Mt. Gox creditors want to force Karpeles to testify in the US |
March 27, 2014
Creditors of failed Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox are trying to force its CEO Mark Karpeles to go to the U.S. for questioning related to a fraud lawsuit.
Gregory Greene and Joseph Lack asked a U.S. judge to order Karpeles to go to the U.S. for a deposition, according to a motion filed Tuesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas division, which granted the exchange temporary protection from creditors.
Karpeles has to testify in the U.S. to protect domestic creditors because of his involvement in the management of the exchange and his peculiar knowledge of its coding and operations, according to the filing.
The pair rejected a proposal from the Karpeles side to have the embattled CEO go to Taiwan to be questioned by lawyers in person or via video link, calling it “an unjustifiable misuse of judicial resources.”To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
