This is a poor move by cryptsy. For over 1.5 years, they have kept it secretly. They would have suspended their operations immediately once they realize the missing coins from their wallets. They wouldn't have lost when they did it like that. Silence is the killing factor for cryptsy for now. If they did suspended their operations earlier, many people would have got the original value of the coins back. For the past months, people tried to convert btc to other altcoins for much loss to withdraw. This is isn't acceptable.
Me I got NMC out but put it back because the loss was too big, 10-15% of value or more can't remember. Anyway, that was my decision and it was stupid.
I hope now, that if Vern or the employees didn't steal the coins, the hacker will put the BTC back into the accounts and take up on the promise that he will get 1000BTC and will walk away. Otherwise, in his feet I would take those 1000BTC, hire hackers to find her/him/them and hire some nice guys to pay him/her/them a last visit. But that's all wishful thinking since I lost 3.5BTC in that shithole.
