Mt Gox founder Mark Karpelès declares himself redeemed

Original: At long last! Mt Gox founder who accidentally made his hacked crypto exchange users rich, has been "redeemed!" # Bitcoin

Mark Karpelès, founder of the collapsed Mt Gox bitcoin exchange, says he has been "redeemed" years after the 2014 hack that drained the platform. Ironically, bitcoin's price surge since then means many of the exchange's victims who lost coins ended up far richer, and creditors have been receiving long-delayed repayments. Crypto observers are revisiting Karpelès's fall from grace and his unlikely afterlife as an unlikely beneficiary of the industry he helped spark.

Why now: A new interview or story revisits Karpelès's redemption as Mt Gox creditor repayments finally move forward
