Could be considered old news...

'$60 MILLION' Bitcoin theft: Hackers steal huge haul as value of the cryptocurrency soars to record high of $15,000

Slovenian bitcoin marketplace NiceHash said its bitcoin wallet was raided

It reported the incident to police and told users to change their passwords

Users shared company's wallet address which showed it had 4,736.42 BTC

Price of bitcoin has surged to over $14,000 gaining $1,000 in less than a day

OG Nasty, how you doing with this?

hacked or embezzling?

It is disturbing.  I think NastyFans was due to receive around a $600 payout from the stolen funds.  I'm waiting out their stated 24 hour downtime to see what sort of statement they will be making and if they will be restoring services.  If not, I may have to look into creating some altcoin wallets and holding LTC/Dash/Monero instead of receiving donations in BTC.
