日本警方逮捕並訊問Mt Gox創始人
On Sunday afternoon, in a central Tokyo detention centre, Japanese police began questioning Mark Karpelès, founder and former head of Mt Gox, the bitcoin exchange platform that collapsed last year.
週日下午，在東京市中心的一個羈押中心，日本警方開始訊問去年倒閉的比特幣交易平臺Mt Gox的創始人、前負責人馬克慍楓萊斯(Mark Karpelès)。
Police, who arrested France born Mr Karpelès on Saturday, allege that he manipulated the Mt Gox computer system to inflate his own company account. They claim he made an illegal entry to the system in February 2013 and increased the balance of his account by $1m.
日本警方上週六逮捕了出生於法國的卡佩萊斯，指控他操縱Mt Gox計算機系統，爲自己公司的賬目注水。警方稱，卡佩萊斯在2013年2月曾非法進入Mt Gox計算機系統，將自己的賬戶餘額增加了100萬美元。
In its heyday, Mt Gox was the world’s biggest bitcoin exchange. But the platform filed for bankruptcy last year after admitting that it did not know the whereabouts of 850,000 bitcoins then valued at about $500m. The damage to the virtual currency trading community was significant, say people who have studied the affair.
Mt Gox在鼎盛時期曾是全球最大比特幣交易平臺，但該平臺去年申請破產，宣稱自己不知道85萬枚比特幣的去向，這些比特幣在當時價值約5億美元。瞭解此事的人表示，Mt Gox破產對虛擬貨幣交易社區造成了嚴重傷害。
