I really, really doubt that.
Reading that 400m of investor money was stolen (again, read) from the "biggest[or "one of the biggest"]" exchanges is 100% bad.
Go read any news article and check the comments on it. "I knew it was a scam" "Get rich quick fail" basically this re-assured everyone bitcoin was a scam.
Nope, 99 % don't change their negative view. 1 % does due to the publicity.
At this time publicity is good for btc. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad publicity until everybody has understood btc enitrely.
Show me 1 person that "really" understands that btc is a protocol and I show you 1000 that don't.
