I just wan't to say that I'm dissapointed. Ever since the beginning of Mt.Gox fiasco, half the posts of this forum have been things like:
- "I want to kill Karpeles!"
- "Good riddance Mt.Gox! Die in a fire!"
- "LOL people who had coins in Mt.Gox! You were stupid. You deserved it."
- "Fuck the foundation!"
- etc...

I get it that people are angry... But still. It has been two weeks since all this begun. Also, NOBODY should ever wish somebody else's death.. Ah, Karpeles has lost all our trust, and will never get it back, but I don't want him dead even if I had some coins on Gox. Killing him won't get your coins back! Nor would hitting it in the nuts or bitch-slapping him

And the thing is, we are all early adopters of bitcoin. We all embarked on this adventure quite recently, and we all are partners in this adventure. We should support each other, and project to the outsiders a positive image of the community if we hope that Bitcoin gets more adoption. Not laugh at each other!

Finally, we should focus on the future now instead of going over and over the past. Shit happened. Bad calls were made. But it's done now, and nothing cannot be done about it. What -should- be done now is focussing how we can rebuild the trust of the people into Bitcoin, and further expanding it. And it is not by sending threath to Karpeles we can do that.

+1000.

Aside from the obvious ethical value of the point made by OP, frothing at the mouth is also quite unproductive. I never even registered on MtGox, but if I were affected by this very unpleasant situation I would try to put together a class action lawsuit against Karpeles rather than fantasize about killing him.

After all, Pirate@40 was found guilty in a regular court of law, even if his scam was based on bitcoin. In this case, the company is Japanese so it might be more complicated, but creditors should be able to recover a part of their deposits through legal means.
