It's just a joke or something else?
I notice the news report on Apr 4, 2015, and only one resource, there are no other resource can confirm this.

[buysellbitcoin]

It looks like user submitted content and not actual reporting.

Same as Zimbabway declaring BTC as official currency.

Relax

lol funny stuff

[Lauda]

Nice joke. Sadly the joke is on all the people who lost money.
We all still hope that someday it will all be found.

[el kaka22]

Just a information: if 650k BTC that previously not in the market suddenly pushed into the market, then the price must drop by a lot!

Absolutely, the price would probably crash. The market barely handles te 3600 btc that ar mined each day let alone 650k bitcoin. But this doesn't look like a trustworthy or official source.

[redsn0w]

Yes of course, funny 'article' . I'm waiting for more source and proofs.

Some of the coins might already have been dumped. He is a fat ass thief who made people lose millions, but he is not that stupid to deposit everything into several exchanges.

Coins have been mixed thoroughly and sent to hundreds - thousands of addresses in small quantities. That's his best chance in hoping no one will find out his addresses.

unless they sold those off market, like someone intelligent would do, but it doesn't matter because this news is fake as hell

It is most likely an april fools joke. What puzzles me tho and what I dont get is, how did Karpeles hide 650K BTC? Jesus. Isn't bitcoin pseudoanonymous? why aren't they able to trace the coins back? Did he really run 650000 coins throught a mixer or what?

1st of April was quite close to the release time, so probably you are right.

What will you think if it is not an April fool and that fat guy (karpeles) *found the bitcoin?


*but he can't 'catch' them.

[unamis76]

Had a nice laugh with this. The news came a bit late, 1st of April is long gone

[Ron~Popeil]

I imagine this would not be too funny to the people that lost their life savings in that fiasco. It is probably a case of click whoring by the site. Either way it is a crappy thing to give people false hope.

[crazyivan]

Yup, some sick ass s playing with feeling of people who lost a lot of money on that thief`s exchange. Not nice, definitely not nice.

[CrackedLogic]

Mark Karpeles stated at a news conference that while looking for his car keys, he found an old style bitcoin wallet in his couch cushions - See more at: http://www.uspa24.com/bericht-3744/650000-btc-from-mtgox-found.html#sthash.J19PTtfl.dpuf

Okay, I stopped reading there. Why would you believe that? Even if Karpeles did find a wallet hidden his couch, do you really think he's going to return the coins or at least make an announcement?

I very much doubt it.

If he can recover the bitcoin he will be able to return and fulfill all the users, because he is obligated. If it is only an April fool, then go fuc* yourself karpeles and who wrote that article.

[maku]

I will shed some light on this case. Did you guys notice that there is SOURCE link below that Karpeles picture? If you click on it: http://thecoinfront.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/
You wil reach http://thecoinfront.com/ page and article which was previously there is missing -

Sorry, the page you asked for couldn't be found.
Please, try to use the search form below.

So you guessed right. It is a fake news.

[jbrnt]

This is fabricated. There is no other media on the internet reporting the story. There was not a news conference where MK stated he found 650,000 coins.

Mark Karpeles stated at a news conference that while looking for his car keys, he found an old style bitcoin wallet in his couch cushions...

This is Bitcoin. What seems to be the dumbest joke ever could soon turn out to be reality... however that doesn't mean that Mt.Gox victims will receive a single Satoshi.

At least, Karpeles is a well seated guy.

ya.ya.yo!

[Cruxer]

lol funny stuff

I bet its funny, but not to people who lost money on gox

[gogxmagog]

If true this would be all over the place. It would be HUGE news. That right there is your proof this is a spoof.

[Sheldor333]

Yeah right. Don't believe a word of it.

*but he can't 'catch' them.

Well obviously this was carefully planned. It's not just as simple as running huge amounts of them though the mixer.
If you look here:
https://blockchain.info/address/13JAudzPvKYyBtY9XpkhNW3YdDqBsi3c7Q
https://blockchain.info/address/1CC9tfJhGp1o1DGU7PZ5hD8LvxLYccdCJt

That's where over 420K were. They kept splitting up from there until many addresses held less than 1k coins.
Why would they split it so many times? Obviously this behavior is quite unusual and causes suspicion, but wait let's blametransaction malleability.

this article was posted "04/04/2015, 02:06 Time"
if it was a real news then many online news site would have published it on their site,but it looks like a joke or troll

[Jybrael]

That was quite a funny story..and I believe its just someone trolling...I mean look at the weirdness of the story... Also if the story was true wouldn't we be reading about it almost everywhere...

[cryptworld]

that title is really sensasionalist and it leads to confusion, you should change it

[redsn0w]

Yes of course because there is not any 650'000 bitcoin, he should add to the title a tag [it's only a joke]. Hope kerpeles "noticed" about that article.

Well at least this wasn't put into the Press Section
Imagines all the rage at a joke article being put in there.

[bryant.coleman]

If this was supposed to be a joke, then it turned out to be a very sick joke. Tens of thousands of people lost their livelihoods and life savings as a result of Karpeles and Mt Gox. Many committed suicide. Don't rub salt into their wounds any further.

[kpitti]

I did not see this news from another source. I think it`s just bad joke and may be try to took attention. Bad joke for all victims here.
I do not trust it.

[Kprawn]

This kind of thing is just cruel. Some people have a sick sense of humor. To joke about other people's misery is not in good taste at all...

A lot of people left Bitcoin, because of MtGox and some even turned against it, and became "Bitcoin haters"

The damage MtGox has caused, will have a ripple affect through the Bitcoin community for years to come... We do not need sick jokes like this. 

[bryant.coleman]

A lot of people left Bitcoin, because of MtGox and some even turned against it, and became "Bitcoin haters"

What about those who lost their lives?

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1z7a83/man_commits_suicide_over_mtgox_l osses

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Many dozens, if not hundreds might have committed suicide.

[Mehek]

lol m dreaming or its just a joke that much coin can surely enough to crash the btc

[Stargazer]

lol m dreaming or its just a joke that much coin can surely enough to crash the btc

1. It's a joke
2. Nobody would crash the price as the sum belongs to multiple users, so you'd need a 1000 people to dump it the moment it's given back to them.

[Q7]

You can just buy a domain, put some content on it and then write whatever you want. Whether it's a reliable source or not is another issue. I don't see similar references from other sites making that claim and if it is, I'm sure coindesk, cointelegraph or whichever big cryptocoins news sites would have reported it as well.

[dquancey]

I believed this for a second... 

[Sithara007]

Absolutely, the price would probably crash. The market barely handles te 3600 btc that ar mined each day let alone 650k bitcoin. But this doesn't look like a trustworthy or official source.

This might be tactic to bring the bitcoin rate down though I am not sure about it. Someone should do monitoring for all such kind of reportings.
