Former Mt. Gox CEO Accuses Ledger of Alleged False Advertising, Claiming Its Security Element Promotions Contradict Its Own Documentation

Former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès posted on X stating that Ledger's official support account previously claimed its Secure Element chip can detect physical tampering and fail the Genuine Check verification when "additional hardware" attempts to intercept signals. However, Ledger's own technical documentation explicitly states that if the original Secure Element remains intact, the Genuine Check cannot detect unauthorized physical hardware modifications such as spy implants, creating a direct contradiction between the two claims.
