Who was the original mtgox owner?

[Meatpile]

Mr Karples: Hello sir, I think bitcoin is a really neat idea and there is some money to be made I would like to buy your exchange.

Original Owner: Sure, just one condition: I want to retain full read only database access so in the future sometime I can game the system and / or have inside trading information.

Mr Karples: Deal, I can't think of anything wrong with that.


So clearly this early adopter mtgox operator was not in it for the neatness of bitcoin, he was a greedy and corrupt fuck.

Who is this man, what is he doing now so I can be sure not to go anywhere near it?

Bernie Madoff is behind mtgox and bitcoin too.

What inside trading information can an exchange operator have?

Darkpools, specific knowledge of peoples login time / patterns, exact names and emails of "wealthy" people

Also, seeing an influx of cash means the price is likely to go up. (10x the normal dwolla deposits due for a day)

Like 90% of the rest of bitcoin users and 99% of mankind in general...

Bernie Madoff is behind mtgox and bitcoin too.

After extensive digging (that's 5 minutes of my life I'll never get barck), this is what I discovered. With Bernie Madoff in jail, there was only one person capable of being behind mtgox and bitcoin. And that person is none other than Mark (think MagicalTux) Madoff. Here's the proof: "His involvement in the Bitcoin project had tapered and by late 2010 it has ended. The most recent messages reportedly indicate that Satoshi is "gone for good"." (source) https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_Nakamoto and this; "His 2-year-old son Nicholas was sleeping in a nearby bedroom and was unharmed, as was Grouper, their labradoodle." (source--December 11, 2010[late 2010]) http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/bernie_madoff_son_andrew_found_dead_41QZ5xHZ2Ifq2IBmRtZgLK

The key here, besides the obvious (both disappearing late 2010) is the labradoodle (A Labradoodle is a crossbred (hybrid) dog created by crossing the Labrador Retriever and the Standard or Miniature Poodle) name Grouper. Rumor has it that Mark (still think MagicalTux) wanted to name the dog "Google" but his father, Bernie, talked him out of it because the word "Google" is trademarked and didn't want his son doing anything against the law. BTW, Google rhymes with Poodle. As far as Labrador Retriever goes, Labrador resembles the word "labor" while, as we all here know, Retriever in a bitcoin miner for the hybrid currency known as Bitcoin. All the pieces fit together nicely.

Q.E.D.

So, if you want the truth, question Grouper. He was at Mark's side every waking hour. In fact, I'm willing to bet they walked together. But we all know that Grouper won't easily answer questions. Therefore I suggest he be taken aboard a US Navy ship and be waterboarded--for 2 months. Afterwards, Grouper hits the trail goes on trial, but don't worry dog lovers, I have this pre-screened jury...
