Former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès(Mark Karpelès) proposed a hard fork of Bitcoin to recover approximately 79,956 bitcoins, worth over $5.2 billion, from a dormant address associated with the exchange's 2011 hacking incident. The plan involves creating a one-time consensus rule that allows these funds to be transferred to Mt. Gox's recovery address and distributed to creditors through ongoing legal proceedings. Karpelès described this move as a narrow, specific measure taken in response to a clear theft case, and acknowledged that it could raise concerns about setting a precedent that might undermine Bitcoin's immutability and cause a blockchain split. These bitcoins are separate from the approximately 200,000 bitcoins already allocated during the recovery process.
