How soon will Mark be put in jail?
I don't think that will ever happen. Rich people never go to jail. And we are talking about someone, who is having $400 million worth of Bitcoins. The Japanese authorities have proved themselves to be notoriously inept. The only chance to bring Karpeles before the law, is to take him to the United States. Seems like that too is not going to happen anytime soon.
If the coins are actually lost/unavailable, then how is he paying for food, hotel rooms and a bodyguard?
Since he is (if he is) a thief, then he needs to go to jail....I know "the system" has major issues.
Rich people never go to jail.
Yes they do sometimes go to jail:
