he lost $500 Million  --- a car -and printer  maybe $200 K  ---- need to find the $499.8 Million

This is about the situation in 2012, he haven't got $500 mil back then.
This only shows how unprofessional Karpeles dealt with customer funds.

Anyone who used MtGox and had transactions that didn't go through remember how long it would take for MtGox to reimburse?

7 days after the BTC withdraw transaction didn't get through, but it was in the end of january 2014

Care-free? How do you know that? Do you know him personally?
When you gain a lot of weight because of extreme stress I can't call that being care-free. The guy sounded pretty disturbed at the press conference as well. He's just incompetent that's all and that has nothing to do with him being jewish.


You don't need to know somebody personally to have a view on him, you can jugde by his actions.

You obviously haven't read how a fucked up personality Mark Karpeles has: http://www.dailytech.com/Bitcoin+King+Mt+Gox+CEO+Mark+Karpels+History+of+Arrests+Firings/article34442.htm

He was dishonest, can lie in your face without a blink of an eye, has scammed others in the past for tens thousands of dollars, has been arrested for criminal charges.
He was fired multiple times by his employers, he was lazy, unprofessional, overconfident egomaniac.

Quote
In many ways Mr. Karpelès appeared to care more for animals than humans.

His attitude towards employers, employees, and humans in general appeared over cold and callous at times.  He seemed to have little compunction with lying to the face of supervisors (according to reprimand letters and various sources) and was unsympathetic enough to crack a small grin despite his Bitcoin investors' woes.

Before meeting his wife, his only consistent friend and companion over the years was Tibane, a white and orange tabby cat.
 
Mr. Karpelès' love for the cat was so abundant that when he founded his Japanese company (which would eventually go on to purchase Mt. Gox) he would name it after his pet, adding an 'n' to mildly disguise this interesting fact.

Like I said in another thread, the database dump of 500,000 verified customers who uploaded minimum 2 documents ( suppose the average size is 1MB ) would be of 1000 GB size, not 20 GB.

"yep – and in fact I actually wire transferred $15,000 the same day the website was shut down. Fuck me."

Ouch...!

A couple of interesting articles:

http://gawker.com/does-mt-goxs-ceo-have-a-secret-history-of-online-payme-1534752110

http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/03/mt-gox-source-code-leaked-by-hackers-along-with-team-information-customer-data/

Looks like Empty Gox's 20GB database of customer info (along with bank/passport scans) has been hacked...

Talk about adding insult to injury....

The last one, ouch. Before I was just disappointed, now I am angry.

Never trust a PHP coder!

does this mean we'll have to go silk road to buy our passports back?

From what I understood from thr IRC chat it's an old database with documents.
They stored it previously in the MySQL database.

They had 500,000 verified customers, everyone had to send minimum 2 scanned documents.
If you assume that the average size of a document is 1MB the database should be of 1000 gigabytes size, not 20.

[14:17] <MagicalTux> It's up to the US govt when we can access the cold storage
[14:17] <MagicalTux> We never got it back after they confiscated it last summer
[14:18] <MagicalTux> I'm gonna be frank here
[14:18] <MagicalTux> They let us keep running the exchange but they did freeze all our assets in relation to the SR to investigation

So I was right then.

The FBI ran it as a honeypot and kept the deposit window open.

I knew it.  That's why he said "Things could not be better" because he was a captured piece and is glad for the relief and final truth.  The FBI stole everyone's coin from the moment they stepped in.

What other sorts of sites have they taken over and run in a criminal fashion?  Hmm?  Hhaha, I knew that this was what happened.

Some might argue that honeypots have a way of backfiring.  If one were to suppose the root cause of the JFK assassination was tweaking of US politics by European diplomats and intelligence to punish J Edgar Hoover's attempt to control UN voting by NYC tracking and recording personal failings of UN diplomats, al la Bobby Baker and control of congressional voting so it goes the 'the right way', we'd say that FBI honeypot scheme didn't work out well for the US.

To itsunderstood: this faked chat is a fucking rickroll you dumbass.
Don't bother to reply, had you on ignore for weeks.

I had tried to withdraw small sum of BTC 10 minutes ago.

6 withdraw attempts, 0.11 BTC  each

5 got stuck, 1 got through and is confirming


No more: "Invalid bitcoin address, please confirm your input" alert


Light in the tunnel? Hopefully it isn't a choo-choo.

New report:
https://picostocks.com/docs/index/31
Get ready to loss almost 75% BTC Wink


At first I thought it's really bad news, but after cooling down this buyback offer indicates that Cointerra is doing very good. They are selling their preorders continuously, have a finished product and started shipping.

Ironically the fast spiking BTC/USD exchange rate is to be blamed.

Cointerra issued private stocks to angel investors like picostocks and we bought them for BTC and they had to exchange those bitcoins for USD to finish the tapeout and produce miners.
Cointerra customers paid for those miners also in USD so even the company has not profited from the BTC value rise they wanted to buy buck issued shares at 200% share value. If the BTC value hasn't risen so much in this short time span the share price would have been doubled by now.



Disclaimer: i have cointerra shares worth 1 BTC

From the look of the charts I'm sure we're heading to double digits now.

My dog confirmed it.

Trolling fun aside this charting website is more up to date with the trading: http://bitcoinwisdom.com/

It's not so overloaded as bitcoinity and thus showstrading in real time.
13  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: November 27, 2013, 06:31:55 PM
I would say, we're heading to double digits.
1 BTC = 80$ by end of the year.

Yes, please make it happen. My bot is loaded with 5 figure dollar amount to buy cheap coins all the way down.

My bot is loaded with $80 and this is my plan to become filthy rich:

1. Buy 1BTC for $80
2. ? ? ?
3. Profit!!!

I can see some light in the tunnel right now!!

DOWN to double digits!!
14  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: November 27, 2013, 03:23:25 PM
Where are my double digits???

Breaking the $1000 barrier was just mean  Undecided
15  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: November 27, 2013, 02:59:37 PM
So what do you think guys when we hit $1000, will it be like when we hit $900 the first time, with a 30% correction, or will it be like when we hit $900 this second time, with a huge pump towards around $1030?

90% correction to double digits

Keep dreaming.

Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and short bitcoins with 1:10 leverage? And then report back, please.

Of course I always put my money where my mouth is, so i risked a whole $80 on a 1BTC buy order.
Now I'm waiting excited.

Their all valid points mate.



But this jet is running out of fuel, the markets propped up by major speculation at the moment, serious algo-bot trading and pumping up, it's going over the cliff with nothing left under it's feet, and when people realize their buying into the top dollar bag holding club, there will be a change in direction. (in my humble opinion).

I always feel like the relevant information from that graph comes from it being integrated. It gives a whole new meaning to it.

That being said, I think we are overbought and $600 sounds right.

I would say, we're heading to double digits.
1 BTC = 80$ by end of the year.

We're going down to double digits. This is confirmed.
