Being who he is, with an almost Mensa IQ of 190
we're taking this info way too serious, isn't this just a quote of how someone described him? we don't have any proof he actually scored an IQ of 190 on an actual IQ test.. This is a slightly ironical thread putting everything Mark Karpeles that's online together to find some answers. but shouldn't we still judge this information with human logic?  I mean, just because his boss described him this way doesn't make him smarter then Einsten, it's just that he's probably smart but not that smart..  Proof that MK has an IQ of 190: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=491172.0 |

I'm sorry for your loss Roger. Losing 24000 BTC in a single day must be tough. Especially in the way it happened. Isn't it clear to anyone who is paying attention? Mtgox lost everyones bitcoins and didn't notice until 99% of them were gone.
Actually no that is not obvious to me at all. How do you lose everyone's bitcoins without noticing exactly? I agree. I can swallow everything else, but this particular point is nonsense/not well thought out. Again, i give the benefit of doubt. There is no way 99% of the coins would vanish slowly without them going "Oh wait, 30% of the coins in our database are NOT backed by real BTC we are holding in all our wallets combined" Maybe if not at 30% at 50% they SURELY should have noticed SOMETHING. It's a complete garbage theory which no judge in court would buy even for a second, even if Karpeles had the IQ of fruit. He cannot be THAT stupid given he knows how to program and has been running some business before. For the incompetence theory to hold, we would have to be looking at the stupidest people walking earth to run MtGox. If not karpeles, SOMEONE there would have noticed.... Question: Can you name a fruit (no pud intended) that has an IQ of 190? Now, name a fruit (NPI) that's a member of Mensa France. Also, name a fruit that's very familiar with the banking system. When you're done, I name you a guy in Japan, originally from France, that fits the bill. I'll give you a hint: He's been in the news lately, even gracing the cover of USA Today yesterday. BTW, Paymium is about to get their balls busted next. |

According to that source, it was at this meeting in which Karpeles and colleague Gonzague Gay-Bouchery first outlined the extent of Mt. Gox’s losses. Are you telling me, and am I just learning, that this Gonzague Gay-Bastard (non-homophobe speaking) is the same dude that runs Paymium and ran InstaWallet where I'm still waiting for my 1,132 BTC to be returned to me since last April? I think it's about time for me to honor a couple of those interview requests I've recently received. I'm going to take a nap here in a bit after I get off this shitter (Polish sausage diet for past week now) to mull this over. Now, I'm really pissed! |

That is the dumbest answer I've seen from you yet.
As much as it annoys me that you keep introducing new reasons of why bitcoin is not for you whenever an argument shows that it is not a black and white answer and bitcoin could have merit I do value that this discussion is taking place with solid arguments.
The potential for getting rich is a reflection of the high risks you are actually pointing out.
Bitcoin could be replaced by some other crypto currency.
All the points you are making are the reasons why bitcoins current value is what it is and why it might be magnitudes more once they are resolved.
Just like you many many people are saying the risk is too high.
Please don't put words into my mouth. I have never said that bitcoin is not for me. I have earned quite a buck with investing in bitcoin. The disagreement comes where I don't see that bitcoin has a very long future infront of it. I see about a year or maybe two. And I have been telling if the problems with the current market threat is resolved, then the price can go up. It seems that if you don't agree with the constant shouts of "now this is the bottom and it will go up!" or arguments like "bitcoin will be used for decades to come!" then people here will actually start to demonize you, with acting like you are saying things that you have never actually said. Hi- just a thought... If Bitcoin has a year or two, then whatever is going to replace it, then it must already be around right now.... so which coin is it? and what does it do that is going to make it out compete Bitcoin in your opinion? Ripple. Rumor has it that Jed is currently looking for a Frenchman who has a Frenchman roommate that both code to sell it to one of them for an undisclosed amount. Sometimes, you just can't make this shit up. |

This is the person which you trusted your money with.
It's worst than that, for remember the main Mt Gox was just one of many exchanges owned by Mark Karpeles. There were several in different countries using different banks. Hi All,
I'm just wondering how Mt.Gox (and other brokerage sites) actually work? Do they have actual branches of their banks or is it like a separate company that holds a bank account and sets up a database of users to transfer funds to separately? I know Mt Gox's bank is in Japan but is the company also hosted there. Just very confused with regard to security and how they're set up to make all this happen without any pressure from banks or governments. So how does something like Mt Gox actually get set up? Still researching a ton about BTC in general and have a lot of questions but this one was kind of nagging me.
Actually, MtGox is more than just Japan. Our head office is located in Tokyo (in Shibuya), and we have branches all around the world. For example for European deposits, we have a bank account in Poland held by MtGox Poland.We comply as much as possible with local regulations in countries where we are present, and always look for opportunities to make our activity more compliant. In Japan we discussed with the FSA ( http://www.fsa.go.jp/ ) and were told that our activity is fine as it is now. We are also working with authorities in Europe and US to ensure our activity is in line with local regulations. |

