Pretty simple question.

Is Karpeles' scam more like Bernie Madoff or Jon Corzine?

The printing press heralded the end of the Dark Ages and made the Enlightenment possible, but it took another three centuries before any country managed to put freedom of the press beyond the reach of legislators.  So it may take a while before cryptocurrencies are free of the AML-NSA-KYC surveillance plague.

If you define 'lost it' in a very very loose way, sure.  How about 'skirted away'?  Or better yet, just put it in scare quotes.
