Bitcoin hack report suggests inside job

A group of hackers investigating the collapse of Mt Gox, the Tokyo-based bitcoin exchange, has lent weight to the idea that it was an inside job, publishing a report detailing the activities of an automated bot that appeared to game the fragile system by buying hundreds of thousands of coins with fake money.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

This theory isn't new and this is exactly what people had speculated had happened and I personally think it is very likely this business what lead to the collapse. What we really need to know or find out is what happened to the money and who has it. I'm sure Karpales is responsible in some way but it could be some other hackers or manipulators but sadly there's no concrete evidence pointing to the true culprit.

So exactly what the Japanese authorities thought.
Filthy Karpeles, it was him for sure...

We were several steps ahead of them when we all noticed the suspicious issues that MT.GOX constantly had, Mark Karpeles is either grossly incompetent or implicit in what he's doing, he shouldn't get any profits from anything to do with MT.GOX let alone have a say in how it's run.

The U-Turn the press will do in light of this information is going to be pretty ironic considering how they were screaming about the MT.GOX collapse so much back when it actually happened.
