Karpeles Auctions off Bitcoins.com

[CrackedLogic]

So, who one the auction?

Seems like it was stopped: https://www.coindesk.com/auction-bitcoins-com-domain-halted-us-court/

I completly forgot about karpeles auctioning off the domain, I quick whois lookup shows that it still belongs to him and his company. https://www.whois.com/whois/bitcoins.com So I very much doubt it was auctioned

Speaking at the Inside Bitcoins event in New York, Roger Townsend said, “I assume he would be arrested or a person of interest” and that the FBI would likely want to question Karpeles both about allegations of fraud at MtGox as well as potential connections with Silk Road.

He even speculated that the FBI is preparing a grand jury indictment against him and drew parallels to Charlie Shrem, who was also arrested and whom he referred to as Karpeles’ friend.

So, the FBI could go to Greece and arrest the BTC-e dude on holiday from Russia, but can't go to Japan and get Mark Karpeles, eh?

Even though we might think it as an expensive offer, I think anything is possible. Since the domain BitcoinWallet.com fetched $250,000 back then a few years ago, at this stage I don't think such domain in .com extension deserves anything less than that figure. Considering the future possibilities of the growth of Bitcoin, any investor (probably Bitcoin early adopter) might give it a try after few rounds of negotiations in my opinion.

P.S - Sorry, something went wrong on my side and I misunderstood that the domain is again offered for sale in the auction. Somehow I missed the date and few previous posts regarding it.

Seems like he's staying in Japan for a reason. Back in 2015 he's pleaded not guilty for the events based off MtGox. I don't know how, but that's that. Possible FBI involvement too? He's been tied with links to silk road as well as the fracas with MtGox, upsetting to see where priorities lie.

[14:13] <xiando> I'm surprised you actually answer me for once. I did not expect that. I'm just wondering if you have a timeframe for when the "temporary unavailable" bitcoins will be available?

[14:15] <MagicalTux> I'm gonna give a public statement later
[14:16] <MagicalTux> I give you my word
[14:17] <MagicalTux> For you see there is a lot of things we have to deal with now
[14:17] <MagicalTux> It's up to the US govt when we can access the cold storage
[14:17] <MagicalTux> We never got it back after they confiscated it last summer
[14:18] <MagicalTux> I'm gonna be frank here
[14:18] <MagicalTux> They let us keep running the exchange but they did freeze all our assets in relation to the SR to investigation
[14:19] <MagicalTux> So you see it is really not our fault
[14:19] <MagicalTux> So down to the deep truth
[14:13] <xiando> truth?
[14:19] <MagicalTux> It never accrued to us that we would have to access the cold storage
[14:20] <MagicalTux> I'm gonna have

I was fuckin bored at the time while waiting for my favorite girl on MFC to login so that I can jack off to her playing with her pussy.

Looks like he's probably going to cash in on that, or a possible restart? I doubt it's the latter. Seems like an attempt from greed.

This made me laugh - also, they let the exchange run while they froze their assets, And they had access to the cold wallet , Was this legitimate or just bulldust?

Remember when CoinLab was suing Mt Gox for U$75M?

Here's the original contract:

http://ia601700.us.archive.org/8/items/gov.uscourts.wawd.192566/gov.uscourts.wawd.192566.1.1.pdf

Two months prior was the creation of The Bitcoin Foundation consisting of both Peter and Mark, among others, it, too, having the same office address as highlighted above.

Speaking of strange bedfellows, is one the following Mark's cat?
