Definitely smells like an exit scam.
I think so too.
Actually I think we will see a drop in bitcoin price when this news reach the mainstream media.
What just happened does not show the perks of a secure and safe currency.
I think it shows more that companies that hold people's bitcoin need to ensure that they are taking the right security measures, it baffles me how a company of this size and good reputation was able to be hacked and lost 4,000 + bitcoin, something is amiss.
