[aso118]

Bitcoin CEO indeed...
The media seems to be intent on sensationalizing any news related to Bitcoin.

[Bitcoininspace]

This is just ridiculous. How can a person fuck up this much?

I posted a comment earlier saying he deserves more time in prison without even knowing this, now I hope he really does get more time.

At least now he won't need to use btc to pay for sex.

the article say mtgox ceo, is the title here that is misleading, OP forgot about the only truly strengh of bitcoin

i would not be surprise if he used other money for drug for example, rich people use their wealth for superfluous things

I have been following headliness in Japan for a while. Numerous websites and diaries said "Bitcoin CEO" literally, and they tought that "Bitcoin went bankrupt" when they meant MTGox. Imagine if we are ahead of the pack, that entire populations think Bitcoin has a CEO. I can't believe Japan can be so dumb with their headlines when they are leaders in technology.

This is why Satoshi needs to come forward to be honest. We need another face to represent bitcoin instead of that french fuck.

[Triple]

Wtf. So I guess that happened...

But, now we know that BTC can be accepted among prostitutes as well :}

[Bitcoininspace]

Someone should find out who Mark is bunked with in his cell and buy that other guy a year's supply of starbucks and have prostitutes visit him on a weekly basis.

 It is ignorance of press and journalists,newspaper want to have readers,journalists wants to get paid of article,

No he doesn't! Bitcoin represents itself. It's meant to be from a beginning that way. If the media are illiterate idiots then that's their problem, not ours.

Also it seems to me that OP has made the same mistake as the media since in the Tokyoreporter article that he has posted they don't say Bitcoin CEO, but Mt. Gox CEO. Unless he has read MSN article and posted Tokyoreporter one!

[ajareselde]

After he was cought for multiple allegations with countless evidence, i am surprised that he still bases his stance as not guilty. How can a person do so much
harm to both his own company and bitcoin in general, and still have courage to plead not guilty..

The man needs to be cleaned off from everything he owns and lock up in prison for a lifetime. Doubt anyone here still believes that the mt.gox funds were ever stolen by
anyone other than Karpeles himself.

Why did they name him the "Bitcoin CEO" ?

[Bit_Happy]

I'm sure his wealthy wife will be thrilled to hear about this, and he might have trouble getting her to share the stash of BTC he probably gave to her.

[Lover of Coin]

After Mark Karpeles is sentenced to prison, we will turn a new chapter in bitcoin history. The reputation of bitcoin (community) will recover a bit.

[poncom]

I'm sure his wealthy wife will be thrilled to hear about this, and he might have trouble getting her to share the stash of BTC he probably gave to her.

I thought they were separated and she's moved out of Japan, although that's where she was born. I expect she moved when Mt Gox imploded and the press were all over Karpeles. She probably had to move country to get away from all the reporters and people talking about her wherever she went. This prostitute story is the last thing she needs and I hope nobody knows who she is wherever she's living now.

[Denker]

I mean come on! That was so obvious.He felt like a king.So he banged some hookers.Wouldn't be surprised if powdered hos nose as well.

[gentlemand]

Surely a successful sexy guy like him had the laydeez falling at his feet.

[dothebeats]

Lol at bitcoin CEO. Bitcoin isn't a company.

--

It's obvious that this cat-lover Karpeles also likes to taste some p*ssy for the funds that according to him, were hacked. I am not surprised at all, that's what almost all men with lots of money are doing.

Was he married? Never heard of him having a wife...

[Nobitcoin]

And they say Bitcoin isn't corrupting. He's gonna find it hard in jail with no hookers to bang but I'm no surprised with this new allegation.

[RussianRaibow]

Is it an allegation or just a fact? Is prostitution illegal in Japan?

I don't know what prostitution's legal status is in Japan, but he's been charged with spending customer's money on hookers. He hasn't had a fair trial yet so it's only an allegation until a court finds him guilty of it. I'm more interested in what he did with all the "stolen" Bitcoins, or if they really were stolen.

edit]

Japan has unusual prostitution laws. Paying for coitus is illegal, but paying for oral sex, anal sex, mammary intercourse and other non-coital sex acts are legal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_in_Japan#Legal_status

The definition of prostitution is strictly limited to coitus.[18] This means sale of numerous acts such as oral sex, anal sex, mammary intercourse and other non-coital sex acts are legal. The Businesses Affecting Public Morals Regulation Law of 1948 (風俗営業取締法 Fūzoku Eigyō Torishimari Hō?),[19] amended in 1985 and 1999, regulates these businesses.

