I haven't heard much about this guy for a long time. Is he still in jail? Is he due in court some time soon? Has he already been convicted? There's not alot of info out there. I'm willing to bet he ain't as fat as he used to be.

Most likely he is still in the jail. I think he better stays there as many are still after an explanation from him, the moment he is out of the prison.

I think he is, there were some news lately and I think the trials wasn't even over yet or something. I think he will be out of jail faster than we can imagine, for some reason that's what I think. He will probably be out in 10 years and if he wasn't a total idiot he should have kept some Bitcoins hidden away from anyone where he can only find them, and in 10 years anyone holding something like 50 BTC will be rich as hell so that should be enough to retire. |

He's out. Got out a long time ago. In Japan, they go pretty soft on guys if they say sorry and bow down. Pretty much a slap on the wrist is enough. I think Mark is in Monaco on the beach now. They don't announce it because they don't want others to know how easy life is for criminals in Japan. |

Who is he Some time ago, bitcoin owners decided that allowing a centralized exchange with a completely trusted CEO to hold their money for them like a bank would be a good idea. Yeah, I know, it's exactly the sort of thing Bitcoin was intended to prevent, but ... reasons! Well, predictably the banker's business model involves fractional-reserve banking. And as intended, Bitcoin is not compatible with fractional-reserve banking. So Mt Gox (you pronounce that, EMPTY-Gox) imploded and the sort of people who trust central bankers lost money. Even though they had deluded themselves into thinking that they weren't trusting central bankers. (cue world's smallest violin, playing a sad song). Mark Karpeles? Yeah, he was the central banker in this scenario. Last I heard France and Japan were negotiating whether France could extradite the guy and prosecute him there on a different set of charges. But that was, like, a year ago. |

He's out. Got out a long time ago. Source? Don't listen to him, he's talking out of his ass. But someone must know if he's still locked up. Did no one from this wonderful worldwide community send him commissary money? |

He is actually the opposite of what you saying.... without him we would have been trading in quadruple digits by now. The amount of damage Mt Gox caused the reputation of Bitcoin, is simple enormous. A lot of people got burned in the most early stages of it's adoption phase... some of those people turned against Bitcoin and are spreading FUD all over the place. In almost every media coverage or content being created about Bitcoin... Mt Gox or Silkroad are mentioned at least once.  |

MtGox was *the only relevant exchange for years,* no one watched anything else. Mt.Gox price WAS bitcoin price, no ands ifs or bits. err... make that butts. Why does this toxic community *always* crucify its Saviors? |

He's not out. He's (finally) in - cooling his heels waiting for trial.
As best I can tell, he's been formally charged (finally) last month on security fraud, so he'll be going to trial (and given Japan's extraordinarily high conviction rate, almost certainly to jail) sometime in the future.
Japanese law prohibits holding someone for more than 3 weeks without formal charges, so he'd been walking around loose for most of the time until charges were filed just last month. Now that charges have been filed, and considering the high probability that he'd hightail it out of the country otherwise, they're holding him.
Japanese investigations into many different aspects of the affair, which could result in further charges, are ongoing, and I guess France's extradition request is (and possibly others are) still standing.
Japan figures he's in their jurisdiction because the bulk of the crimes were committed on Japanese soil. They're right.
France figures he's in their jurisdiction because he's a French citizen. They're also right.
Several other nations (US, Australia, and several smaller) are lined up behind them for extradition on the grounds that he committed crimes (theft and fraud mostly) against their citizens. It is debatable whether they are also right, but most of them have a policy of giving up on extraditions if the party serves time in a different jurisdiction for the same crime so it's unlikely that it will be an issue.

Monaco isn't a safe place for him though, now that we knew he's hiding there, the rest of us may pay him a visit along with our zumos. |

Do you have any sources for that? I doubt that he's out. http://business.newsln.jp/news/201605091218060000.htmlBased on this article it seems he is still in jail.Use a translator and you will get the basic informations. |
