Is Mark Karpeles in jail now?

[RawDog]

Is the fat boy still in jail - or did he bail out?

[RodeoX]

Apparently Japan does not do bail. He's in a cage.

Agreed 99% of cases in japan = jail time

They only bail if you give them millions i read.

I think investigations are still ongoing and he isn't fully on jail now. Apparently he will be on jail for at least 7 years, which is nothing compared to what would he have gotten in US. He will leave in 7 years and by then the Bitcoins he has stored (which im sure he has undetected BTC stored somewhere) will be worth millions.

Do they take bitcoin?

The US could then extradite him.  Put him in a US jail for another 326 years.

AFAIK, only gross negligence is proved against him. US wont charge much for this, unless Ross Ulbricht lawyers can prove that he is the real DPR.

Bail out is popular thing only in Western Societies. In Japan this is almost unknown occurrence if someone bails out. There must be certain set of circumstances to even try.
If Karpeles will be judged on Japan soil it would be hard for him. But I think he would appeal to to jury to be judged in France (he has French citizenship) or some other country when law is not that harsh.

Probably no, japan prisons are harsh but he won't be bullied at least. Here is the short video about it:

I thought Japanese government decided that bitcoins can not be owned by anyone?? Maybe he will be freed in no time...

I'm sure that Mark Karpeles will be in the apple pie factory, with his eight-hour shift consisting of peeling half an apple and passing it on to the next guy to peel the remaining half, all the while the smell of delicious apple pies will permeate the room, where he'll never taste the fruits of his labor.

7 years is still better than nothing
Im pretty sure 7 years is enough for the prisoners to bully the crap out of him 
But i agree with you, he should stay there longer

7 years is just a petty punishment for someone who let $500m dollars be lost in the void. If he was jailed in the US, I doubt that he‘ll be free in 20 years. There is serious money involved here.

After searching web for couple minutes I can't see any recent news regarding Karpeles trial. The last info is about his arrestment and charges:
http://seenewsupdates.ru/2015/10/12/mtgox-bitcoin-chief-mark-karpeles-charged-in-japan/ There is nothing new.

That's why i said he said should stay longer
Are there anything the bitcoin community could do to make him stay in jail longer ?
Maybe make an online petition for him to stay longer in jail or something like that
