Mt. Gox’s Former CEO Suggests Hard Fork to Reclaim 80K Stolen Bitcoin

Mark Karpelès, former CEO of the defunct Mt. Gox exchange, has proposed a Bitcoin hard fork to recover nearly 80,000 BTC stolen in the 2011 hack. The funds have remained inactive in a known address for over 15 years. The proposed protocol change would allow the stolen bitcoins to be moved using a recovery address signature, specifically for this case, without altering rules for other transactions. Karpelès emphasized the proposal is a draft, not a formal implementation request, and would require consensus from miners and nodes. The idea has sparked debate within the Bitcoin community. Critics argue it violates the network's core principle of immutability and could set a dangerous precedent for future exceptions. Supporters counter that the hack is a clear historical event with an ongoing legal rehabilitation process in Japan to return funds to verified creditors. They also acknowledge the significant risk of a chain split if the hard fork lacks consensus.