[unamis76]

As I've read on previous threads, they can keep him arrested without being judged, simply by being charged with something, but only for X days... Could this be only because those X days were over and they want to keep him arrested?

Either way, he's getting what he deserves for "misplacing" customers funds

is alleged to have transferred 20 million yen of customer funds to his own bank accounts

Weren't all the funds on his personal account, anyways?

Karpeles, a native of France, denies the charges, telling police that the funds were not used for private purposes

Of course not

People are people. They don't know what is the right thing to do sometimes. I blame the way they were brought up or their parents for not disciplining enough as a spoiled child.

I think it might just be best if satoshi stays gone. If the people who hate bitcoin can tie anything to satoshi they will use it to harm bitcoin.

Whats funny to me is, he was actually buying hookers and blow with it lol. The Crypto meme is real!

[gentlemand]

I'm willing to bet that the majority of customer funds will be revealed to have been spent on developing a Gundam sex robot. It'll be discovered in a warehouse and will immediately start dry humping the nearest person it can grab.

I want to see a 'photograph' of him in prison. Words of his suffering are encouraging, but someone somewhere out there has to have the pull to get a snapshot of him.  No photoshops please though even these would be heart warming.

Happened a lot when he got arrested as well, the media was all over this "bitcoin CEO"

[Bit_Happy]

I'm sure his wealthy wife will be thrilled to hear about this, and he might have trouble getting her to share the stash of BTC he probably gave to her.

Was he married? Never heard of him having a wife...

Kids too (if my memory is correct)
Yes, she/they left for "safety reasons" when Gox was starting to stink really bad, so I believe he trusted her with a large number of BTC.

[Pab]

All that stolen money for sex,not bad ,propably he knew he will goes jail,so before he had some,a lot of pleasure
Big mistake from his side,if hewill do that kind of scam in USA now he will be very rich and free man,whatever USA is land of free people Garza can tell you that

[thejaytiesto]

I wonder actually how many japanese people would have heard of Bitcoin and if they have heard it, if they know who the CEO of Bitcoin is. I think that unfortunately TV is still very important in nowadays news, so if the average guy gets his news from TV because all he does on the internet is instagram, he may actually believe Karpeles was the CEO of BTC and he is now in jail.

I have only seen this guy once before and it was in the bitcoin movie that came out a few years ago.
I use the internet for more than Instagram/twitter and have heard of the mt gox headline a few times but never saw the guy until that movie and now from this thread.
Am in America.

[knowhow]

Well he had made a great life even banking womens well now at jail he will be the woman,anyway op must change the subject i were scared if were someone of bitcoin team.

[Hugroll]

lol i didn't even know bitcoin had a CEO. i guess it was for the better because it doesnt look like hes upto good things.

[fuddudle]

that doesn't surprise me at all. Bitcoin was designed to be trustless. Unfortunately, trading it on a centralised exchange, especially one centralised to that degree is completely the fault of users. 

[Meuh6879]

even in 2015, the majority of noobs ... store bitcoin on virtual wallet (or crappy phone with game malware pollution).

Anyone who left coins on Gox after the June 2011 fiasco deserved to get their coins stolen.

Anyone with more than two brain cells not fighting each other for survival knew what was going to happen.

[gentlemand]

Yup. I remember researching coin buying options when I first became interested in the idea in 2013. Gox was the still the daddy. With five minutes of googling I learnt that I couldn't withdraw USD, it had been hacked, it regularly went batty, the CEO was a weirdo who I'd cross the street to avoid and it was halfway around the planet. Er, fuck that shit.

October 28, 2015, Former Mt Gox CEO Mark Karpeles was re-arrested for suspicious activity involved with moving embezzled funds to his personal accounts. Japanese media reports again the new arrest of the infamous “Magical Tux” as the “CEO of Bitcoin” and supposedly he had quite the run with Prostitutes during his last release time.

So, Mark Karpeles was out on bail and opted to transfer some bitcoins to his bank account that, BTW, wasn't locked, and used some of the money to get his pee-pee wet.

