Who knows where this statement was made: http://www.coindesk.com/bitstamp-claims-roughly-19000-btc-lost-hot-wallet-hack/

On their homepage : https://www.bitstamp.net/

No, that still has the old statement. The coindesk article contains a new one from Bitstamps CEO admitting the 19000 BTC are lost.

So effectively someone managed to stole the hot wallet. This is a shame again for bitcoin. We should move on to multisig exchanges and p2p exchanges with FIAT assets like BitShares bitUSD.
