There's likely still a whole criminal investigation to come. Plenty of people to interview, records to review, pieces to put together. I think it's pretty likely that more information will come out.
- ahlatimer 13y agoI was watching Freakonomics the other day (well, part of it, anyway), and they were talking about how the Japanese police will only really investigate crimes when they have a clear chance of getting a conviction. Take that as you will, but it seems to be that even if there's an investigation, that doesn't mean that anything will necessarily come out of it.
- MertsA 13y agoThat and the Japanese police also will try to get a conviction even if it means convicting someone with little evidence. Combined with their seeming incompetence at investigating cyber crime this does not bode well for the MtGox investigation. The Japanese police have a 99% conviction rate with prosecutors being fired for threatening to kill suspects if they don't confess. The Japanese system of "Justice" strives for convictions, not justice. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-20810572 http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-20810572 Summary: Police arrest 4 separate suspects and get confessions from 2 for having a virus on their computer.
