MtGox CEO ordered to U.S. for questioning on failed bitcoin exchange

“The chief executive of Japan’s Mt. Gox, once the world’s leading bitcoin exchange, was ordered to the United States to answer questions related to its U.S. bankruptcy case, filed after the company lost $400 million of customers’ digital currency.  U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Stacey Jernigan on Tuesday ordered Mark Karpeles to appear on April 17 in Dallas at the offices of Baker & McKenzie, the law firm that represents Mt. Gox.  Mt. Gox customers want its chief executive and majority owner, Mark Karpeles, to explain why the exchange shut down in February and what happened to their 750,000 bitcoins, which the company said were stolen in a computer hacking attack.”
