, perhaps they feel a
small tinge of guilt, but their greed forces them to repress it.

yes there is that but i meant do something as in getting their money back not posting things about him online

its a good word

People are taking legal action. That is a slow process, sure, but what is your alternative?

Even taking legal action against mtgox I  highly doubt much is going to happen. If the company finally going to bail and go bankrupt as the legal court release said that they are going to file for bankruptcy then how is anyone to actually file a claim against a company that has zero assets left to distribute across all its customers.  Plus the Chinese police claiming it was an inside job maybe something will come to light and the coins are magically found again and a recovery process starts to happen. Only time will tell with gox

paying the debtor a visit in person usually works in my experience

And then you do what? Break his legs, when he don't pay?
We live in the real world not in a Hollywood movie.

He is rich enough to disappear, wouldnt surprise me if someone does this in the future but nobody knows the exact truth yet.

How do we know that is even him? The picture is low res and 1000 different people look like that.

I think it's him..... he was always wearing T-shirts, even going into the office just after loosing 750,000BTC he happily strolls in wearing a t-shirt clutching his coffee, f*cking wanker.....

It just shows how twitch tv has no integrity.  I remember actually watching good players stream on there originally.
Look at the people they let stream now.  Every other video is an average girl who is the lowest rank possible, yet twitch promotes them as gamers.

   ^^ This about sums it up.

strange thing is, bitcoin was meant to save us from trusting third part big bankster types, yet here we are 5 years on and people are still getting goxed.

I may have the chronology wrong, but I believe that photo was snapped before the big implosion. Rather, I think it was when withdrawals were merely 'problematic'. Granted, the bitcoins may have already been gone, but the world at large did not yet know this.

i thought it was when they suspended customers ability to do anything, i was(luckily) never effected so my timeline of events is a bit vague.
Either way we have the esteemed Mr K. casually strolling into his bitcoin bank , wearing a t-shirt holding his coffee frappucino, knowing fine well things were not all so well and good in the banks books, regardless if the public had been told yet, he knew..... oh and he was wearing a t-shirt  ::)

Is Mark Karpeles still in Japan or he moved to a more secluded country?   8)

To be honest with the amount of people with questions and many people after him I doubt he is safe anywhere until he can give solid proof he had nothing to do with the hacking and loss of coins. No doubt that he is somewhere in the world waiting for all this to settle down and for him to spend everyone else's coins.

I actually this is an awesome move. He's heading into an area that is waiting to made commercial.

This should be made a movie, to show how a fucking fat man who drinks star bucks coffe, goes in all happy, when a guy, who is probably almost broke is trying to get his money back.  WTF he aint in Jail!!!!!!

Wait Dread pirate roberts in jail and hasnt scammed anyone but this guy scams and he gets away with it?
