According to Foresight News, Mark Karpelès, the former CEO of Mt. Gox, has provided an update on the current status of the exchange. Karpelès stated that, to his knowledge, Mt. Gox is operating normally. The trustee is in the process of transferring tokens to another wallet in preparation for a potential distribution that may occur this year. He also clarified that there are no immediate plans to sell Bitcoin.
Karpelès' comments come amidst speculation about the future of Mt. Gox, once the world's largest Bitcoin exchange. The exchange has been under scrutiny since it filed for bankruptcy in 2014 following a massive hack. The process of reimbursement to the affected users has been a long and complex one, with many still waiting for their funds.
The statement by Karpelès provides some reassurance to those concerned about the status of their assets. However, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold in the coming months.
