I think everybody agrees that there is a high probability that Mark Karpèles will leave Japan to hide somewhere from law enforcement, his creditors or worse, possibly with 700k BTC in his wallet. Everybody that lost money in MtGox and the community as a whole should try to prevent that from happening. I lost myself a decent amount of money in there and at least I want answers from him and his associates in a future trial. For that, Mark's location must be known to local authorities and his departure from Japan prevented.
What ways to contact Japanese authorities are there? Pls provide email, tel. numbers to contact them immediately
Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department General Consultation Center by telephone (in English)
Contact : 81-3-3503-8484 Hours : Mon-Fri 8:30-17:15 Japan standard time is 9 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time. (UTC +09:00)
What further steps must be taken in order to convince authorities to flag his passport, issue an arrest warrant, etc.?
Im not calling for a witch hunt here! Mark as well as anyone enjoys the right to remain innocent until proven guilty. But in order to determine that, we have to make sure that all prerequisits are taken to proof his innocence, in other words: to further a trial to get some answers.

Gox under investigation by Japanese and US-authoritieshttp://www.coindesk.com/mt-gox-subpoena-japan-us/Is this sufficient to keep Mr. Karpèles in Japan? Are we even sure he still is? This picture of Tibanne, Mark's long time comrad and name sake of Tibanne Ltd., the holding company of MtGox, which was supposedly posted by Mark during a chat interview with one of Fox news journalists (that denied he was a journalist in the beginning of the interview ) gives some confidence that he is in fact still in Japan. The picture could have been taken any time though and only posted during said interview (which didnt contain much other information) to assure the public of his steady residence. http://www.wickedfire.com/shooting-shit/179038-my-conversation-mark-karpeles-mtgox-2.html#post2164682In addition to the above picture, his recent news update of 26th, Feb. 2014 on (mtg)gox.com states that he has no intention to run and remains in Japan. February 26th 2014
Dear MtGox Customers,
As there is a lot of speculation regarding MtGox and its future, I would like to use this opportunity to reassure everyone that I am still in Japan, and working very hard with the support of different parties to find a solution to our recent issues.
[...]
Sincerely, Mark Karpeles This recent article by Reuters on the other hand, casts doubts over his actual presence in his designated home in Shibuya District, Tokyo The concierge at his home - an upscale apartment in the Shibuya district - said he was not answering his intercom. His mailbox was so stuffed with mail that the flap would not close. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/25/us-mtgox-website-idUSBREA1O07920140225 From my Gmail back in October, I called that guy, his English is fine: (the mail address is return address to the municipal official, that gave me the contact to the Metropolitan police, so not a cop. You have to call them on the phone!! The country of robots & A.I. ) S0000010@section.metro.tokyo.jp 25/10/13 Dear Mr. Tore Martin Lund Thank you for your email. According to its website, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department receives information of cases by e-mail, but they can't reply to sender. And they deal with matters which are occured inside of Tokyo Metropolitan only. Therefore, about appropriate referense, I suggest you to inquire of Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department General Consultation Center by telephone. (in English) Contact : 81-3-3503-8484 Hours : Mon-Fri 8:30-17:15 Japan standard time is 9 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time. (UTC +09:00) Best regards, Kaori Adachi Citizens' Consultation Section Tokyo Metropolitan Government

He is probably going back to France, a citzen usually can't be extradited to a foreign country.

Good luck with this. The GOX lovers on this forum are still in denial and will probably still vouch for Karpeles.
Also, your post will be removed or relegated to the "service" section as a means to prevent further interest in this topic.

Dear MtGox Customers,
In light of recent news reports and the potential repercussions on MtGox's operations and the market, a decision was taken to close all transactions for the time being in order to protect the site and our users. We will be closely monitoring the situation and will react accordingly.
Best regards, MtGox Team (mtgox.com) That might indicate that MtGox will be back soon and wiithdrawals are enabled again.

Show me that declaration... The only one saying gox is bankrupt is some useless blog, and BTCe. I have photoshop and a calculator too.. I can make fake documents, and claim they are from a "reliable source"... Reliable source of shit.

All the events are nicely timed. The most likely scenario is that this is true. When it looks too good to be true... That is exactly the point... "all events are nicely timed"... (Constructed, Planned, Executed, and Delivered) They didn't "just happen", this is a structured event. Next exchange in the path is BTCe... (Funny that they avoided the largest volume exchange Huobi. Coincidence, sure... China comes into the market, other markets collapse, makes china look like a great deal to invest in, China wins.) Don't worry mtgox is monitoring the situation And I have no doubts that Gox is being monitored even more than they are monitoring. (Not sure about their ability to monitor, after failing to monitor the malleability issue. But I have no doubt they will find what/who they are looking for.)

+1 Stop with the vigilante nonsense. It's not like he's an anonymous guy, he won't be hard to track down if he runs (which I doubt).

You kinda are calling for a witch hunt here. He hasn't even commited a crime yet, has he? Well, apart from running a shoddy business. Mark also doesn't seem like the type of guy to just go on the run either.
