I think there's definitely some sort of reality distortion field in Mark's head - that or the interview's been heavily edited.

Thankfully I never had any money in MtGox, but comments like "I learned a lot, but I lost a lot" and "I always worried about ‘What if all the bitcoins were gone?’" really make me think he never did and still doesn't understand that he was responsible for half a billion dollars of other people's money.

I just don't comprehend his attitude. He's posting pictures of kittens on twitter. It's just... odd.

Even his own mother seems to think so.

“(Mark’s) communication at a personal level is catastrophic. It’s always been difficult to get him to speak. We tried to get him to be more extrovert”

She does believe her son is honest. I imagine most mothers might be slightly biased towards that judgment.

I think we will be finding out more information about what actually happened at Mt. Gox for years to come.

Who has the rights to the movie?

I don't know, I think it's probably difficult for any of us to imagine how we'd react to losing half a billion dollars.
