This will create so much marketing and loyal fans for BTC. I think all of the ppl who lost plus everybody else should petition the core devs. What you guys think?

I thought the disney Y did look like a p but still knew it was a y, just couldn't figure out why he did his signature all wrong

Mt. Gox has allegedly never conducted a single audit of its customer deposits, and it is believed that Karpeles may have been the only one within the company to have knowledge of how to actually tap the exchange’s cold storage. It remains unclear exactly how this type of storage leak could have happened over a multi-year period without any knowledge on the part of the executives at Mt. Gox.

As a result of Karpeles’ apparent “Wizard of Oz” status within the organization, it also appears unlikely that the true technical cause of the leak will be fully understood until the embattled CEO speaks. Whether that will happen during an interview or a possible criminal case is unclear.

The latter seems likely, however, as one source believes that Karpeles knew about the pervasive damage of the transaction malleability attacks for several weeks and was engaging in an arbitrage scheme that leveraged the depressed Mt. Gox price to reap gains on other exchanges. This was allegedly happening well before the exchange’s breaking point this past weekend.

drat, i'm actually kind of feeling bad for karpeles. everything seems to be falling on him as the source of the fiasco and it doesn't look like he's going to get support from anyone. kind of worry what that kind of pressure and an insane army of libtards will do to his psyche

After hearing the news a few hours ago I immediately called my best friend, who I knew had about 900 btc stuck on gox. He knew they were probably insolvent and had been acting extremely distraught and detached, as if someone close to him had died. He didn't answer his cell phone which isn't like him so I called his wife to make sure he was ok. I could tell by her voice that she hadn't heard the latest news. She went out to their detached workshop to give him the phone and just started screaming. Primal screams that will haunt me forever. She tried to form words between her screams and tears but couldn't. She didn't have to say anything. I knew my friend was dead. She hung up and I jumped in my car and sped to their home. When I got there she was on the workshop floor with his body. He used a shotgun. She was trying to put his head back together. Blood and brain matter was everywhere. There was no hope of saving him. But she wouldn't give up. I grabbed her and hugged her. We stood there hugging and sobbing until a few minutes later when I got an instant erection, which had the immediate and beneficial side effect of separating my sex from her arm, and started to slowly withdraw my hand from under her. As I did so, I felt the back of my middle finger going on top of her labia, and probably her clitoris. Finally, I managed to pull my hand completely, and confirmed what I felt by smelling my finger.

This was too much for me. Since everyone was sleeping, I started to masturbate very slowly to prevent the bed from moving. It looks like I was not discreet enough as Manuela turned her body towards me as I was nearing the end. I had planned to contain my ejaculation with my other hand, but seeing her looking at me was such as surprise that I ended up ejaculating all over my chest and also over hers. It was so powerful a feeling that I could not let it go and gave it a few more strikes while looking at her stupidly.

Mark was twenty-four. At twenty-two, he'd been a entrepreneur, a captain of industry, one of the best on the net. He'd been trained by the best, by Roger Ver and Bruce Wagner, legends in the biz. He'd operated on an almost permanent adrenaline high, a byproduct of Mountain Dew and Starbucks frappuccinos, jacked into a custom linux box that projected his disembodied consciousness into the consensual hallucination that was the Blockchain. A thief, he'd worked for other, wealthier thieves, employers who provided the exotic software required to penetrate the bright walls of the exchanges, opening windows into rich fields of cryptocurrency.

He's made the classic mistake, the one he's sworn he'd never make. He stole from his employers. He kept something for himself and tried to move it through a tumbler in Amsterdam. He still wasn't sure how he'd been discovered, not that it mattered now. He'd expected to die, then but they only smiled. Of course he was welcome, they told him, welcome to the Bitcoins. And he was going to need it. Because--still smiling--they were going to make sure he never worked again.

They damaged his reputation with a VERY MISLEADING Powerpoint presentation.

Slumped in a chair in a Tokyo virtual office, his standing in the community disappearing micron by micron, he hallucinated for thirty hours.

The damage was minute, subtle, and utterly effective.
