They can just launder those coins in the altcoin market. It is possible that they were stolen from him by someone close to him (if he really doesn't own them).
Check this: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/04/21/us-bitcoin-mtgox-karpeles-insight-idUSBREA3K01D20140421Developers, stuck without direct access to the Mt. Gox source code, resorted to playing video games, people inside the company at the time say. Employees were also concerned that Karpeles' tight grip on all company affairs was causing a bottleneck: he was the only person who could access the exchange's bank accounts and bitcoin holdings and resolve requests by traders to cash out. Former employees say they asked Karpeles to share the passwords to Mt. Gox's bitcoin wallets in case he became incapacitated or unable to access the data. He refused, leaving him as the only person able to piece together the passwords, written on paper stored at his home, the office, and an undisclosed location. It is clear that Karpeles was the only one who was capable of committing the robbery. What doesn't make sense is why employees did not speak up on the forums and leak things Waaaaaay before they did (after the shutdown). Were they worried about not getting a check or I mean they must have suspected a lot and NOT to speak up seems a bit strange. IAS

BTC = Black Swan. BTC = Antifragile - "Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty. Robust is not the opposite of fragile.

How difficult could it be to attach a keylogger to his computer while he is out for a frappuccino?
Karpeles, after all was extremely intelligent and was ultra-careful about the security issues. And he was in to programming ever since he was just 12 years old. Do you think it will be that easy to steal data from such a person using a keylogger?

I'd rather not comment on his intelligence, however, hardware keyloggers are undetectable even by the most leet hackers. Many have fallen victim to the fbi thanks to hw keyloggers.

If he was "extremely intelligent and was ultra-careful about the security issues", then how do you explain the devastating pair of hacks in 2011? and the trade engine lag that never really got fixed? and the crappy code that was exposed in the end?

Karpeles, after all was extremely intelligent
This doesn't sound right to me. I heard he was French. Am I missing something?

Although from what I've seen, I'm not so sure about either statement. From what I've read, he strikes me as one of those people who would tell people their IQ as a sign of intellect...from the free online IQ test they took when they were 13.

He caused a bottleneck due to which his team couldn't properly secure Mt.Gox. He might be paranoid?

Seriously, where are the missing coins? MagicalTux tell us already so we can finally start the hunt.
btw: What about the efforts to match the leaked withdrawal data to the blockchain? Did anything come from that?

The article also claims that 64,000 btc flowed into the MaidSafe IPO from aforementioned address. Their attention to detail and dedication to accurate reporting is truly impressive here. /sarcasm
