The founder of MtGox was Jed McCaleb and he is the one that started out as a Magic the Gathering exchange. He then switched it to trading bitcoin in 2011. When it began to take off, he sold it to the current CEO Mark Karpeles. The current owner, Mark Karpeles who oversaw the rise of MtGox, the hacking incident, the seizing of assets by the Feds and the shut down of withdrawals in both dollars and now Bitcoin never had anything to do with Magic the Gathering.
