UK company linked to laundered Bitcoin billionsA UK company has been linked to the laundering of 650,000 stolen bitcoins worth £4.5bn, a BBC Radio 4 investigation has found. The coins were taken by hackers from Tokyo-based Bitcoin exchange Mt Gox, leaving tens of thousands of customers out of pocket. Mt Gox operator Mark Karpeles apologised to investors and said he was co-operating with the investigation. But a group of amateur investigators, WizSec, found that hackers had targeted Mt Gox. Many investors are now pushing to see their Mt Gox bitcoins refunded at the current price, and a decision is expected within the next few months.
