I expected more from Ars Technica , I can't believe I'm going to say this but CCN usually has more bite than this article, there's no depth to it, only a bunch of quotes.

I did forget about the 10 000 to 15 000 customers per day quote, made me laugh.  Let's keep in mind that there are approx 6500 XPY addresses and most people have multiple addresses to simply transfer money between exchanges (deposit addresses).  What happened to the 100,000 customer claim?  94,000++ thousand of them let their Hashlet go down to 1 satoshi and didn't say a word?  Right Smiley

Yeah, the article is a bit weak, but to be fair the author was drowned in all sorts of stupid when he asked for help here and on twitter:

And the CEO did a few preemptive strikes:

Let's take it for what it is - attention to this clusterfuck from a major tech news site (not just crypto news) is a good thing. Next step - CNN...

Indeed, as long as this gets attention outside of the cryptospace, it's all good. Creates more pressure on GAW.
