At this point I am hoping they at least finish paying out the 50%. This hacking incident could have been avoided if they decided to pay everyone earlier in the game. They basically sat on thousands of bitcoins for 2 months telling everyone they did not want any mistakes to occur during the claim process. Evidently now they have lost 30% of their money. This is completely retarded. If they weren't so overly paranoid during the claim process they might have lost 5%-10% through overpaying. Even if they were overpaying, I consider it interest with them holding on to so many customers funds for so long. Now they lost 30% to some random hacker.     
That's what really gets at me with this whole process. If they would have just let Zhou handle the payouts with his imperfect methods, we'd all have had more money in the end, and the Intersango guys would not have wasted entire months manually processing the claims.
