Recovery? LOL! Marky poo probably cooked this up to profit from it. If the spot price at the GOX is $300 but $625 at Coinbase, then he probably scooped up all the loose coin at the Gox himself and then resold them elsewhere for a fat profit.
Man, what a Jackarse Karpeles is, this Brit flew all the way from LONDON. The least you could do is invite him inside and have a couple words with him to tell him what your plan is to fix the situation.
What Kolin should have done in the first place was to talk to Mark without camera and posters. If unsuccessful, he would be justified to bring the camera and confront Mark the next day.
I think Mark suspected Kolin is this guy

Someone will turn that fat rich nerd Mark into lots of jam very soon, believe me. Leave Russian mafia some time.
Gox has lots of problems (due to internal and external causes). If you have only a few pennies at Gox (therefore you don't have a reason to care), you certainly want to see Mark frightened. You are a pathetic idiot.
The catch is: not all Gox clients are as poor as you are. There are rich people who have deposited at Gox more than a few pennies. These people want Mark to sort out problems at Gox in the speediest possible way. These people want him to be undisturbed / want him to focus on his job. The last thing these people wish for Mark is to be under any kind of stress / thread that relates to his health and life (resulting in slowing down recovery at Gox).
Russian mafia? Come on, you only have a few pennies in your pocket. You can't afford to hire them. If Russian mafia ever knock on somebody's door to turn him into lots of jam, it will rather be your door and you. Trust me, people who have deposited at Gox hundeds of thousands of dollars or maybe millions can afford to hire Russian mafia to show up at your door and beat the shit out of you (for causing Mark feeling unsecure and thus slowing down recovery at Gox).
