DE BANK: De bankhouder ziet er op toe, dat alle bezittingen van de bank op de juiste wijze worden beheerd en uitkeringen en inningen snel worden gedaan om het spel te bevorderen.
BANKHOUDER: Kies een speler als bankhouder. Treedt een der spelers echter als bankhouder op, dan moet hij zijn eigen geld en bezit goed gescheiden houden van dat van de bank. Het is gebruikelijk dat een speler als bankhouder optreedt zonder zelf mee te spelen.
FAILLISSEMENT: Is een speler meer schuldig dan hij kan betalen, dan moet hij aan zijn schuldeiser alles wat hij aan waarde bezit overdragen en zich uit het spel terugtrekken:

After the CEO’s Indictment the Great Mt. Gox Bitcoin Mystery Deepens
More than $100 million is still missing from the defunct crypto-currency exchange in Japan, and experts say it may never be found.
Mt. Gox, once the world’s largest exchange for the decentralized virtual currency, filed for bankruptcy protection in February 2014, when it came to light that 850,000 bitcoins, worth $450 million at the time, had disappeared or been stolen by hackers. Mt. Gox said it also lost $27 million in cash.
To date, 650,000 bitcoins, currently worth over $100 million, remain unaccounted for. And while Karpeles is facing several criminal charges, none of them deal directly with the missing money. Case not solved.
Who took the haul? We may never know, unless Karpeles knows—and comes clean. But analyses by Internet security experts, laid out at a meeting with the press in Tokyo on Monday, give new insights into how the scam came to be.
HET SPEL: Komt men tijdens het spel op het vak “gevangenis” dan wordt dit als een bezoek beschouwd
en kan men rustig bij de volgende beurt verder spelen:
The lawyers told The Daily Beast, “If a bitcoin exchange in Japan, under Japanese laws, is not considered operating as a bank, then it’s even more far-fetched to say he committed embezzlement.”
A certified accountant in Tokyo also said that if the prosecutors are charging Karpeles with embezzlement for this amount of money, “a majority of other businesses in Japan could be charged for the same crime.”
In other words, Mark Karpeles may have been a sloppy manager but if he’s guilty of filching 650,000 bitcoins, the police haven’t pinned it on him yet.
GELD: Mocht er een onbekende speler meedoen dan ontvangt hij zijn bedrag in een andere verdeling:
The report details the activities of a robot program, nicknamed “Willy Bot,” which seems to have been running all the time except between 2:00 and 5:00 a.m. Japan time. Experts estimate Willy was put into the Mt. Gox system and started running sometime in 2013, and was buying hundreds of thousands of coins with fake money within Mt. Gox.
Basically, a random number between 10 and 20 bitcoins would be bought every 5 to 10 minutes, non-stop, for at least a month on end until the end of January 2014. Since Willy was buying in such a recognizable pattern, the investigators figured it would be easy to find in the Mt. Gox trading logs that were leaked near the time of the bankruptcy.
The act perpetrated by the anonymous person or persons is clearly voluntary and illegal. The bitcoin trading data showed that Willy the automated trading robot was used to manipulate the market and possibly steal coins as well.
The computer software, because it had database access, was trading different accounts at Mt. Gox, using fake money by creating new accounts and setting the balance of those accounts to millions of dollars. “The bot would spend that fake money on the exchange buying up a few bitcoins every few minutes, which would usually take a day or so to spend.”
OPMERKINGEN: Niet thee gaan zetten en nooit naar de WC gaan tijdens het spel:
Huge discrepancy
The resulting chart shows a dramatic difference between the number of bitcoins Mt Gox should have held, and what it actually held.