Prostitute always want to hide their idendity so bitcoin will be good option for them. And I think he have spended some Of those coins to show those prostitute an example.

Lol, makes sense. But I think you have got it th wrong way. The customers are the ones who like to hide their identity and are likely to pay with bitcoin. Pros. . would just like to learn on how to accept one such payment means. They don't care about their anonymity much as its mostly just cash transactions for them. The customer is who cares about it.

[Kakmakr]

I already see the next headlines, < Bitcoin CEO gets FREE sex in jail every day! > This time he will be on the receiving side of things. ^LoL^ There are more people behind this, and he still gets some support from somewhere.
I would not be surprised, if he was the fall guy for some other fat cats.

Someone should write a article to discredit all these journalist making these absurd CEO statements. I see Andreas tweeted about this too.

[EternalWingsofGod]

So it wasnt just the gox depositers that got fucked then

It's a circle fuck I guess, I would not put it past Karpeles to go get some action using Bitcoin funds.
Haven't looked at the settlement of Bitcoins in a long time as well so I might need to check on whats occuring in the Gox Case later.

Well at least the fun are now short-lived. Enjoy it while it lasts. What is most depressing is that those people who actually lost their money have no way to recover back the coins and now after reading this news, it will make it even worse. Also I wonder if there are still some amount getting stashed away waiting to be recovered.

[Bitcoininspace]

What's a virtual wallet? Seriously, getting bored of the word "virtual". It makes bitcoin seem like it doesn't really exist by calling it "virtual coins".

It's either digital or nothing to be honest, I don't want media to use lame words to make sound bitcoin even more sketchy than it sometimes can be (this is cause of human error, not code).

Newsarticles should learn wtf they are talking about before posting shit like "virtual currency" and "bitcoin ceo".

[pereira4]

Prostitute always want to hide their idendity so bitcoin will be good option for them. And I think he have spended some Of those coins to show those prostitute an example.   

Wrong I think. Cash is still way better than Bitcoin for anonymity if you are going to pay in real life. What would a prostitute benefit from if it got recorded in a public ledger?

Until we have real anonymity accessible by normal people, I think cash will reign supreme for such services.

[techboy2]

Bitcoin isn't a company. How can it have a CEO?

[neurotypical]

Ridiculous, this is the level of journalism that we have nowadays, people don't even know how to do some basic research to get their facts straight, how pathetic, I hope these guys get fired for spreading disinfo, morons!!

[XCASH]

They charged him with embezzling funds which he used to buy a four poster bed. It would be ironic if he used it for sleeping with the prostitutes paid for with more embezzled funds, and the prosecutors proved it in court. I wonder if he purchased blow off the Silk Road with yet more embezzled funds, and if we will find him being charged with it in a few more weeks.

It's not a problem in my view that there are many ignorant or "average guys" out there. Let whoever is not willing to do their own research believe in what they believe. It will only be of advantage to us. Bitcoin mass adoption will take a few more years anyway. While we should inform anyone who is asking and share our knowledge (like we often do on bitcointalk) there is no mission we should go on to educate the masses about alternative financial instruments. Let's make some money for the time being. Hodl, invest, learn, trade, start projects, mine, code, communicate, form communities but don't do BTC's marketing. (Let the magical Bitcoin CEO do it for you! j/k)

[7788bitcoin]

CEO stands for "Corrupt Executive Officer"...

[christycalhoun]

Is there any accurate dollar amount that he used for sex? He stole millions but I doubt he spent more than tens of thousands on hookers.

[lightenx]

Why didn't he gave away those 850.000 Bitcoins 

[XCASH]

Is there any accurate dollar amount that he used for sex? He stole millions but I doubt he spent more than tens of thousands on hookers.

I have not found any figures on how much he allegedly spent on prostitutes, but the four-poster bed he allegedly bought with embezzled money cost $48000. Considering he "lost" 600k Bitcoins he could afford the classiest high class prostitutes in the world. If he paid for private jets to get them to Japan from the four corners of the world then the figure could be way more than the mere $48000 his bed cost. Alternatively he might have paid the going rate at the nearest massage parlor, in which case your no more than tens of thousands figure is more feasible.

