There is no "bail" in Japan

[5dollarbill]

i'm not getting all this different feedback, is there bail or not in japan after all

Even taking into account peoples' personal feelings about what Karpeles "deserves" I don't think such an obviously corrupt system is something to be celebrated. I was under the impression that part of the value of Bitcoin is the ability to bypass corrupt governments and institutions, so why would you rejoice at their existence?

So, you thought Bitcoin is for scamming people without consequences?

Why on earth would you think that based on what I said?

Many countries does not implement a "bail system". Actually I think this is very specific for USA.
In USA then can you be balied if you have enough money.
Guilty untill rich.
For all the justice systems, the US was always the most funny one.

I mean no disrespect to my fellow US bitcoiners.

Correct. There's only a handful of countries where one can pay a bail to get out of jail. In most countries, prisoners are just waiting for their trial behind bars, and that can last years in some places. At least the time spent waiting in prison is subtracted from the final penalty.

He's going to get what he deserves there and then he'll be extradited to USA to face more charges. It's now game over for him and all his hidden btc.

What else do you mean?
MK scammed people. People want justice. Who else than governmental institution should bring it to him? Do you want a vigilante group to hang him on the next tree?

All the thing they do to the people who commit felonies are good. Because they serve as an example for all the other people in Japan. That is why the crime rate is low, every body is happy and is doing his business. This is a good way how the legal systems should work

Well in India, there is something called settlement and if you can afford that , the indian police will take care of the rest, thats all I know 

[yummyransom]

Why there is no bail in that country?

Mark Karpeles: So, what are you in for?
Prisoner 2: I ripped off a bunch of folks to the tune of millions of dollars. And you?
MK: I simply uploaded a video on YouTube on how to make an apple pie from scratch with my fellow roommate in France.
Prisoner 3: YouTuber, eh?

Then all the other prisons starting setting very, very close to Mark Karpeles until he said, "And spreading PHP." Then, they all backed away to get as far away from him as they possibly could in the small jail cell.
