Specifically , Tokyo police are alledging that Karpales pull wires his own write up at Mt. Gox to show an increment of around $ 1 million . That would n’t exactly come as a surprise , fall in Karpales’past chronicle with internet humbug , or the reports that theMt . Gox heist was an inside task .
Karpales reportedly denied the allegations when adjoin by theWall Street Journal , calling them “ fictitious ” , and say he would “ of course of instruction abnegate ” them . Either way , Karpales ’ apprehension is of little comfort to Mt. Gox ’s former customer — his taking into custody does n’t magically make $ 500 million reappear .
