Does anyone have any kind of proof that a police investigation is actually being conducted in Japan?

There was some well-sourced press coverage a while back to the effect that they were. But I don't think there's anything in the public domain to tell us how hard they're trying, whether they've given up, or what theories they been working on, ie whether they're just writing up the official Gox claim about a theft or whether they're coming down hard on Karpeles etc.

I would doubt that the police have the technological capacity to even know where to begin when investigating this type of potential crime.

**** am I ever fortunate I got into Bitcoins before I had a chance to be duped by Gox.
Seems like half the Bitcoiners have been screwed by this pathetic organization.  Maddening.

I believe I have seen some news reports that Gox has referred the "theft" of the coins to the police to investigate and that they will cooperate.

Now if the investigation will have any kind of teeth, that is another question.

I've said this once before, but one day Mark Karpeles is going to be the star of his own episode of "American Greed."  His rise and fall is exactly the type of story that is always on that show.

"While it's hard to pinpoint where the growing attacks against Japan are coming from, security companies agree that most of the servers used by hackers are in China and that viruses are often written using Chinese-language operating systems. The hackers may just be using the servers, and groups from more than one country are involved, Mr Nishimoto said.

The attacks leveled at Japan are on the same scale as those that prompted the US to accuse China of state-backed industrial espionage, Mr Nishimoto said. The US government indicted five Chinese military officials in May for allegedly stealing trade secrets from American companies. China has denied the accusations."

This article seems to imply that Mt. Gox could have been a victim of industrial espionage.

FTFY

I'd bet that there are some pretty sore and angry people out there that are just waiting to see what happens with the whole fiasco, and that are willing to mete out street justice.

I don't think he has more than a couple years of life left in him.

Quite honestly, I'm a bit surprised that he's still walking around. I guess that there's quite a bit that I don't know, because it all just doesn't make sense to me.

There's a few large-scale scammers with known identities. Every single one seems to be above ground and unharmed.

Regarding the bitcoins that were sold to Mtgox, you just have to wait for the japanese court to handle them and then all of the USD that was owed to you will come without much more delay.

Or at least that's what they're hoping for.

This would be very appropriate for that show.

He is also very incompetent and doesnt have any clue as to how to run a business.

I have read rumors that MtGox may decide they will pay out their creditors in bitcoin for those that are owed bitcoin.
