Cambiar a españolThe goxdox.com site, dedicated to the analysis of information related to the emblematic case of Mt. Gox hacking, assures that the Japanese BitPoint exchange house would have been the channel through which 312 million dollars were sold in BTC and BCH , corresponding to funds of Mt. Gox in trust.
Although, to date, it was a known fact that Nobuaki Kobayashi - the trustee in charge of the administration of the Mt. Gox portfolios - had put part of the cryptoactive products in his possession for sale, it was not known what the means had been. used to make your transactions.
The identity of the exchange house involved was announced today, February 5, by goxdox.com, which would have in its possession information pertaining to the Tokyo Court which, in turn, comes from the Bank of Kobayashi. This information accounts for deposits in JPY (yen) made by BitPoint to the account of the manager of Mt. Gox reserves, between February 23 and June 4, 2018.
The evidence would correspond to a fraction of the total amount received by the trustee for his custody, which was declared in his March 7 report. Additionally, they indicate from the site that, not having records before February 23, it is not possible to specify with complete security the total amount traded in BitPoint.
It should be remembered that the trustee would have ignored the recommendations of Jesse Powell, CEO of Kraken, hired by Kobayashi himself. Powell advised the trustee that the cryptoactives intended to pay the creditors affected by Mt. Gox bankruptcy should not be sold; but that, if necessary, this was done through an auction or through OTC (markets where the parties negotiate directly). In addition to this, the CEO commented that both alternatives could be provided by the Kraken platform.
Many argued at the time that the sales of cryptoactives made by Kobayashi, between the end of 2017 and the first half of 2018, would have constituted a price manipulation of BTC, whose losses could be linked to these operations. In this regard, the trustee denied that there was a relationship between the fall of the market and its transactions.
