Japan-based Mt.Gox
CEO Mike Karpele—who may or may not be Chris Farley reanimated with the
soul of Reddit—just copped to some very bad news: yes, he lost all your
money.
We still
don't know why all the money is gone, or where it went, but a
combination of theft and titanic incompetence is likely. The bottom line
of anyone who used the Mt.Gox exchange: your account balance is now
zero.
But at least we know Karpele hasn't fled the country, yet. AFP reports Mt.Gox
is doing more than just bowing with shame: the virtual currency
exchange is bankrupt, and is seeking court protection accordingly.
Funny, how these people only want anything to do with the government
after they've fucked themselves over into another dimension. That
dimension is filled with dreams of Kickstarter projects backed with
internet money, Dorito-crusted sushi, Doge posters, and now lots of
shame and backtracking.
Not everyone is cool with the apology.
