the man's name is Kolin Burges. he is a london software developer.

and he deserves a pat on the back for this.

I've seen it and it almost makes me laugh, I mean..thousands of people and of relevant websites have blindly trusted this chubby guy that doesn't even take a protest seriously.. and there is also the cliché smiling asian guy taking pictures all the time come on.. the malleability bug was systemic ok but what the hell..  Grin

ps. and they are still a gold member of the bitcoin foundation it appears...   =-)

Why don't they just send the guy his bitcoins, he's stood out in the snow for goodness sake. He probably has ID with him, the guy he confronted just wasn't interested in helping him at all. This is looking bad.

Strong everything.

Almost like a real-life DoS attack.

Mark looks malleable, but apparently he's not.

His morning coffee/dessert stole the show.

The reddit post really fleshes out the details.

The end may indeed be nigh for MtGox, but I sincerely hope all the bagholders get their coins back.

mtgox 1btc = $360
coinbase 1btc = $650

Spread is now ~45%. Those assholes at mtgox have a license to print money: buy their own cheap btc from panic sellers, don't allow anyone else to transfer out but themselves, sell on another exchange like coinbase for an instant 100% gain, rinse, and repeat. Maybe that's the plan all along, criminals...

The comments under this vid are hillarious, someone should forward this to that "disgusting fat troll" so he can read what people think about him. On second thought, somebody wearing t-shirt in winter probably doesn't care about anything.

I think I felt a bit sorry for him in that video. Am I losing my mind?

His morning coffee/dessert stole the show.

It's a frappuchino.

Nobody in Japan invests in bitcoins, that's why.
