Silly Money, I agree. But I see here that bter's COLD wallets were hacked. Looks like some very bad random numbers.... very bad..... who knows. However, we're trying to solve these problems with our prototype Wall of Coins:
https://wallofcoins.com , which eventually will be entirely decentralized. We'll building towards that ... will take quite a while!
That's the excuse they gave but it was likely an inside job or they were just sloppy with security/safety. If people keep their own coins they don't have to worry about trusting a third party to do so for them.
