so, do I understand it correctly: attacker keeps all his coins? 15.600.000+?
Yes ...
It is 'his' chain that is now the main chain,so all the coins created in that chain are the 'legit' ones.
VERY rich MF now!

but ocminer said here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3256693.msg33973629#msg33973629 that coins could be removed. The devs just don't care?
The devs CARE that is why they are doing what they can to protect the network.
They cannot control everything though so to roll back a blockchain to before the attack and exclude the attackers blocks (which I think is what OCMiner was alluding to - and he is correct) ... if that is the case, well - they may as well rename the coin to ETH then!
What has been done, has been done. Only my opinion of course, which isn't worth a pinch of salt if the Verge dev decides otherwise.

That is almost $1,000,000 worth. But I also see that in the ling range, it is less than 1% of market cap. It could go either way really. If they all get dumped it will definitely hurt things. But also rolling back may hurt things worse? Someone should be quick to release Verge Classic if a rollback happens.
