Verdict due Friday in MtGox bitcoin embezzlement case

Another test for J Justice. Pass or Fail? If he is innocent either way the truth will eventually come out, and miscarriages of justice revealed. Hope the court can not blunder this one too.

I sometimes misplace my glasses or keys. I never misplace my wallet - particularly, say, if it had 200,00 bitcoins in it. Kind of a reason one entrusts assets is that they will not be misplaced. Good luck with your defense.

@Reckless That part really stuck out for me too. It suggests that the burden of proof is on the wrong side.

Moderator why did you delete my posts in this thread? should I report you again for deleting peoples freedom to express opinon?

Mark is clearly guilty, he stold the money into a usb drive and went to a foreign bank account with it.

How can it be 'hacked' that large sum of money is very easy to track, if it was a 100 yen for example, it would not sound alarm bells..

The amount stolen is close to a BIllion dollars in todays current valuation also.

Was he "high flying"??  Also, I don't remember outrage at his treatment back in the day along the lines of the current furore over Ghosn.

Reckless

How exactly is how out of his league? He is the first to start the crypto exchange, before local copycats. So he knows the ins and outs on how to steal and manipulate things. Crypto is just liquid at the end of the day, so it's way easier then say physical cash and because it's 'new' and hardly much regulations, he's found a niche to fudge things quite well..

Reckless

Yep, though nothing can be proven that he stole the bit coins, but it is quite logical and obvious that he did, lawyers will blab 'hacked' and other catchphrases so he can be innocent. He also did not spend a day in jail for stealing close to a billion dollars, yet the judicial system here imprisons Carlos Ghosn who IS innocent.

Karpeles will be found 'innocent' cause the hacked bs will just be stated. Karpeles is playing the invisible man card, 'oh yeah it was hacked' while he laughs all the way to the bank..

Yep, though nothing can be proven that he stole the bit coins, but it is quite logical and obvious that he did

Not necessarily. From the sounds of it, he was not a good business owner, and not very organized. Ever since the start he's come across to me more as incompetent more than nefarious.

lawyers will blab 'hacked' and other catchphrases so he can be innocent.

Or maybe he was hacked, and is innocent.

The guy is an idiot who doesn't understand coding or the law.
