There was a reason for this. Once the withdrawals that occurred during this period become public you will know why. Certain people had to get their money out before it was made public. Mark is going to jail.

Only if they still actually had the funds. Otherwise it is just another IOU to their right hand from their left.

Last I heard Mark was expecting to help the police "track down the criminals"
Anyone remember OJ?

I heard someone staying at the Bellagio has the stolen bitcoins. Maybe Mark K should go there bust the door down and demand the bitcoins back. Whatever happens in Las Vegas stays there.....just ask O.J.
OH... Might not be any frapacinnos in the jail there Mark, but O.J. Knows where the cookies are hidden.

Obviously you remember OJ.
I wonder if the Japanese police will find the "real crooks" or arrest Mark....?
Mark K knows where the big, yummy cookies are hidden.