I think for Mark to have lost 99.6% of his customers bitcoin deposits the Yakuza have already done this piece of detective work.
Do you have any idea if the Yakusa was using Gox? They are kind of integrated into Japanese banking, so they haven't much use for Bitcoin to launder anything? All it takes is just ONE Yakusa to have an account... I mean no longer have an account on Mt Gox to have the furniture makers custom design Mark's chair... with the handsome large armrest. |

At least the Yakuza make handsome looking chairs with large armrests.  |

You are right Phineas, He knew exactly what he was/is doing.
Further proof that the piece of shit knew exactly what he was doing even knowing how to read accounting ledgers. Hello Everyone
I created mtgox on a lark after reading about bitcoins last summer. It has been interesting and fun to do. I’m still very confident that bitcoins have a bright future. But to really make mtgox what it has the potential to be would require more time than I have right now. So I’ve decided to pass the torch to someone better able to take the site to the next level.
MagicalTux has already contributed a lot to the bitcoin community and in many ways he will be better at running the site than I was. He has much more experience with web programming, system administration and integrating with banks and other payment processors than I do.
Everything will still work the same as always for the time being. But expect a lot of positive changes after he takes over including:
Automatic (and free) funding from Euro accounts.
Automatic ACH deposit and withdrawal.
Margin trading.
Interface redesign.
Lifting the $1000 a day withdrawal limit.
Thanks to everyone that has supported mtgox so far. Can’t wait to see BTC hit $10!
I can still be reached on the forum as "jed" or through fivegrinder.com
I'm sure that anybody able to integrate with banks knows a debit when he sees it. A motherfucker with a 190 IQ can't simply say that he had no idea where 700K+ BTC went. Somebody order more fans, because this Mt Gox fiasco stinks to high heaven. Even Jehovah and Buddha are holding each other's noses 'cause the stench is so bad. |

the phone turned up empty. Found a French article about his background. Apparently a wizz kid with great potential: http://www.latribune.fr/technos-medias/20140226trib000817258/bitcoin-qui-est-le-frenchie-mark-karpeles-patron-de-mtgox-.htmlBorn in the suburbs of Dijon in 1985, in Paris in 2003 that the young autodidact began to make his weapons business - then it is 17 or 18 years , as a software developer. Small as coding , passages in the video game developer Lynux Cyberjoueurs , distributor of computer products Fotovista (now Pixmania ) and in specialist downloading video games Nexway, allowed him to develop strong skills in security management network and control a wide variety of programming languages. "It was a true genius , he always walked around the PC arm, desk, in the tail of the restaurant ... " remembers Gilles Ridel , CEO of Nexway . " It showed in the 190 IQ ." Confident in his abilities, Mark Karpelès began to dream of becoming their own boss . In 2009, is recognized as follows: the "geek made in France " went to live in Japan, his beloved video games and electronics. He created his own company, Tibanne , specializing in web hosting and application development . More Google translate: http://www.20minutes.fr/high-tech/1309930-20140227-mtgox-mark-karpeles-entrepreneur-francais-coeur-scandale-bitcoinHis name often written without the accent, not suggests, but Mark Karpeles is French. He was born in Chenôve, in the suburbs of Dijon in 1985. Tray in hand, he plies his first as a network administrator for video game site. After a break in Israel, he returned to France and worked for four years at Nexway (formerly Telechargement.fr), a pioneer of e-commerce specialist in the distribution of digital content. At 21, he impressed the CEO of the company. "It was a computer genius, autodidact," says Gilles Ridel 20 Minutes. "He had the tank but was quickly paid as if out of a great school," he remembers. According to him, Karpeles was a "supergeek with an IQ of 190 who ate and slept with his laptop." Ergo, Mark Karpeles knew exactly what he was doing at Mt Gox, and none of this "I don't know how all those bitcoins disappeared." It ain't much of a stretch to claim that all the hacks at Mt Gox were initiated by him. |
