门头沟不是唯一一个被马克.卡佩莱斯搞砸的项目。
根据华尔街日报报道，他还致力于在门头沟办公建筑中，修建一个比特币咖啡馆- 门头沟倒闭前，他一直致力于这个项目。
咖啡馆原本预定于2013年开业，令人印象深刻的菜单中有咖啡饮品，法式乳蛋饼，一个员工说是一个苹果蛋饼就要花费几个小时才能做出一个。
卡佩莱斯十分关心咖啡馆，他甚至从交易所的工作时间（这是处理数亿美元的比特币的交易）中抽取时间编写软件代码，跟踪咖啡厅的销售 – 它将同时接受比特币和日元作为支付手段。
卡佩莱斯购买3.5万美元糕点烤箱和23000美元咖啡机，他甚至聘请了一位顾问，调动了Tibanne 公司（门头沟的母公司）员工到咖啡馆全职工作。
所有这一切的资金都很可疑。
咖啡馆当时预计2014年3月开业，但到这个时候，Tibanne公司已经出事了。
在二月下旬，门头沟宣布，它已经基本上失去了所有存储在交换所的投资者的比特币。直到那时，还不清楚钱都哪儿去了。
这个故事可能还描述了卡佩莱斯是多么令人讨厌，即使交易所火烧眉毛，其他的东西仍然优先。
评论：墙倒众人推，我更相信他母亲说的，他不过是被人利用而已。因为这样就能平账了吧？
Mark Karpeles Spent Over $50,000 on Kitchen Equipment For Bitcoin Cafe
Mt. Gox wasn’t the only project headed by Mark Karpeles that ended up in limbo.
He was also working on bringing a Bitcoin Cafe to the ground level of the building where Mt. Gox offices were located — a project he focused on until the very last days of Mt. Gox operations, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The cafe was originally slated to open in 2013, featuring an impressive menu of coffee beverages, French quiches, one of which WSJ says was an apple quiche that took hours to make.
So serious about the Cafe was Karpeles that he even took time off from working on his exchange (which was handling hundreds of millions of dollars worth of bitcoins) to code software that would keep track of sales at the cafe — which would accept both bitcoins and Yen as a means of payment.
Karpeles purchased a $35,000 pastry oven and $23,000 coffee machine for the cafe, and he even hired a pastry consultant and transplanted a Tibanne (Mt. Gox’s parent company) employee to the cafe project full-time.
The funding for all of this remains dubious.
The cafe was then slated to open in March 2014, but by this time, things at Tibanne had gone awry.
In late February, Mt. Gox announced that it had essentially lost all investor bitcoins stored at the exchange. To this day, it remains unclear just where all the money has gone.
This story also outlines just how distracted Karpeles could be, even as his exchange was burning to the ground. Other things remained priority.
