The unusual behavior of 'Willy' - A Mt. Gox trading bot. (http://bitforum.info/t/wizsec-brought-more-light-about-mt-gox/312?u=thebitboss)

Do you think Mark Karpeles is behind this?

Do you think that because of the fact that Ulbricht is going to be sentenced soon, are they going for Karpeles too?

Extremely old story.........
Have you heard about the brand new altcoins called Namecoin and Litecoin?   :D

yea when I saw the title I thought this was going to be about the return of bitcoinbuilder  ;D. (who would'a thunk it -- bitcoinbuilder might be one of the few non-scammers in the bitcoin space.)

Ha!
Wait a few months, the crypto world will go nuts over some puppy doggy.

How Ulbricht and Karpeles are related?

They are not in the same jurisdiction, and as far I know Silk Road was nothing close to an exchange

yes, mark has still the money.

yes, your news site advertising is pretty obvious.

Karpeles probably has all the money somewhere in the clouds.

Tatoo'd on his wrist, worth $150,000,000 or so at current rates.

He probably mix mix mix and SOld!

How does one mix several hundred 1000s of bitcoins though? Especially as a most wanted man in bitcoin.

can we track down Gox coins ? I've never seen anyone doing this.

I don't think we can
I don't see anyone saying here they are in so long

I like puppies, that sounds like fun.  :)

MtGox:
How come Mark K. is not in jail, yet?

No clue, officially. Like most people, I believe he has access to millions and millions od dollars in stolen BTC. Therefore, has the most qualified attorneys keeping him free, for the moment.
My humble opinion.

Breakingnews Kerpeles owns BTER too  :P

It may be because they dont have proofs, that he stole that money.

YES, his system was bad and many people lost their coins, but he may not (or may ofc) stole them bud he did not do anything illegal until they prove that he has something to do with the money lost.
The second thing you have to remember is that he has lost a lot (and I mean a LOT) of money himself (from trades, ads etc etc)... it is unfortunate, but he is victim as well as any person with mt gox money stolen

Were there rumors he did a deal with the US to avoid prosecution in return for giving them the information they needed to find out who DPR was? If he did do a deal he would be immune from prosecution by the US. That still leaves the Japanese police who think Mt Gox was an inside job, but they're still investigating.

It is also something called Presumption of innocence
  :-\

The fat guy named karpeles aka magicalTux will never go in jail. If he will put in jail I'm sure it will be an huge pump (and we will reach 1k dollars per bitcoin http://nodownloadzoneforum.net/public/style_emoticons/default/Asd.gif).

Karpeles only owned MT Gox and has made enough money from that to retire for life.

ugh. stick with small exchanges like cointrader, coinchimp and localbitcoins .. the big ones are all scams

In localbitcoins you can get stabbed by some thug. Everything has it's own risks.

Unless you are saying that all the coins will get returned to all the owners.

no need to mix.  no one knows what wallets they're in.  they've been gone a very long time and since no "theft" was claimed we don't know from where to where they went.

yep true..there is no need to mix, we don't know where they are

reasoning?
i think that if he goes to jail we will see a huge dump (because he'd need money then and wouldnt be afraid that much if he get caught)

if he really stole it: i still think he could just be very very dump and bigheaded

Good to see Gox being discussed, from my point of view.

They might just be going around him , seeing they got no other work other than distrubing bitcoin lads :(

even if he didn't steal anything (which I doubt), he should be guilty of criminal negligence because you don't let hundreds of thousands of bitcoins disappear...there is simply no excuse.  period!

Karpeles is hiding on his Tokyo mansion reading this thread and having a laugh.

... and remember that he is visiting the forum, his latest visit here in the forum was the 20th Feb. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2134).

but you are joking or what???

if you are not joking give us some links plz!!!

 ;)

That's exactly happening right now. Has anyone wondered why the exchange rates have fallen by 50% during the last 4-5 months? Someone is dumping all the stolen Gox coins (BTC 850,000 in total). And that "someone" is none other than our fat boy Karpeles.

How can 850k coins disappear without anyone knowing where are they in the blockchain ? This is ridiculous.

I doubt that any part of that amount was sold. They're just waiting to be sold. I remain bearish until i know the fate of this stash.

Edit: Last year Mt Gox announced it "found" a chunk of 200k coins. So where is this amount ? who is holding this ? How will this chunk be handled ?

It is possible. Mt Gox has not released any details relating to the robbery, including the blockchain transactions.

What we know is that the coins were stolen from multiple wallets (hundreds, or even thousands). We don't know the addresses of any of these wallets, and Mt Gox is refusing demands by its users to publish the details. 

They think that they aren't obligated to say anything, and this is true. Was the exchange regulated at the end? I think karpeles will never go in jail.



It was a sarcastic phrase, no one know what will happen if karpeles will go in jail. It could be possible that it wont happen nothing.

We can't assume it was him but there defiantly should be some type of investigation into the matter.

The entire investigation in to this robbery is a sham. The Japanese cops are not taking it seriously.


He has got good connections with high ranking politicians and bankers (especially in Japan and France). So unlike Ullbricht, he will avoid jail.

Not understanding why a bot was turned off when Japan slept has anything to do with theft. If a bot is turned on and off why is that a bad thing?

Just like what happened to Moolah CEO who sold his stolen coins to a guy name LemonadeDev but turns out it was still him.  ;) ;)

Thuglife!

i remeber...
...MintPal...

at the beginning this is really a good & nice exchange...

but we all know how that turned out...

That guy had messed pretty big

Karpeles is long gone after Ulbricht was captured. So thats not him..

This Mt. Gox issue is done. closed.
Authorities should be focusing their time on other issues that is helpful to us.

LOL.. Mark Karpeles is relaxing in his beach house and enjoying his money..

I believe i read in the silk road case that Ulbricht said Karpeles was the real DPR. I could be wrong tho.

He was active last night.

Lol.. That was just a desperate from Dratel.
Mark Karpeles is already very rich with Mt. Gox, why would he trade his legit biz with drugs?
That would be stupid.

That is not a development and there wont be anymore development.

Karpeles is enjoying his millions in an island far far away.

I have a feeling you've just been lured by a troll...

Ross is a US citizen, Mark is not. So the US is not going to be able to prosecute Mark for anything...Mt Gox wasn't operated in the US!

Err no he's not.  The fat man was last seen at a Twitch conference.  He also lives in one of the most expensive condo towers in Japan.  Probably can be seen if you hangout in the Starbucks he goes to.
