I think this guy is going to need a miracle to be redeemed in the eyes of the community.

I don't think he's "bad." But he made some VERY big mistakes that hurt a lot of people and needs to answer for that. Starbucks is about to be his best friend, when he cashes in the btc he stole and becomes #1 customer.
what is the total amount lost, after the recent amount found is added in Who cares....he hasnt repaid anyone with what he found.... I don't know how the laws are in Japan, but I'm pretty sure that being in bankruptcy he's not legally allowed to pay anyone back.

I think the general consensus is that he hasn't actually found these BTC because they were never lost, but has pretended that he found them. The theory being he was trying to steal them for himself but has come to realise that the coins would be traced after good hackers uncovered where some of them had been stashed so he had no option but to reveal their location. You do not lose 900k or even 100k BTC. It does not happen. He basically was trying to pretend hackers stole the coins right?

Clarification please
Did I mix up stories?
How, exactly, does the FBI have a shred of jurisdiction over a French guy with a company based in Japan?
What'd I miss here?

You hit the mark straight on my friend..Mark jut backtracked his original scam because he thought no one would find out, upon realizing how much of a idiot he was/is, he decided to play it off as though he "found" it.

I really wonder whether Mark K and his defense team is using Bitcointalk and other BTC -related forums to launch a PR campaign on his behalf.

Tell that to the guy who threw away his hard drive. It seems like he was a pretty irresponsible guy who might have thought "We should put some of this bitcoin in cold storage." Stuck it on a thumb drive and put it in some cabinet and forgot about it. I've done half-assed things like that. Remember that he might have done it when a bitcoin was only worth $2 so it didn't seem like as big of a deal as it does to us now. Don't get me wrong, he may be a total thief that almost got away with it, but assuming that's the case doesn't help.

Where in the world did you come up with 900,000 number? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) All articles say mtgox "found" a wallet with 200,000 BTC. That's not even a quarter of what Mark Karpeles and his associates lost/stole from people that trusted (WHY???) them. And he tanked bitcoin in the process. Look at the guy, does he look trustworthy to you? If you say "yes" then good luck with all the money you still have.

If you say "yes" then good luck with all the money you still have. that was the first article, the second article was the 700,000 BTC. and he DOES look trustworthy. i'd trust anyone who drinks Starbucks(R) every day. at least he's not buying guns

I will believe what you said if you post a link to the article (from a reputable source) mentioning the newly discovered 700,000 BTC you're referring to. That's funny how that is NOT on mtgox's home page, I would expect such news to be there.

I really don't see what the point of making this thread was... Unless it's like someone said, that Mark K.'s law team has started some PR campaign trying to change public opinion... But yes, he is bad. This can be remarkably changed around after he returns everyone's "stolen" "property." < LOL at property.
