Lost money on Mtgox? Join us to help press legal and criminal charges against MtGox and Mark Karpeles

http://www.mtgoxrecovery.com

whats your take on this suit?
http://www.scribd.com/doc/209741761/...x-Class-Action

what is the thinking with regards to possible criminal charges?

Total reported lost: 36255.51 bitcoins,

thats near about 22 mil

good luck.

How is possible to lose coins with Mtgox?

Wasn't so OBVIOUS it's going to die?

Supposedly they got hacked. Something like $400 Million worth of BTC stolen over a period of time and nobody noticed what was happening.

If it was a single hacker you've got to believe they are a government backed entity. Which government, who knows. I don't think a common hacker would steal that much. It could also be that dozens if not hundreds of hackers got in and collectively did the damage.

Ya, mid-2013 these mtgox users knew mtgox was having issues, but they decided to keep their coins in mtgox exchange bcos they always posted a higher rate than any other exchanges.

Altho i do feel sad for those that lost coins/money with mtgox, i do wanna point out, they DID KNOW that mtgox was unreliable since last year :(

I knew this, that's why i immediately moved all my coins out of mtgox

Playing with fire then crying because you got burned?

People go on all day about how government regulation has no place in crypto currencies, then when bitten they run to the government for help?

this is going to go as far as legal against epass

Lolnoobs.

I can envision the trial right now:

"Your honor, our ponzi coin exchanger took off with out ponzi money"


people will never accept personal responsibility for their lazy asses...this thread reminds me of the golden days of online HYIP where people got in to stupid shit like 20% per HOUR and then they cry to the government pretending they did not know it was a ponzi...

some people are self entitled assholes and will sue anybody for anything...

would you file you lawsuit to recover your fake money at the fake court?

Good luck with that

There you are, knew you'd be posting in this thread, you just love bitcoins!!! :1orglaugh

yet, .... you dont care right?

and there is someone who believe it was a hacker? :helpme guy have gun near his head already ... :2 cents:

40000 bitcoins are in motion

So you are saying they'll get their money back? I can't see it happening in this case, as I don't think they have the assets to sell.

Beat me to it :1orglaugh

that sucks for Bitcoin users... :(

Like I mentioned in the other thread, anyone who refused to see the writing on the wall last year when issues started arising with withdrawals deserves to have lost their funds, it was their own stupid fault they got fleeced.

Hundreds of people were screaming everyone should migrate across to another service, but hardly anybody listened because the prices on GOX were so likable compared to other exchanges. Greed feeds corruption and it appears this has been going on for many, many months unchecked, all the while MTG has posted PR after PR about how its just a 'glitch' or some such nonsense while the CEO was syphoning off millions of dollars of other peoples monies.

Got Mallicked????

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

I thought the non-regulation and non-governmental intervention was one of the reasons so many were interested in bitcoin? Now people want to file lawsuits, using legal/governmental/regulatory procedures.

Seems ironic…

'Sorry Son, this is for a cryptocurrency that isn't regulated by any individual country or government, case dismissed'.

The lesson that should be learnt from this is don't trust any exchange. All the Bitcoin exchanges are dodgy and shouldn't be trusted with a penny of anyones money, I've said a few times over the past year that these exchanges are the weakest link in cryptocurrency.

Bitstamp = Slovakians with a fake registered Virtual Office in the UK
BTC-e = Russians who do their best to remain anonymous, whois privacy, no registered business address

The one question no one is asking atm is how solvent are the other exchanges, that's what I'd be worried about if I had money or coins with them.

The whole sorry mess has irony written all over it, around this time last year the rise in price of Bitcoin was partly attributed to the bank runs in Cyprus and people not trusting the banking system.

Less than a year later and oh the irony indeed :)

Anyone know how much the Scottish protestor camped outside Mt Gox lost?

I always find it strange when someone is prepared to travel half the way around the world to "protest" aka do nothing.

Lol.. bitcoin

Watch what happens when common sense is brought up :1orglaugh

A few minutes ago on the news he said $360,000.

i am sorry to everyone who believed and lost his money ... but, lesson learned ... and, i am sorry to everyone who thinks this is not the end of bitcoin ... oh :helpme

I care to make fun of fools like yourself, does that count?:1orglaugh

$360,000 and he goes to Japan with a protest sign!

Bless :)

You sound pretty confident - confident enough to take wagers even. Lots of us would take you up on it.

Maybe there's something in the Magic The Gathering Rule book about this? :winkwink:

I shall tap my 2 swamp and 3 plains.

Okay, sad that I know that? what can I say, it was fun. LOL.

yeah, but i really dont take bitcoins :winkwink: :upsidedow

He is now famous and in all newspapers and TV news.
Maybe he can cash on this.

$360,000 invested or he thinks he should have $360,000 supposed value in BC?

Didn't differentiate. Just said he was owed $$$.

:thumbsup Hopefully he only had $500 or so in real money invested

ahahahah you cant lose fake money you fucking LOSERS

Not part of that class action. Criminal charges -> MtGox kept customer deposits on their company bank account which is illegal in Japan.

I'm sure he'll fork it right over honestly

We're almost at 1000 Plaintiffs. Update coming on monday.

Ur telling me the money in my bank that i made from buying and selling bitcoins is fake? :helpme :1orglaugh

These mtgox punks are trying to claim it was stolen or gliche so they don't get fucked up but ANY business can pull that same shit all day....

Tell everyone to relax all is good to maintain value, sell it off and go bankrupt.

-Nothing is real unless it is in your hand.
-Don't invest what you cant lose.

Greed is the only possibly reason anyone would keep their coins with Mt Gox after so much warning. Well, greed or ignorance. Either way, you learned a hard lesson.
