I mean, who would change places with him? His head has a price, and he will never be able to hide anywhere in the world or spend any of that money. He is going to live the rest of his life being watched by authorities all around the world and he will have thousands of people believing he is holding the stash.
- vmception 4y agoThe US government indicted the BTC-E founder, that indictment details the hack of many exchanges including Mt Gox. Gox was fractional before Karpeles even bought it, due to this hack of bitcoin.

But he did operate it while being insolvent, as well as operate a bot to trade against his users. Either way, if restitution goes as currently planned, he's going to walk away from this an incredibly wealthy man. Individuals will keep suing him, but ~3 billion dollars can buy a lot of lawyers, and it seems unlikely that the government has anything left to prosecute him with.
