Ledger CEO clashes with former Mt. Gox chief over $90 million wallet theft
CoinWorld data: Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier and former Mt. Gox chief Mark Karpelès have publicly clashed over a modified hardware wallet warning linked to an estimated $90 million cryptocurrency theft. In an exchange on October 17, Karpelès questioned whether Ledger clearly communicated the dangers of a sophisticated spy implant. Gauthier defended Ledger's security efforts and challenged Karpelès's criticism. The dispute stems from the discovery of unauthorized electronic components in a genuine Ledger device, with investigators finding that the additional hardware was capable of capturing the wallet's 24-word mnemonic during setup and transmitting it via cellular connection. Research estimates losses exceeding $90 million. Ledger has not confirmed this figure as a final verified total, and Karpelès's claim that early warnings could have prevented these losses remains unsubstantiated.
