Well, a gentleman flew all the way from the UK to Japan to have a polite chat with him, so it's not outside of reality for someone to do bad things to him fairly easily.

Beyond that, CEO's of large companies are generally under guard when the crap hits the fan, and Madoff was protected by police.

I wouldn't be surprised if the "CEO" of Mt. Gox soon finds out what a tire iron tastes like.

Tastes irony.

Death threats on HN. That's a first.

Oh, please. How sensitive can people get? That was hardly a threat.

How, exactly, was this a death threat? I find your response to be quite befuddling.
