If you keep your BTC on an illegal goods website run by drug dealers you deserve to get your funds stolen...

and the bad attempt to blame malleability as the cause for the silk road owner to profit at others expense is the second part of why i laugh at silk road news.
mtgox stole everyone's coins too.
Do I have any proof or evidence to back this up? No, I'm just blindly speculating based on my misguided principles and incorrect stereotypes.
well silk road admits the coins will never get returned.. but MTGox still says that the coins are available. so he is either playing the pirate@40 long con, stringing people along as you say. or the coins will be returned.. we still dont know 100% what mtgox drama will develop.
but the silk road drama, is just comedy to me. what do they expect when using silk road as a bank (store of value). even with paypal i only deposit fiat the day i wish to buy something. or if i sold an item on paypal, id withdraw the money the day its available. drug dealers deserve it as they know they cant simply inform the police of the theft. thus they should have been more careful when handling money.
