Show of hands ? How many people are genuinely surprised ?
About time they came clean.
I am a bit surprised how utterly idiotic this is. Poor security practices, trying to conceal huge loss, letting the site bomb completely before coming clean... but yeah, a hack was something most predicted.
Ya like he takes a pre-compiled LuckCoin wallet and runs it on his machine with ties to millions in customer funds ?
Further more i already heard waaaay back that they have to compile the wallets themselves so that has to be a lie !
No real exchange runs precompiled wallets. First, they use Linux for backends. Windows is plain insecure. Second, to fire up a wallet released by an unknown dev without a code review? Never going to happen.
Seriously, what part of IT DID HAPPEN didn't you understand?
At one time we had a open communication with Secret Service Agent Shaun Bridges on an unrelated matter, but I think we all know what happened with him – so he was no longer somebody we could report this to.
Timeline:July 29, 2014: $6.5M+ USD worth of BTC stolen from Cryptsy. (Don't get ahead of me!)

https://darknetmarkets.org/2-federal-agents-in-silk-road-case-face-fraud-charges/Two former federal agents are expected to be arrested on Monday on charges of stealing money while working undercover on an investigation into Silk Road, the once-thriving black market website for drug dealing, a document shows.
The former agents are Carl Mark Force IV, who worked for the Drug Enforcement Administration, and Shaun Bridges, who worked for the Secret Service.
Paul Vernon: I didn't know where to turn or who to call when the over six million dollars was stolen because I knew nine months later Shaun Bridges was going to be arrested for ... well, I think we all know what happened with him.
Here's my take: Leroy Fodor is a 100 times more betterer thief than Paul Vernon will even be.
