Blame the victim is never a good argument.

That's what this whole thread is about, blaming the victim. Assuming OP is true, then Bitcoinica is the victim of a theft. Everybody here is blaming Bitcoinica, not the thief.

If this is really a theft, and the thief wired money to accounts of his own, I really hope all this AML crap is for once put to good use and this asshole is caught, and forced to return everything he's stolen.
If it's not a theft*, then MtGox at least would know. I hope in this case they break the silence, otherwise they would be accomplices.

*EDIT: If it's not a theft done by a third party. Either way the costumers' money was stolen.

I disagree. The victims here are the people, Bitcoinica's depositors, who have their money "evaporated". Bitcoinica it appears at least complicit due to gross negligence if not worse, as some allege.


Surely this ain't the guy responsible for both hacks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb3n0g2NenI (watch all the way through to get full impact and enjoyment)
