Gandlaf: I didn't say I was bored with mtgox. I said I didn't have enough time to do it correctly. Kind of the opposite of bored.
I've never faced legal action because of anything having to do with mtgox. Baron was clearly lying since we have never heard from his lawyers.
I haven't gotten any money from mtgox since the sale so there is no danger of not being able to cover this loss.


So which part exactly did I get wrong? Because Mark seems to state quite clearly, that you a) were the auditor in question(with admin powers) and b) actually did receive money ? Is Mark (MagicalTux) lying in his statement?

Ltd was required to pay the previous owner a percentage of commissions.In order to audit and verify this percentage, the previous owner retained an admin level user account. This account was compromised. So far we have not been able to determine how this account’s credentials were obtained.

Mark Karpeles - CEO
Tibanne Co. Ltd.
