What do we know about Gonzague Gay-Bouchery (of Mt Gox)?

[sobriket]

With the emerging news about Mark Karpeles' dubious background and past convictions, my interest in Gonzague, who is rumoured to be much more involved with runnning the business than his title would suggest, has grown.

The guy loves and drives luxury cars (his site: NihonCar). He likes sushi. Just like Karpeles, he's married to a Japanese woman and has a daughter.

He also runs AkihabaraNews.com/ (his profile)

As Karpeles' right-hand guy (Business Development Manager), he must surely have been in the know about the situation. Nevertheless, he flew to Taipei in business class and stayed in the Westin (http://pinsta.me/gonzague) as little as a month ago. The next picture posted is titled "back to work", suggesting that despite all the trouble Mt Gox was in, he was on a brief holiday.

But apart from these little bits, very little is known about him. Does anyone have information on his time in Paris, and if there were circumstances that made him move to Japan, just like in the case of Mark Karpeles?

I'm being serious here. Whatever coverup is going on, this guy is in on it. And why did he delete his Google Plus account just recently?

No, he's been working @ MtGox for a longer time, but deleted his G Plus account only in the last weeks (as there are still inbound links from Google itself and lots of Google Plus-affiliated sites)

I see. Do you ( or someone) know for how long hes work at mtgox? He is a part of it, most def.
And who knows did he also moved from his apartment like mark did?

[sobriket]

He's been working there since september 2011. No idea about moving out of his apartment.

I know a lot of 'Bakers' who have not baked a muffin in their life.  I do find the suggestion of 'homosexual debauchery' inherent in his name wildly amusing though, and always have.  Ya, it's juvenile.  Sue me.

I'm being serious here. Whatever coverup is going on, this guy is in on it. And why did he delete his Google Plus account just recently?

Ummm...because he just lost/stole almost half a BILLION dollars worth of other people's money, and many of them not the most kindly and understanding of people maybe?

[sobriket]

Okay, for some reason he sometimes also uses the name Gonzague-Alexandre Gay (Guess his full name is Gonzague-Alexandre Gay-Bouchery). He used to be CEO at HIC-international(.com), which operates a number of gadget-related sites.

Personal info: http://who.is/whois/akiba.us

He looks and sounds like a veritably sympathetic guy. Looks can be deceptive though!

[CompNsci]

Glad to hear he may have some considerable net worth. More assets to attach in the bankruptcy.

Hello and welcome to my photolog ! After 24 years in France, 6 months in Switzerland, 5 years in Finland, 3 years in China (where I started this blog), I am now settled in Japan where I have been living for 7 years. Most recent photos taken with an Canon EOS 5D Mark III and the following Canon lenses (my dream team) : 16-35mm/f2.8L, 24-70mm/f2.8L II, 50mm/f1.2L, 70-200mm/f4.0L, 135mm/f2.0L and 300mm/f4.0L. You can also check my Reviews of Canon equipment.
My other websites are :
www.benoa.net my very first website, where I gathered the photos I took during the past 14 years throughout the world during my too frequent business trips and not frequent enough holidays.
image-japan.net a website dedicated to Tokyo and Japan, with my best photos!
Enjoy my photos and do not hesitate to leave your mark by posting comments.
