So, was just watching this 'Bitcoin Big Bang CRYPTO Heist' documentary by VincentGonon an XavierSayanoff recently (re-? likely)posted on Plot11's YT channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E-8-oVXV9A) and this user, while already having an inkling about the Mt.Gox situation from many, many other documentaries and commentaries over the years, heard and read some new information on this particular one worth discussing...
First-of-all, this is just more evidence that the so-called 'honorable cult-ure' of Japan is B.S., and one doesn't need to sub to VoluntaryistJapan or theorize about seppuku's effect on economics of a society to find that out (the government was basically like the Bolivian military in KennyRogers' 'TheGambler5' movie, looking for a fall-guy for closure and self-aggrandizement), don't let anime (possible JS-DF agitprop) and panty-vending-machines fool yuh!
Throughout the documentary, this user's inkling that this guy was either akin to MattDamon's character in 'TheInformant' and a total gangster like some think J.Epstein or JFKJr. might be, if 'e's still alive and faked death, OR, bullied by the R-childs dynasty to get ahead of the curve before BTC blew up.
But...this documentary really shows that this MarkKarpeles guy is just kind of...autistic or aspberger's or just differently-wired and can compartmentalize things differently and might be forgetful or easily distracted, while still being incredibly intelligent and skilled (speaking multiple languages fluently).
Throughout the docu, this user begins thinking this 'JedMcCaleb' character is something fishy and scummy and may have played 'im like a fiddle and then this user sees that 'JedMcCaleb' is not only the founder of Mt.Gox...BUT, also that of....
XRP (Ripple, fake banker coin) and Stellar (IBM coin)!!!!!
This user remembers watching a lot of the 'skeptic community' of YT years ago, pretty hardcore on a daily basis, and one of those channels was ChrisandAndyWarski's 'WarskiLive' and 'Undoomed'...and this one guy, 'TheQuartering', who was apparently harassed by some wannabe-victim'Karen' like 'HughMungus' was, was doing the interview rounds on and talked about how childmolesters were pretty prevalent in the 'Magic:TheGathering' community and had exposed at least one who had harddrives of 'cp' on their computer.
'Mt.Gox' stands for 'Magic:TheGatheringOnlineExchange'...right?
Originally, it was a site where someone could turn USD/cash into another currency, like a 'freemium' cash shop not uncommon in gaming today across multiple games (SWTOR's 'CartelCoins', FFXIV's 'Crysta', Destiny's 'Silver', etc..) and/or...Bitcoin.
(Slight digression)
(This user remembers wanting to get into Bitcoin and going to wikipedia to get the link to this site and reading up on how to do this, despite not being a M:TG card game fan, way back around this time after exploring a certain...(ChuckSchumer voice) 'seedy' website at a friend's house at the time, who was several years younger than this user and being amazed at such a website actually existing (as this user figured something like that existed out there, but never saw in-person, first-hand) and some of the stuff on there (unlaced BRICKS from Columbia...etc. Friend and this user had a falling out and this user was broke.../sigh coulda been a millionaire.../digress, but the site ended up changing and/or not working for a time, likely due to Mt.Gox's situation and this user just didn't understand why, and apparently put two-and-two together and it was due to the regulatory agencies coming down and people being upset and the site being 'bled' and stolen from)
(Back on topic)
Being that this 'Jed' guy is involved in that, a fake banker coin, an IBM coin (monopolistic company), it wouldn't surprise this user the guy might be in FB's Libra/Diem 'sTaBlEcOiN' (no such thing, that's Utopianism/coercive narcissism, philosophically, when seeing money as a token-of-faith) or even involved in VeChain (Bayer/Monsanto and Walmart, need any explanation be attached?).
If not this person DIRECTLY, then...perhaps someone who is either close to this guy and/or was/is a M:TG fan), as this was a card game website that was the first major adopter of Bitcoin and used their site as an exchange for it since 'SatoshiNakamoto' made the white-paper. Therefore, one can begin to set a list of potential suspects across the world and begin narrowing it down, using the scientific method, of who is responsible for the heist.
This user was in the mood for thinking aloud about this upon seeing a news article on a crypto subreddit about a 'whale' moving a large sum of BTC after not doing so for many years just recently. (Connected or coincidence?)
Thoughts?
Who does this guy hang out with, perhaps from twitter follows/RTs, that is also into the card game and is well-off (being that it's been years since the heist, some of that stolen money must have been spent on something like a house by NOW)?
Also...recall that CSI:Las Vegas episode where a woman was found to be lying because she was looking to her right, which humans tend to do when imagining, as opposed to the upper-left one does when recalling something. Which way do people...JedMcCaleb...look when asked questions? MK looks to the uppler-left several times.
When there's some...21 Billion+ to 30 Billion+ (by pricing as of this writing) dollars' worth of money out there...in the ether...stolen by at least one, likely several, people, over such a short period of time, it's concerning and worth talking about and independently investigating, and could help put polycentric law on the map if non-State actors could come through and solve such a case or cases. It would certainly have the attention of the likes of variousStates/Drumpf (is this where the guy said 'e'd 'get the money from'/Clinton/R-childs/Rockefellers/etc., etc..
Thoughts? Counter-arguments? Really just bored and passing the time. Thanks for reading.
Sidenote: Ugh...another 'blame the Russians' smearcampaign slipped in at the end by the one guy.
