I still don't understand how such a well known public figure like Mark K. won't face any prosecution if they really did run off with the coins... just because we are dealing with crypto currency and not "actual money" basic laws don't apply? That's BS
We don't know what happened. All we can see are the results. For all we know governments and bankers could be in on this.
I would not be surprised if govs/banksters are involved in this crisis, even if they are not they will definitely point to this incident as an example of how bitcoin is flawed and banks are there to protect people. And people will buy it. We're still too early for bitcoin to really take off
