The chief executive of the company that runs the MtGox bitcoin exchange was confronted by an angry customer at the company's headquarters in Tokyo this week.
Kolin Buges, a bitcoin trader from London, said he had travelled to Japan as he was unhappy at MtGox's explanation for its recent problems on the site which prevented customers from making withdrawals.
He had 250 bitcoins, worth $155,000 in his MtGox account.
"I want to get my bitcoin back, or get MtGox to bring back public confidence that the company is solvent and people's money [is] safe," Mr Buges told the Wall Street Journal.