[Velkro]

shame on you mark, you did so much bad things to bitcoin community as a whole
i dont wish him beign in prison, but he deserves it

[teddy5145]

Why didn't he gave away those 850.000 Bitcoins 

Simple, he was a bad man, he's not robin hood that steals people's money and give it to the poor,
He steals our money and use it for sex

But why bother paying sex kerples, you can have them for free at prison

[JeWay]

This is the example of the misuse of the anonymity of Bitcoin.
We can't hold them to do this, but we can make it better by not doing the same thing.

I just wanted to say the same thing. It's impossible to wish somebody to go to jail especially if the person has done no physical harm to anybody, but Mark gets on my nerves by what he is doing a lot.

[crazyivan]

Well, moron like him s got no other option then to pay for sex. I hope he does a lot of jail time from stealing from honest crypto investors.

[n2004al]

It was the only last thing that misses to Karpeles. Now its bucket is full with feats. Remain only to count those and to convert (in the right proportion) in jail years. And then even double those. Having in mind all the people who lost their wealth because of him this is the minimum to be made.

[Decoded]

Why didn't he gave away those 850.000 Bitcoins 

He could've given to charity, but no. He gave 'em to sluts.

Good on ya mate, you set a great example towards the bitcoin community.

[Snorek]

So they still have not found the "lost" bitcoins?

Bitcoins can be traced, but finding out who own them now, and now to get it back is different story. If they remains unused we could never be able to recover anything.
But now I think that authorities simply don't know how or don't want to solve this case.

[YuginKadoya]

Well that is one heck of a lonely guy! I think maybe his just lonely, but using bitcoin on hookers well this news is one sick hell, well at least his evil deeds got caught and hello cold bars for him!

Damn i never expected it from mt. Gox. However thought at first it was reputed but hearing about all cases i had put them in my site hatelist

When a person has excess amount of money will do anything like this. That is the reason still it's too hard to earn money in this world to make everything normal in this world. He must a bad example for bitcoin world how a man should not be. I too hate him.

[cellard]

Whenever a man steals a lot of money, make no mistake, he will put it to "good" use, this includes hard drugs and prostitution. Probably fancy cars as well. People that don't care about such lifestyles wouldn't even bother with trying to become super wealthy anyway, specially by fraudulent means.

[Gleb Gamow]

The amount involved is huge. I do not think this is the only "thing" that he bought.

CEO stands for "Corrupt Executive Officer"...

Or, in Mark's case, Cappuccino Erectiled Ogre, as his paid-fors referred to him as.

Madam Butterfly: Okay, girls, the Cappuccino Erectiled Ogre just called again today requesting two more girls. Becky and Sue, you're up next.
Becky: I can't go. I just started my period.
Sue: Me, too.
Madam Butterfly: Well, consider this your pay day. That's exactly what he requested. And make sure to take these pills. Mark desires a heavy flow all over his face.

[Blue_Tiger73]

I think the CEO is a bit brain dead. If you're going to get prostitutes, at least use your own money, not stolen funds. He set such a bad example for the bitcoin community. Also, he depleted his and his company's reputation.

"And then Mark asked the seven, maybe there were eight, girls to show him their pussies, and that's when I realized I was no longer his favorite, so I left and now want to live with you, Mr. Hawking. You could pet me if you want to... I don't mind... no pun intended."

Why is it when ever I look at this guy he reminds me of Alan from the Hangover?
Especially in that Samurai get up. Looks like some fat guy in his pyjamas that made a hat out of his mothers girdle. Now only if he had a beard, he'd be a dead ringer for Zach.   

[enhu]

Makes sense. And I mean if you're that huge and have tons of money, you would pay for someone to check your balls instead of using a mirror.
He should move to China though, China is the future the movie "loopers" said so.. Tokyo is the most expensive city to live in.

With that coins he stole he can live in tokyo for 3 generations
Well, he's going to get jailed in Japan anyway
Can anyone tell me what happen to the Coins that he stole ?
Is it gonna get Confisticated by the government or it will be released to the mtgox users?

200,000 coins were recovered and the rest were never found. Karpeles should never get out of jail via bail. Give him his cats to at least have some pussies around him lol.

