Video translation from Roger Ver:

"The video says that after being held in custody for 1 year, he is out on ~ $100K bail. For the bail conditions, he isn't allowed to leave Japan. The prosecutors are accusing him of embezzling ~$3.4M" - source

Unconfirmed rumors from a source in Japan who I suspect actually is reliable and knows:
* The official investigation was closed a long time ago and Mark
Karpeles was awaiting trial
* Even though the investigation was officially closed, many former
employees has been called for interviews by the police recently.
Therefore, it seems like the investigation has reopened
* There are theories that this is related to the fact that Japan
classified bitcoin as money, and therefore, the premises of the
prosecution was changed. Because of this, the investigation was
restarted from square one.
* Mark Karpeles lost 35kg while in jail
* Waiting one year for trial is rare in Japan, a country with 99.99%
conviction rate. The reason seems to be lack of evidence or lack of
skills to investigate this complicated case from the police. They
normally don't want to go to trial unless that are absolutely sure it
will lead to a conviction.
* The French embassy started complaining about the long time he was
waiting for trial
* In Japan, it's very common that the police coerce people into signing
confessions, this is one reason why the conviction rate is to high ( see
this example
http://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/201 ... 4eWD5dIWfp
). Rumors says that the Japanese police tried to make Mark sign a
confession that he is Satoshi Nakamoto.
