The problem I have is this hurts the entire bitcoin community ... it has far more widespread than just 25,000 coins here.. or a 100,000 or more coins there...
It makes every bitcoin service look bad... even if the other one is steller it appears to be crap in this new light. He setback the entire bitcoin economy by at least a year or more.
Or this is the prime opportunity for someone to step forward and shine as a reputable service. Bitcoin needs some more grownup infrastructure. We need services that are going to make holding bitcoin more secure and easy.
I challenge the people posting here who are outraged about this to start something of your own. I'm sure we can all pool our heads together and come up with good ideas for services that can build the bitcoin community and move it forward.
Cheers
