Track down and confront Mark Karpele's wife and kid to get some answers

[Bit_Happy]

Leave them alone, they are staying with Bernie Made-offs wife.

[Nagle]

As someone who lost all of his BTC to MtGox: LEAVE HIS WIFE AND KID ALONE. This has nothing to do with them, don't be fucking immature.

If she has some of the assets from Mt. Gox, civil suits are appropriate. Karpeles went to Japan with very few assets.  If the wife now has a lot of money, it raises questions as to whether she profited from a criminal enterprise.

Don't be afraid!
We just want to get some answers.

As long as nothing changes hands between Mark and his wife, I see no reason to get his family involved.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Topic of this thread is stupid. His family has nothing to do with it.

Agree even the mafia has a rule not to mess with families or declare a vendetta using omerta

I can't read Japanese so have to rely on Google translate, but the gist I'm getting on this article's second page is Mark got them out of the country in January before things hit the proverbial fan:

Can anyone say "flight risk" ?

Yep, you can get the basic gist from translate & the actual Japanese is rather close to it. It is quickly becoming apparent with this & also the ex-employee story which came out today that he very much liked the high life. The area this house is in, as the article says, is well known for company CEOs to live in. Rumor had it the CEO of McDonalds lived near there as well (hence the McDonalds at that station was always really good & had excellent service lol). I lived not far from there a few years ago, though in an infinitely cheaper apt.

The exact wording about the move to Canada is something like MK's life became busy & then at the End of Jan his wife told someone (probably a neighbor) that she suddenly had to move to Canada. It doesn't say whether she blamed his work for her move when she told whoever it was though. 
The Japanese media can be quite invasive when they want to be & quite w/out impunity, so if this story grows in Japan I'm sure someone will dig him up. Although I daresay he's just holed up in that luxury apt & living via Amazon prime.

I don't care who's family it is, they weren't involved in it and certainly don't deserve what OP is saying. What would they think if they saw this? Come on dude.

Again...
How do you know it wasn't the woman's idea? May be she kept arguing with her husband until he finally gave in to her and they executed the whole thing together as she planned it.
I don't say this was the case but you can not know. So, why do you act like you know anything for a fact?

Even if the wife knows absolutely nothing about anything, but she intends to spen the money what her husband gave to her, she could probably spend stolen money. Is that OK?


Just to be clear.
I personally doesn't give a f**k about his friends or relatives. I am not even obsessed with Karpeles himself.
I care only about the coins, and even then I am far from being bloody serious (it's not that much). The person(s) behind it doesn't matter.
But I feel like I have to make these arguments when I read your posts: "Leave alone the innocent woman". -> Roll back to the beggining of the post: Who knows if she is in fact innocent? I don't. I have zero facts. Where is your proof? Do you have some kind of facts machine?

You don't track down someone with zero evidence.  If you don't have proof you don't involve them, that is how justice works you fascistic fuck.  Everyone is innocent until proven guilty because you can't prove a negative you dumbass.  How do we know your family didn't do it?  Let's all go on a manhunt for them.

dear op,
anyone who goes after the family of someone he had business with is nothing short of a criminal.
dont go there or you will face a very high risk of being treated as such.

I am not mentioning any ethical arguments against that idea, because if  those values would be something you could see in your hunger for revenge, you wouldn´t have posted this idea of hunting (or "confronting" as you put it) someones kids and wife.

[janos666]

you fascistic fuck.  Everyone is innocent until proven guilty because you can't prove a negative you dumbass.  How do we know your family didn't do it?  Let's all go on a manhunt for them.

I don't see how I made myself look like a fascist. Did you even read the last paragraph of my post before you went berserker?

I thought I made it clear that I personally don't want to go after any person and I only care about the coins.
I don't really care if Karpeles himself lives a long happy life or shortly ends up in a plastic bag because that won't change my BTC balance. So, I care even less about the relatives.

I just had to make the point that people should not state as a fact that Karpeles's wife is innocent when they have zero facts about that.
Stating that Karpeles's wife is innocent is technically the same thing as stating that Karpeles is innocent. But nobody here (who whish / able to speak about it) knows that.
We have zero facts in out hands here. We are in utter darkness. We have opinions only.

And in this particular case, I wouldn't be surprised if the wife isn't entirely innocent. (I guess she more or less knew about it if her husband stole money from us and she kept enjoying the money.)
But this is just my own guess, so I tell it like that. I write down my opinion as an opinion. I don't state this as a fact and call everybody a stupid gay nazi idiot whoever points it out that I shouldn't state my own opinions as facts.

Spot on. Like I said before this is about using whatever legal options are available to us to pursue the coins and get to the truth of the matter. If she had remained in Japan by his side then there would be no need for this. But I'm sorry, the timing of her move out of the country is too convenient given the facts we do know and does warrant further investigation on that front.

The fact is if she is innocent in all this then she should have nothing to fear from an official investigation.

So, what are you personally going to do about it? Are you just about to do some "official steps" against her? Or are you just spreading chevy here?

I think even if you will track down Mark K. wife she will probably know like NOTHING about this all case - all she will know is that Bitcoin + her husband = problems.

Yes, also i doubt the fat fuck would tell his wife if he really scammed anyone. Srsly, how stupid would he have to be if he had done that?
