Why not more information? You failed to answer some very basic questions that everyone is wondering:
- How much was stolen?
- Why aren't you covering the stolen amounts out of your own coffers? It was your site security that failed, not the fault of your users.
- Given that your company is insolvent (obviously, or you would be able to pay everyone back in full), are you not afraid of being sued for the remaining amounts and then being investigated for criminal activity as a result? It is against the law (at least in the US, not sure about European countries) to display favoritism to one creditor vs another when you know the company is insolvent.
All account holders should be taking the same haircut and be repaid by the same percentage of their original balance.
It would also be interesting to know what happened to bitcoin-central and whether that bitcoin-central incident is somehow connected to Instawallet issue in both the technicalities of the attack but also the damage done and what is the company structure that is behind the issues to absorb and handle the losses.
There seems to be plans in place to open the bitcoin-central again soon having that set of customers suffer no losses I am wondering whether it is legal to favour bitcoin-central customers over Instawallet customers in this situation if there are same companies involved and if they are insolvent?
