MtGox Karpeles told to close Bank Account due to Fraud - refused.

[BittBurger]

Interesting.

"Class action complaint ... accused Mizuho of knowing of Mt. Gox's fraud.   ... according to a recording of a conversation between the bank and Mark Karpeles ... a bank official leaned on Karpeles to close the account voluntarily, citing "various issues." But the bank official also warned the account could be closed without notice.  

Karpeles told the Mizuho official Mt. Gox was unwilling to cooperate."

If the bank was involved it should make it easier to at least get the fiat back, than hunting down Karpeles.

This is useful. Now Mizuho Bank, since they're being sued too, has an incentive to get to the bottom of this and pin the blame on Karpeles. They have their copy of all the Mt. Gox fiat transaction data, and internal investigators and auditors.
