everyone is saying that Mark Karpeles is bad

[bryant.coleman]

lol. "found." right...

Just like he found the 200,000 BTCs in a forgotten wallet two weeks ago. How shameless can this guy get?

When you find something in your wallet not belonging to you is it stealing or finding....

I don't know if he's bad or good, but he's disorganized and irresponsible. He's making all of us Bitcoin people look bad. People ask me, "is bitcoin not safe?" And I have to explain to them that Bitcoin is safe, it's the Bitcoin exchanges that can be unreliable. It's like if a bank gets robbed, you don't blame the U.S. dollar; so when a Bitcoin bank gets robbed, you mustn't blame Bitcoin.

His failure put bad image on every bitcoin user. Because of him cryptocurrencies will take long time to recover.

but he found like 900,000 BTC in the past month (i read the articles).  so doesn't that make him a "good" guy, the likes of Dorian?

if your name indicates you write for a magazine as your day job. then please find a new career.

he didnt FIND coins.. he remembered/admitted where he hid them. but only after american lawyers demanded that he goes to america to be deposed..

Does anyone have an address for him? He holds quiet a lot of my money and I wish to contact him about it in person. He started gox through fraud and I doubt he had much money of his own at the time, any personal wealth he has now was gained through gox imo.
I wonder on his personal holdings, web sites and net cafes etc, what does that add up to?

For those who wish the matter to just go away, they remind me of the type who tells a victim of rape to go clean themselves up as it is unpleasant to look at them. We are not bots but very real people.

Starbucks is about to be his best friend, when he cashes in the btc he stole and becomes #1 customer.

that'll get him what...2 venti mocha's and a scone?
