The biggest crime didn't happen yet. It will be once we let the central banks controlling the Bitcoin network. But if not, I think that it is MtGox that holds the record in the media. In term of funds for sure, all these shit ICOs are the biggest. Still, it's minimal compared to other currencies and like the currencies, Bitcoin can't be blamed but the platform people use and so these people themselves.

Just a few hacks I collected quickly from the web, as you see, only exchanges here...

Mt. Gox 850,000BTC
Bitfinex 120,000BTC
Bitcoinica 101,000BTC
Allinvain 25,000BTC
Bitfloor 24,000BTC
Bitstamp 19,000BTC
Cryptsy 313,000 LTC
Poloniex 97BTC
