Most likely doing well , how wouldn't he while he is a millionaire or billionaire or whatever .
Last thing I read about him was this : http://www.coinbuzz.com/2015/03/31/mt-goxs-mark-karpeles-leaks-damning-dea-agent-emails/

Problem for him is that there is no way to spend a lot of his cash as he is being watched constantly... Say a new car would probably be seized..

Well he didnt hide the fact he was living in a high end appartment too much when he posted all the pictures a while back.  Generally i dont think he is the type of guy to flash the cash.  He will just be a geek businessman or in jail maybe who knows.

He is not in jail, everyone would know about that if he was. I think he is just keeping a low profile and hoping this will blow over, as time go by.
I am more worried about the projects he might be involved with now. The DEA thing was an attempt to gain favor with the community in my opinion.

it depends. if he can find some one willing to buy his coins anonymously below market rate, then he can basically do and buy everything he wants. especially if he started a new business, then there will be less attention pointing towards him when he buys a car or so. he just need to generate a new and decent revenue stream if he hasn't already. he is enjoying his wealth while others lost so much. unfair world.

Didn't know Maxcoin had anything to do with Mark Karpells. Wasn't Max Keiser involved?

Somebody able to explain, why Ross Ulbricht brags in journal about him losing 2 Mio USD with MtGox and at about the same time Marc Karpeles Dwolla account gets seized by the feds with about 2 Mio worth of Bitcoins in it?

Bitcoin is not a bubble, it's the pin!

No no. Once you gave him the private keys they no longer belonged to you.

My private keys are still private.  Wink

BTW, I transferred USD to MtGox and bought BTC. Unfortunately there seem to be no official investigations. Looks like the officials ignore bitcoin related crime.

Seems to be free and doing just fine.

He still claims he is completely innocent and that he will be able to clear his name at some point, but I highly doubt that.

Ross Ulbricht? Though there are some other issues involved not only bitcoin.

How is he ever going to be able to spend any of the BTC's that he 'allegedly' stole during 'MtGox-gate'. Presumably the addresses where all the 'stolen/lost' BTC's reside are being watched constantly. Nobody is going to be able to move or spend them without being investigated. It makes you wonder what the idea was all along. Surely he should have just continued running his presumably very profitable exchange?

I'm surprised he has twitter & puts stuff about his life on there etc. A lot of people lost a lot of BTC on MtGox so there will be a lot of anger & ill feeling towards him. I would have thought it'd be better for him to keep a low profile for his own safety, it'd also show those burnt by MtGox a bit of respect.

I wasn't hurt by MtGox but I can imagine those who were being really pissed off seeing him joking about & enjoying life on twitter.

I spent a few minutes scrolling through his Twitter. Not much going on there. It reads like an unemployed guy trying to keep up appearances.
He's got to act innocent I suppose. Can't do it forever.

After reading some tweets I gotta say he is doing great.

I'm surprised he has twitter & puts stuff about his life on there etc. A lot of people lost a lot of BTC on MtGox so there will be a lot of anger & ill feeling towards him. I would have thought it'd be better for him to keep a low profile for his own safety, it'd also show those burnt by MtGox a bit of respect.

I wasn't hurt by MtGox but I can imagine those who were being really pissed off seeing him joking about & enjoying life on twitter.
