This is unsettling.. because I just opened an account a few weeks ago and completed my first transaction with them. As a test and it took about 5 days from when initiated, but it went through. Now I have a positive balance with them, should I remove my bank account info with them? Is my checking account safe at all?

Your fine, ignore the hysteria. There are issues, and they take a long time to get resolved, but by and large the crap you hear in this forum about Coinbase is just people panicking and shooting from the hip. We have been conditioned to think the moment something goes wrong, it's a scam! While there have been scammers associated with bitcoin, Coinbase is not one of them. A better thread to look at would be the reddit coinbase thread where a couple employees, (bitcoin batman, cbsupport, cbsupport2) can help you out if you have a problem.
