Comment on Mt. Gox – Business Plan 2014-2017 [pdf]

Comments

How many employees did Mt. Gox have? This seems pretty polished for a company that I thought had ~10 employees.

I hadn't realized how much equity the CEO retained, 82%?. Am I interpreting this number wrong? This seems like as good of a reason as any to suspect either his team was grossly incompetent or significantly underpaid. Karpeles doesn't strike me as being a Zuckerberg, and you don't get to Mt. Gox market cap without giving up a little share to your collaborators.

This seems pretty polished

Hmmmm, it looks like a standard MS Word template, nothing especially polished, nothing anyone with a proficiency in Word could not knock out.

This business plan looks more like a college kid in an ill-fitting suit and badly tied tie going for their first job interviews.

It seems they only have 1 (maybe 2) based on salary expenses. Everyone else is a contractor.

According to Roger Vin's hostage video, there were "dozens" by July 2013.
