Karpeles back to living large in one of the most expensive apartments in Tokyo

[exocytosis]

Seeing this, every exchange owner has plenty of incentives to do what Karpeles did. I'm just wondering which large exchange will be the first to pull a Gox. And when it'll happen. Surely by the end of the year.

Do we know MK is in the clear at this point though? japan with their 99.9% conviction rate were never going to throw the guy right into jail.  At some point the truth of what happened will be open to public and amateur detectives will be all over it.  Pretty funny MK is tweeting like nothing has happened.

no sunset there  

  and no electrical pump to spray water on the ass ... to cleanup the mess   (Japan water)

Those japanese toilets scare the shit out of me - no pun intended. I was always terrified to touch any of the buttons in case it actually meant "tampon removal."

[kjlimo]

you are a good detective MightySpoon   - if you are correct, thats interesting news.

okay why he can live in such an expensive flat? hmmm maybe because that ass stole millions ?

could this be his next flat?





no sunset there  

Yep, just a bunch of full moons!

[kibblesnbits]

Maybe he likes to take a crap whit the entire Tokyo looking at him?

That was a good one

I guess Karpeles can't leave Japan and still doesn't mind spending the Bitcoins he has while there is still an opportunity to.
Still classify him as a scammer just one that cannot get away from his venture.

LOL'd at the bathroom design. 

"Yes sir, prospective condo buyer!  And here is the main bathroom, notice the wall-to-wall glass windows where you can show all of Tokyo (and the occasional Godzilla) how you wipe your bum."

Could it be that he's not at his apartment because he wishes to avoid stalkers?

[bryant.coleman]

With the number of people he pissed off however, he will likely have to look over his shoulder for the rest of his life.

Lol... 5 guys lost more than BTC10,000 each. Another 90 or so lost BTC1,000 or more each. So we have a potential list of 95 people. God knows how many of them are Mexican mafia, NY Crime Families.etc.  

Imagine what'll happen if Los Zetas are among the people / organizations who lost their money in Gox.

This Japanese justice system works very well against the violent crimes. But at the same time, it is having almost no effect on the white-collar criminals. Japan is turning to be a perfect refuge to all those financial crooks.

Hmm, that's odd. I would totally expect Japan to have somewhat strict laws on white collar crime. Considering it's a fairly uncorrupt country with a heavy focus on business I would think they would be strongly against that type of crime.

Interesting that it's not like that. I wonder how prevalent white collar crime is if there is little risk and high incentive.

it's really interesting , his ass is toward the outside every time he gives shit like what he did to the community 

lol so true ^^

Can't wait to read about when someone finally decides to pay a "visit" to his apartment

Maybe he will be flung 115 stories out the window one can only pray ?

I'm sure an apartment like that as some good security. I doubt he's going to have randoms knocking on his door anytime soon

He just tweeted, he thinks hes actually given something back to the victims.  IMO he hasnt done anything more than he had to do to keep himself out of prison so far.

What's he given back exactly? And Who would want to take a dump in that toilet? Seems a bit exhibitionist to me.

This guy is a real piece of work. Honestly.

Shows no remorse and doesn't think he's done anything wrong.

It's acting like that makes me think he's involved in the theft.

How can he not be involved?

Not only is the theft not believable (700k coins went missing
and no one noticed..yeah right)...

But then lawyers "found" 200k coins...in an "old style" wallet.

Yeah, the lawyers found it.....

I know it makes me really f****** angry.   If you make this kinda mistake you shouldnt be living in flash apartments while victims are struggling.

1 way i look at it is his ego is out of control but yeah maybe you are right but why does he even open his mouth if hes involved in the theft?

[bitcoin_bagholder]

OMFG a toilet where everyone can see you take a shit. 

One-way mirrored glass. There are actually outdoor public toilets like this in some parts of the world.

They can't see inside but you see everything outside of the shitter.

I think it appeals only to perverts.

is that a real toilet, in a real place?

[Velkro]

public humiliation would be best for him as punishment, he is smiling victims in the face
