OK, Blockscan (not updated) show on Poloniex's address 15vA2MJ4ESG3Rt1PVQ79D1LFMBBNtcSz1f amount of 13,154 XCP.
Counterpartyd (version 6) show 48,154 XCP, so
Poloniex did get the 35K back after version update.


Can confirm that 6.0 wipes out the relevant transactions:

Some sort of resolution to make the most parties happy still has to occur on poloniex before trading can be opened up. The most agreeable resolution would be for the hacker to return the BTCs, all trades after block 286712 to be cancelled, and the BTC refunded as appropriate. I don't know about the XCPs withdrawn from purchasing at the dump.

Again I should emphasize that such incidents are hardly unique to any coin. Bitcoin had similarily serious issues at a far more mature stage, and Nxt just has a critical issue last week despite a much larger market cap.
