Regarding MyBitcoin, this is at least better than the owner being a fraudster.
That's still not determined and at either rate the damage is already done.

If it really is the case, then the reputation damage for Bitcoin (fraudster early adopters, everywhere scam services etc.) will be less.
Though it could also encourage less vigilance in the future
DO NOT STORE YOUR DAMN SAVINGS WITH SITES WHERE YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHO THE OWNER IS.