Maybe he hid the rest of the coins somewhere else safe and planning to retrieve the coins once he was released 
Maybe he put the private keys for the wallet inside Flashdrive and put it inside bank safes ?
Or maybe he already used the rest of the coins to buy cat food

Looks like he is autistic to me.  I partly feel bad for him but then he also cost me a ton of money so its very hard.  He also was no help in aftermath of what happened and just looked out for himself.

[Pierre 2]

So there is one similarity between bitcoin and fiat money. And it is "they will be used to buy prostitutes eventually."
He sadly will not find them in prison. haha.

so basically he was satoshi second coming, with the remaining 660k coins(coins in total were 860k), he is probably holding something just in case, somewhere well hidden in a paper wallet

so we can say that because of this there are other 660k lost coins, that will contribute to the value increase in the future, well something good from this story went out

So, all the bitcoiners need to jointly work out to keep him inside jail. Because, if he comes out, supply will suddenly increase and everyone will lose the value of their coin.

[gentlemand]

His finances will be watched intensely for decades to come. I remember someone following coins splitting up into multiples of wallet that may be Gox related. I don't think he'll be able to have much fun with his ill gotten gains without being nailed immediately.

"Bitcoin CEO spent stolen funds to buy sex".

First, who gives a shit!

Second (and most important), it's headlines like this that lead people to believe that Bitcoin was created by Mt. Gox. "Bitcoin CEO"...there is no bitcoin CEO. Bitcoin is not a business to be managed. Does "Euro CEO spent stolen funds..." make sense? NO! So why do you write "Bitcoin CEO"?

[Possum577]

I posted a comment earlier saying he deserves more time in prison without even knowing this, now I hope he really does get more time.

At least now he won't need to use btc to pay for sex.

Are you serious? You hope he gets more time because he went to a prostitute? That's fucked up!

What he spent the money on is irrelevant. It has no bearing on the fraud that he did or didn't commit.

By your rationale he should be in jail less time if he used the stolen money to buy a home for his house or food for the homeless!

[QuestionAuthority]

That's funny, I thought he was gay.

[HCLivess]

Bitcoin CEO indeed...
The media seems to be intent on sensationalizing any news related to Bitcoin.

It's not the media, on the site it says mt. gox ceo. It's just OP who's braindead.

At least don't call him "Bitcoin CEO". Saying a scammer CEO would be fine for now. He ran a company that indulged in bitcoin and not the whole bitcoin thing.

[Lituation]

"Bitcoin CEO" spent his dirty money for good thing. Now he can dream about those days in jail.

If I embezzled a lot of money I would probably do the same. Especially with Japanese women. lmfao

That's not true. f you have enough money you can rent the most elite Japanese women. Being a foreigner means nothing, money has ability to open up every door.

Politicians sometimes get in the headlines for using prostitutes, and it doesn't usually do much damage to their political party, or government. The politicians themselves usually have to resign but it's forgotten in a few weeks. I doubt it will do any damage to Bitcoin's reputation, and Karpeles will be forgotten after he is in prison and the 200k remaining MtGox coins are dealt with.

[gentlemand]

That's funny, I thought he was gay.

I really can't believe he had any type of sexuality whatsoever outside of walking around his apartment with manga figurines stuffed down his y fronts. I guess there is a sexy little something about him, those doe eyes and that silky accent.

[teddy5145]

After he was cought for multiple allegations with countless evidence, i am surprised that he still bases his stance as not guilty. How can a person do so much
harm to both his own company and bitcoin in general, and still have courage to plead not guilty..

The man needs to be cleaned off from everything he owns and lock up in prison for a lifetime. Doubt anyone here still believes that the mt.gox funds were ever stolen by
anyone other than Karpeles himself.

He doesn't care about the others anymore, as long as money is still sitting on his side he doesn't need to worry about life anymore
It's sad but money controls everything and since he is filthy rich from the money he stole, he can do anything he want including Buying sex with his stolen money
Don't forget some of the coins are still missing today and he could be hiding those coins

[isvicre]

There is something that people do not really understand.
We all live for women, so if you are brave enough to steal tons of people's money you can easily spend a lot on gals.

Yup! I read the article OP must have misunderstand it, as you have said CEO of mt. gox and he's just using bitcoin for transactions that is all, I think many have misread it, since OP's subject is bitcoin CEO! and I have to add up he's one thug dude in using funds that are not his in dirty transaction he's one mess dude.
