It was BitJohn quoted on this topic before from years ago about the cold storage practices.
More than likely what he was told..

Vern is the one who should be doing the explaining here.
And his hiding from this does not look very good.

I just don't think it was started initially for scammy purposes.
But people run a business to make money obviously.
I think at some point Vern just wanted out and seen crypto in a long rut.
His level of guilt is questionable a bit.. But he is guilty of wrong doing for sure.

And I am not trying to be frugal about it either just saying 99% sure speculating from an outside perspective is not the same as being 100% sure.
I think Vern was the hacker most likely and he had Mullick help him with the Lucky7coin shenanigans.
It could have played out differently but that was my first thought when I heard about the hack.
Why would Mullick be running downloaded new shitcoin binaries?
When he said in the past he compiles them.
And that bit of hacked code was not in the coin on launch either..
It was a newer commit where that IRC code was added.
A lot of it doesn't seem right for the hacker story..
If Vern was infected why did he not state publicly what malware was installed on his network?
All known malware is identified by name.
And what security was he running?
The hack claim is monumentally vague..
I know because I had to fix people's computers who were infected for a living.

And it goes on and on..
Such as Vern claimed he did not know who to contact about it.
But BitJohn mentioned AML related requests on them..
Uhhh duh?
Any agency would redirect him to the FBI etc.
Had he made the call evidence could have been collected.. On his PC's.
And as the guy said earlier.. The other exchanges could have been alerted and money frozen etc.

So yeah best i can tell Vern and maybe others also were behind it.

What baffles me is the money never moved.
And will it?

No sane person would delete or lose the private keys.
I contend someone is deliberately avoiding touching them but could.

..just thinking out loud (in poem form) Cool

PS:
Cryptsy China..

Oh so to you it seems BitJohn asking for AML documents means it was a delay tactic on their part to steal money as a collective? (not stating a fact just asking for clarification if I correctly read what you wrote)
Shocked

Yes of course it was a stall tactic and added to the amount of data a corrupt company held. At the end, support was telling people to get their account to higher level to withdraw, knowing full well that would not work.
Ask yourself, why would they do this?
