Occam's Razor here is that Karpeles stole the money himself. There is a _very_ rich tradition of Bitcoin service operators absconding with customer funds and blaiming "hackers". Inputs.io, Sheep Marketplace, MyBitcoin, Bitcoin Savings & Trust, and that's just off the top of my head. Most of these services were run by sketchy people who had been into Bitcoin from the earliest days when its only use was buying drugs and gambling on Satoshi Dice. There's a clear financial incentive to abscond with customer funds, and the obfuscated and irreversible nature of Bitcoin makes stealing BTC the perfect crime. Mark clearly had the opportunity, motivation, and means to steal. This would also be fully consistent with Bitcoin history. In my view, 90%+ chance Mark stole everything himself. Incompetence or legitimately was stolen from? 8% chance at best. Gag orders? I'll put it at 1%. It just didn't happen.
