Gox, the leading Bitcoin exchange, went bankrupt. This old Magix card platform had just experienced the most important hack in the world of Bitcoin. 850,000 Bitcoins had vanished, a modest sum estimated at the time at 20 million euros. But how can Mark Karpel\u00e8s, this 34-year-old Frenchman, still be at the center of the biggest digital scam? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-black-color has-text-color\">By plunging into the heart of this legal case, this cyberbrake and its consequences are on the borderline between fiction and reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-is-mark-karpeles\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_Mark_Karpeles\"><\/span>Who is Mark Karpel\u00e8s? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-black-color has-text-color\">For this Frenchman who emigrated to Japan, it all started a long time ago. Introduced to computer programming at the age of 4 by his mother, Mark Karpel\u00e8s quickly became a geek with a passion for code, computers and &#8230; cats. But, we won&#8217;t tell you more!
