That's really what scares me, yes.

There is a Bitstamp guy replying on Reddit, but he has hardly stated anything useful.

And it's not just that they have fucked up because they're idiots, they are -still- fucking up.
Problems started weeks ago, they still haven't closed the door to new users TODAY. Binance, Bitfinex, how many other exchanges did close? Bitfinex only reopened with a requirement of 10k for trading. Why couldn't Bitstamp do this?
They are still letting new users in, knowing they can't handle it. They still fuck up, they have no excuse for that.
