Mybitcoin was an obvious anonymous hack. Bitcoinica has created an impression of them being the most reputable institution in the Bitcoin world, registered with NZ's financial regulation authorites, having CTO "with specialisation in information security", "never compromised", venture capital funded etc... these are VERY different things.
I agree these are different things, but:
Blame the victim is never a good argument.
(emphasis mine)
You even said that this also applies to the pirateat40 case which should at least raise as many red flags as MyBitcoin.
Look, I just don't see much value in adding insult to injury - no matter how the injury came about!
You blamed the victims of MyBitcoin back then, now you're saying that blaming victims is
never a good thing. Feel free to point out the whole dozen of my logical fallacies if you will - this is going too far off-topic already so I'm gonna leave it at that.
