The head of collapsed Bitcoin exchange MtGox was facing fresh embezzlement charges Wednesday, as Japanese media said some of the allegedly stolen funds were spent on prostitutes.

Japan's top-selling Yomiuri newspaper reported that the defunct firm's chief had spent an unspecified sum on prostitutes, while the Jiji Press news agency, citing police, said it involved "several women whom he met at venues that offer sexual services".
