I have talked to James.
I can give you guys a small unofficial update.
James can't reveal any details until the official statement, but he says the coins are fine and that there has been no hack or bug.
He also hinted upon legal issues, which leads me to believe that the reason GLBSE was taken down was due to legal issues probably SEC or something similar.

Thanks for the update! This is looking very bad though. This could take many months to solve.
