Mark Karpeles, the former CEO of Mt. Gox, was once the villain of the crypto community, with Japanese prosecutors ready to put him behind bars for a decade. The conviction rate in Japan is a staggering 99%, and most people who face charges do not win their cases. Yet, Karpeles did the nearly impossible: he fought the charges and walked away a free man. But now, with his past behind him, Karpeles is launching a new crypto exchange called EllipX and developing a crypto ratings agency named Ungox. Could these projects be his shot at redemption, or are they a risky gamble in a market that never forgets?

Imagine the stakes. The man who once led Mt. Gox, a name now synonymous with one of the biggest hacks in cryptocurrency history, is back in the game. Karpeles himself admits that the hack could have been avoided if the tools and security measures available today had been in place back then. But will the community trust him again? Every step he takes will be scrutinized, and every decision will be questioned. For many, the fear of another disaster is very real.
